made2beme 119 Posted August 25, 2012 Hey everyone - I am sorry I am asking this question without doing too much searching as I am sure it is answered. But, we are about to hit the grocery store and I have some recipes I want to make from Eggface, but not sure if I can eat it yet? I am on soft food (beginning of 4th week post op) and wondering if Pepperoni (I would get turkey pepp) but chopped up like in the pizza bites, Almond flour in a lot of her recipes and Multi grain pancake mix and/or Bacon (turkey as well) is allowed? I mean, obviously I know that pancakes are soft....but I know they will be sooooooo filling, so just wanted to make sure our sleeve is ready to digest something dense at this point. Also, can you find Almond flour at Walmart or is that just a health food store type food? She has so many good recipes that use the pancake mix to make mini muffins with all kinds of things in them that sound so yummy. I am excited to start cooking things that my whole family can eat....so just want to double check before grocery shopping for things I cant have yet. Any help??

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted August 25, 2012 Not sure who eggface is but in my opinion, now I have the lapband and am going to be sleeved, the food process is the same. By the fourth week you still need to go slow. No one says you can't try a new food, but my suggestion is be careful. Do you think you are ready for flour? Yes almond flour is a good choice but I would wait. Walmart does sell it, I think I have seen it in the international isle, the kind in the cellophane bag. I think if you can hang on don't get to recipe crazy yet. You have done wonderful with your weight loss and you want it to continue............... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
