I am 9 days post op and I'm still on clear liquids. I go to the Dr tomorrow and hopefully he'll move me to the puree stage. Didn't your surgeon give you a good time line?

Yes. He said after 2 weeks I can have things like refried beans ect. But I am dying to just have a little something in my mouth other than liquid. It's driving me nuts.

I totally understand, I'm right there with you BUT my advice would be to just hold off until it's time. It will fly by quickly

Hold off on the noodles. They will work your stomach too hard for this time. A couple months of letting your tummy heal will pay dividends!

Even when you get refried beans, they need to be very runny.

Noodles are very starchy and they are hard for your stomach to process. I would just follow the guidelines they gave you.

I'm on pureed, just started. The ricotta bake is like heaven. However, made a scrambled egg, two bites and the most horrible dry heaves! Your sleeve will instantly tell you.

Lets Look at them side by side:

SF Jello cup: 10 calories 0g fat 0g carbs

Cup o noodles: 314 calories 14g fat 42g carbs

So even if you could have the noodles, you can clearly see why they would be on the no list.

What is this ricotta bake I keep hearing about?

Found it on Pinterest. Looked at pureed foods for bariatrics.
