corn?

When can we have corn on the cob?

My NUT said that at about 6 months, i could do corn on the cob. Simply because corn is hard to digest. i'v had corn not on the cob though, and i figure, that's pretty much the same, and i did fine eating it. Granted i didn't eat a whole lot of it, but still i didn't have any issues with it. How far out are you?

I'm a month out.

I was told that at 6 months I am able to have corn, celery and raw fruit & veggies.

Figured i couldn't have it yet but i was making it for the kids and was hoping i could. It looks so good!

I made some high Protein veggie chili (added in lots of black lentils and some Textured Vegetable Protein) - and I added one can of corn to a 6 quart batch. I have had absolutely no problems with it. I am 8 weeks (2 months) out, and the doctor just told me yesterday I could start integrating in some semi-firm veggies and fruits - I would assume that corn falls into that category. Just like anything else, stick to YOUR doctors recommendations, and whenever you try something new, go slowly, eat a small amount, and try new foods at home in case you have a reaction!!

My doctor never gave me a list of forbidden foods or a time of when to add foods in.

OK... then you NEED to download Dr. Alverez Vertical sleeve book or the WLS for dummies book recent edition. Both tell you the phases of food you should be going through. Additionally, follow up with a nutritionist for any questions you may have and to track your weight loss.

for me, corn is on the starch list, and my NUT advises against any starches for at least 6 months

I was cleared for all foods by my doc and NUT at 8 weeks. I tried corn on the cob at 9 weeks, and did fine. It was so delicious. I have had it three times in the last month. I can eat 1 very small ear, but then chose to have just a half ear the other times to be sure to have room to get my Protein in. One half ear was very satisfying. Remember, it is a starch, so count the carbs in your daily totals.

This is something you will have to be careful about. Half ear. Not often. Self-discipline.
