1shauna1 129 Posted February 18, 2012 I think you can eat most fruits and vegetables. I was told not to eat onions, avocado and a couple others. But I have trouble with fruits and veg, so don't eat enough. I think I will have to start making smoothies or something to get them in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bronwen 11 Posted February 18, 2012 I have a hard time with oranges, lettuce, and asparagus. Everything else seems okay for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1shauna1 129 Posted February 18, 2012 Oh, asparagus was another I wasn't supposed to eat (but have). The one I cannot eat is bean sprouts, no matter what they are in. I guess it's the shape or texture....I always get really stuck when I eat them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jachut 487 Posted February 18, 2012 Anything! I struggle with fresh fruit though, i never particularly liked it begore banding and now its extremely rare that i will eat it. Love the flavour, love having. Big healthy fruit bowl on my bench but just dont enjoy eating it and it blocks me up. I figure the vegies are tho most important nd i eat those, but i think with a band everyone falls short. Having had bowel cancer i relly want to get my fruit and veg i. So i tend to make a lt of green smoothies and Soups. The smoothies i tend to make with vanilla Optifast, of course you could use Protein Powder. Theres recipes all over the net.

Lynn42 8 Posted February 18, 2012 I stay away from raw carrots. I had to learn the hard way. Most everything else is fine...chew, chew, chew! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1shauna1 129 Posted February 19, 2012 I am just curious as to why you can't eat onions and avacados? Did your doctor tell you this? Yes it was in the information I received after. Also it said about the asparagus. My only guess is the texture. Asparagus and onions can be stringy....not sure about avocado except maybe it gets stuck easier? Thinking on this, they recommend dogs don't eat these things either...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard that about the dogs, lol. I don't eat asparagus, but I imagine it would be harder to get down. I love avocado! It's pretty soft, so I can't imagine it getting stuck easily. Maybe you were told not to eat it because it's fattening? They are higher in fat, but it's a good fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
