I think it depends on your digestive track. I was afraid to try lettuce. I thought it would be to hard to go down but its actually the opposite. I was sleeved on July 17th and I'm no longer have any restrictions in my diet. Just take small bites and chew very slowly! Good Luck~!!

Why are some post-op diets so liberal and others do constrictive? My sleeve was done on July 9th and I can't even have puréed food yet? Is there a reason for this? Is it just different surgeons' opinions? What gives?

OMG I would DIE!!! Idk. My surgeon told me he is more lenient than other doctors. He said since I didn't have any trouble getting down liquids that I could move on to no restrictions. I am having trouble with chicken. Depending on how it's cooked, I can't seem to keep that down. Otherwise I'm fine with everything else. I definitely think its dr's preference. Which kinda blows !

Even in the literature I received there were conflicting diets. My doc said 2 weeks if you can't drink it u can't have it. I think it makes it easier for them to restrict as opposed to pointing out all the various exceptions to each rule. For instance I have had avocado, wonton Soup with wontons, and a couple other items. The concept is that it be of that consistency and avocado for instance will chew into nothingness. But great flavor yum. So some of it is just common sense. Speaking of...does anyone have opposing information or is there a risk I'm unaware of?

I was told no raw veggies for 2 months. I tried some the other day, around 3 1/2 months out and to my surprise (TMI!) it didn't get digested at all. So I tend to stay away from it.

Carrots and peppers seem to be fine though.
