                                According to the Obesity Action Coalition, raw vegetables should be avoided for the first three months after bariatric surgery. This is because the fibrous nature of raw produce can be difficult to digest for a newly reduced stomach, leading many patients to question, "Can I have spinach after gastric sleeve?" The short answer is yes, but the timing and preparation are crucial for a safe and comfortable recovery.
