I haven't been sleeved yet, still waiting for a date. Anyway, I just had some corn on the cob. One of my summer favorites. Is your sleeve able to handle corn? It doesn't really digest anyway so I just wondering how the sleeve handles it. I'm assuming if you can tolerate it, it would be 4 months or more out from surgery.

I was only told no steak or lettuce for 6 months!

I too love corn but since it isnt low carb I havent tried it, I guess i want for 6 months too!!

I had a 1/2 of corn on the cob twice last week - no problems. I'm also 3.5 months post op. But I'm also a band to sleeve revision and have not had any problems with any foods

Corn does fine for me in small amounts. I think I started at about 6 months. I do not have discomfort but most all veggies wreak a little havoc on my digestion though.

I'd strongly advise you after you have surgery to stop worrying about how much and how varied a diet you can eat how soon and instead focus on eating what you need to eat to lose as much weight as possible in the first six months.

Seriously -- if you're jonesing for corn, you can have it next summer.

It's not leaving the planet.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
