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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
