I wouldn't introduce it until after week 6. I followed the diet in the book my centre recommends, the Completed WLS Guide & Diet Program, and it has a specific diet of soft foods for the first 6 weeks. It may be harder to tolerate, so I wouldn't ru**** It is a great food though, decently high in protein for a whole grain.
