My plan didn't allow raw veggies such as salad until 12 weeks postop. I can't remember what the rule was for rice but I do remember that I didn't care for it when I did try it. It is still one of the few things that really doesn't agree with me. I technically can eat it but it makes me feel very full and bloated- no fun.

Good luck!

I was cleared for all foods at 6 weeks. Like Amanda, I can eat rice, but don't like how it feels. I find the same with oranges and french fries, they feel really odd in my stomach so I don't eat them. Salads I love.

My doctor allows all foods at 4 weeks. I waited until about 5 weeks to do salads-he advises no iceberg (no nutritional value).

As for rice. My doctor discourages all rice, Pasta, grains, bread. But I have eaten small amounts of rice. Had no problems with it.

I am surprised at the number of doctors who advise their patients to wait until 8 or 12 weeks for solids.

The medical community needs to get together and do some research so we could have some kind of a standardized time line.

I too am 8 weeks post op. Doc gave me a specific diet to start follow. 1000 calories daily it includes lettuce, tomatoes and brown rice. I am good with the lettuce but not feeling ready for rice yet. I think just chew well.

Take care.

I waited 3 months to start salads. I make mine heavy on eggs, cheese, and edamame for the Protein.

I have eaten some raw veggies, but they are tough on Rex. He doesn't like them much.

I've eaten a little rice, but it fills me up really quick. Like, one piece of sushi quick. The same goes for bread. I will probably wait until I am in maintenance for breads and rice.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with salad and rice. Will wait until I hit the 3 month mark for the salad experience. Have had sushi with rice and it went down fine. Sashimi was sooooo good. Still a learning experience but well worth it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
