I am so frustrated and confused help! I am almost 3 weeks post op and i am supposed to start transitioning to solid foods by wednesday. I've already tried chicken and salmon and didn't have any problems. However, I work in home health so I am in a car all day. I bought a cooler to bring with me but I am struggling to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to eat for veggies. I just bought a lot of them to eat raw such as carrots, broccoli, and celery and I'm starting to doubt that I can eat those yet? I haven't had any fills yet. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I dont really have any problems with veggies but make sure you are focusing on your Protein first. Feel free to join my recipe group on Facebook by friending me at hely lb. I have a lot of snack ideas high protein that may help you. Best of luck.

I only know that my doctor tells me the habit of Grazing is bad no matter what you eat.

I have gotten stuck on broccoli that was steamed just a bit. No other veggies have bothered me, but I tend to eat them cooked. I have found roasted veggies are delicious.

Thanks for your replies! I don't graze at least not so far. Yesterday I brought some raw carrot sticks to eat for lunch along with some tuna I ate. I didn't eat very many but I chewed thoroughly and didn't have any issues. But again I have no Fluid in my band and wonder if that will change once I get fills.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
