It depends on which surgery you had. bread and Lettuce are going to be hard on your new tummy and staple lines if you have Gastric Bypass (RnY), Sleeve (VSG), or Duodenal Switch (DS), also Bread is full of carbs that you don't need right now and lettuce has no nutritional value. Lap Band as well but it works different, so you'll have to check with your surgeon.

You can exercise when your body can tolerate it. Start with walking and build up. It's gonna be a tough road. I found my incisions to be the best indicator for when my exercise was too much.. Stick with soft foods as long as you can. Introduce more solid foods slowly and remember to chew them really well before swallowing. Remember Protein first.

Thanks for replying I had the gastric sleeve on July 7. At the beginning I had no appetite now I find myself being hungry when I do eat I feel full a lot faster, I'm wondering does ur tummy stretch after 2 yrs someone had mention that to me not sure if it's true.
