Corn....

[Stephanie M. 21]

I am 5 weeks out and I want to make some crock pot taco Soup that calls for white shoe peg corn. It calls for 2 cans but I plan to only use 1 can. Has anyone had difficulty eating corn at this stage?

Since corn is a starchy vegetable, I don't eat a lot of it. I certainly didn't try it at 5 weeks post-op.

If it's allowed on your program then I suggest just trying it to see how it goes.

Corn is hard to digest so I would skip it all together for now. It won't make any difference in the Soup. And this is coming from a corn lover!

5 weeks post op? I wasn't even on solid foods until 40 days post-op.... I was told no fibrous veggies for 3 months post-op. Besides corn is pretty high in carbs/sugar, so I probably would have stayed away from that one in my weight loss phase altogether. I've eaten corn many times post-op by now, but I'm two years out.

I was cleared medically for all foods at one month. if you have been cleared you will probably do fine. it is a starchy veg, but you are not going to get very much per serving with one can in a whole thing of Soup. you stomach may or may not like whole veg yet. go slowly.

I am almost 6 mths out and I had a mini corn on the cob after eating my Protein. I could on eat about 1/2 of the mini, but did not have a bad reaction. I was on vacation and don't keep it in the house. I love corn, but don't plan on including it in my regular meals.
