Maybe you can talk to your NUT or surgeon to determine when you can take that step.

Yeah id check with your doctor. I know im in my second week and i feel the same but i wouldnt risk eating anything that can make you sick. Your stomach is still very sensative. But i know how you feel, i want a big chicken salad sooooo bad.. Or corn on the cob.. LOL

@ big change, a lot of the stuff you want to eat is mos away. Generally, no Pasta bread tortillas and such for prob 3~6 mos post. Good luck, i feel the same way. Im dying for a piece of bread. I went to Panera to get some Soup and you know how it comes with a chunk of bread, I asked her to take it out of the bag thats how much I didnt want to look at it. Good luck. It seems like time goes so fast but not for those of us waiting to have food, it creeps.

Hang in there bigchange. Let your new stomache heal. Keep eating the foods you are suppose to eat right now and dont rush it. Some of the items you have mentioned that you want to eat will be really hard on your new stomache. You can do this, keep positive and these head hunger feelings will pass soon.

popcorn wont be for a while but I am wondering why you dont know this information? Did your doctor not tell you when and how to progress your diet?

I still don't eat white flour tortillas. I have one corn or whole wheat tortillas once in a while. Noodles are mostly out except for whole wheat and carb control once in a while. chips? Pretty much never - maybe a few on a special occasion. White rice and white bread are out. I will occasionally have a slice of oat or whole grain bread.

I do eat a lot of popcorn, but I think I waited 4 or 5 months.

Do not rely on restriction alone. You need to take this time to modify old easting habits that got you to obesity in the first place.
