Onions

[AuntieLala83 81]

I'm having a Morningstar veggie patty and I love onion. Am I allowed onion at 4 weeks out?

Everyone's doctor's recommendation are so different! I could only eat purees at four weeks per my plan, but I believe that if you are eating the proper small quantity nd chewing very well, you are probably going to do beautifully.

I am four weeks out too and I love the Morningstar patty, or sausage link for Breakfast. I have wanted to add onion or pickle to my chicken salad, but I am refraining because my nutritionist said only soft foods I can cut easily with a fork. I figure I only have a few more weeks till I can try it without worrying. Good luck.

By the way when was your surgery? Mine was the 24th.

At 4 weeks, I was allowed full foods, but Frankensleeve didn't like full foods yet - especially anything fibrous like onions. If you haven't tried onions yet, be sure an eat only about 1/2 teaspoon of them to test how your new stomach will tolerate them. 1/2 tsp was enough to cause stomach distress if my sleeve didn't like a food. My sleeve always felt like a garbage disposal grinding rocks when I first started eating vegetables again.

Mine was the 25th. Just transitioned to food today but my tummy didn't like the raw onion. Maybe grilled next time

LOL! My sleeve did that with cottage cheese of all things.
