Well it all depends on your dietician. Under my plan it states that I can have spinach in my soft foods stage.

I could have spinach at week 5 but was told to make sure the stems are removed.

Creamed spinach is SUPER high in fat, so I would think even if you were cleared for spinach, you shouldn't eat that since it could make you very sick. Super high fat/high carb foods tend to give sleeve patients diarrhea and/or stomach upset.

And since it isn't considered healthy either, you might want to consider not eating it unless it's a very special occasion.

I make my spinach with a dab of real butter, and garlic (either minced in olive oil or garlic powder) and salt and pepper to taste.
