I'd check with your clinic. It wouldn't have been allowed that early on my clinic's plan, but they're all different..

Not on my plan. That would've been more like 2 months out. Protein first, then veggies, then starches.

I ate the meat (bolognese) sauce alone but when I got to the next stage of solid foods I’d add fresh zucchini noodles occasionally primarily to ensure I was eating more Protein at first.

PS - the dried high protein vegetable pastas still contain flour so something best to try closer to or at maintenance. Personally I found they sat heavily in my tummy (even at about 2 yrs) but I may try them again in the future.

Congrats on your surgery.

Phase/Stage 3 is pureed foods (next step after full liquids), so no, your new stomach isn't ready for veggie Pasta yet.

The great thing about cravings is that they go away (usually within 20 minutes) whether or not you give in to them.
