1st fill: When can I eat raw vegetables?

[Lilium 2]

I just had my first fill and am confused. I will be on liquids and then mushy foods for a few days. After that the doctor said I can go to dry foods. I was wondering when I could eat raw vegetables and if some cause problems more than others.

I love to snack on raw vegetables, but now, after having my 3rd fill, those are pretty much a thing of the past. Too hard. Carrots are the worst.

If you want to eat raw carrots grate them.If you eat them in chunks you could get stuck so badly that it requires an unfill - I know a number of people this has happened to.

If i remember correctly, i was allowed raw veggies after 3 months. When you eat them be sure to chew very well...I regularly eat baby carrots but I make absolutely sure that I chew them to death so they don't get stuck.

We got thru phases at differing rates. It took about a year before I was brave enough to try such as carrots, cauliflower or brocoly in the raw. You will learn how to do such as the right time. In the meanwhile, steamed and soft is good.

I was able to do raw veggies until my 3rd fill and havn't been able to since..I try and take small bites and chew chew but i can only get down a baby carrot and maybe a piece of broccoli...but it still bothers me so I just added them to my list of cant eat...

what else is on your list of cant eat? I think my band is at a perfect restriction but I dont know what I should stay away from. I found today that deep dish pizza crust is a no no, and toast is out. I didnt know this about these vegetables.

I am at restriction and was allowed raw veggies when I was back on solids. I have baby carrots everyday for lunch though I dip them in hummus.
