Randgalt 43 Posted September 4, 2012 If it fills you up fast isn't that a good thing? That suggests to me that you'd eat less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You want to get your Protein in first, veggies,,fruit then healthy carbs. I know..you would think it would be a good thing to get filled up fast..they make pills that supposedly help do this.lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LT1002 138 Posted September 4, 2012 Peacequeen, how long until you were able to eat leafy greens? I've tried a few times and it hasn't gone well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacequeen 434 Posted September 4, 2012 Peacequeen, how long until you were able to eat leafy greens? I've tried a few times and it hasn't gone well. I was a couple months out and I incorporated them slowly..and cooked them till they were soft. You can add them to Soups too. I couldn't eat a salad till I was about 3 months out and I chopped the lettuce till it was like slaw. The only thing I have a hard time tolerating now is milk and bread..not milk products..just milk..strange because I used to love it..would drink alot of it pre-surgery.

I should add that a couple months out for me was really about 3 1/2 months because I had a leak and I had to do liquids and mushies all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
