Broccoli not friendly!



Recommended Posts

Ooooooooo! Just ate some very soft, tender broccoli for lunch. Kept it down but it kept wanting to slide back up! This is my first time to try broccoli since my sleeve - it will be awhile before I try again. Weird!

Was it cooked? It must be cooked very well when you're newly sleeved.

:lol0:had this exact same thing happen to me with green peas and carrots! Tummy was reacting like a kid who hates vegatables. . .came up in a slime ball. . . broccoli doesn't sit well with me either, brussel sprouts are great, so is eggplant and peeled tomatoes, pickles are good too. . . :crying:

Will this change w/time?

Broccoli is about the most "good for me" vegetable that I actually LIKE. I think eggplant and squash are disgusting.

Hopefully this is just a temporary thing! Or maybe I can put it in a blender...

Ewwww! Bless your heart!!!! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that! I have wondered what sleevers would have happen with broccoli because like ouroborous, there aren't many veggies that I actually like. Brocolli, purple hull peas, salads and hominy are pretty much it so I don't know what I would eat after having the sleeve if those are problem foods. Maybe give it a few more weeks and try again. Is this the first time you've had something like that happen? Hope ya dont have to deal with it anymore because it does not sound like it was fun!! Ugh, you poor thing!!

I eat broccoli just fine. I eat it raw and cooked. I couldn't when I was first sleeved though.

Every body is different, yours might not reject broccoli, but you'll find out what you like and don't like. . . broccoli for me is "if it's there good, if not then good too" couldn't care less about broccoli. . . now my gross vegatable is hominy! That is just not normal!:lol0:

Broccoli didn't work for me the first time I tried it either, but now I can eat it like a champ. I only eat the top of the florets none of the stems. I usually eat it steamed or in a casserole so it's always super soft.

My friend was talking about having broccoli and cheese with dinner the other night and I thought "OOOOOhhhh, that sounds good!" Haven't had broccoli since surgery and I'm not sure why, because we used to have it all the time and I've had all kinds of other cooked veggies since, and raw lettuce, with no problem. Well, I kinda forgot about it for a few days....

....and then when I saw this thread this morning, I asked my hubby to cook some broccoli with the pork chops tonight (I don't get home from work until almost 8:00 three nights a week so he cooks those nights). I was so excited... I ate my little bites of pork chop until I was almost full, then had maybe a quarter cup of broccoli with Olivio spray on it. Tasted soooo good...

....until about 20 minutes later when my stomach went "Oh no you di'ent," and up came ALL the broccoli... not just a little bit like has happened before when I've eaten too fast. So I think it was the broccoli that did it! Dang it, all this time I've been thinking I didn't have any problem foods LOL. Anyway, you're not the only one! :scared0:

      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.
