I am so excited about getting approved to eat raw veggies and salad, but I forgot to ask if it was ok to eat skins such as apple. Does anyone know? I had my surgery on 9/12 and am on a anything I can tolerate!! So happy!!

I don't know for sure, but I would assume as long as you chew them good you could have the skins.. I like mine peeled :P and grats on the new step.. so exciting isnt it. I just enjoyed a bowl of grapes last night.. never has a grape tasted so sweet and juicy and wonderful..lol

Wow! I can't have raw veggies until 4 months. I would peel the skin at first if I were you.

Enjoy!!

I'm so jealous, enjoy for me. My NUT just said yesterday that it would be 3 months before I had raw veggies and salad. I am dreaming of spinach salad with sliced almonds, gorgonzola crumbles and craisins.

But I'm excited for you!!! Good luck and keep us posted.

I was sleeved on 09/12 and the doctor advised me not till after at least, two months out on salad and peels.. You can try it but everyone that has prior to 3-4 months? said it hurt like hell... I would love a really good salad but I can wait.. I haven't had any problems food wise.. I am whey Protein / lactose intolerant so I had to start eating a little earlier just to get ANY protein... The soy made me gag...

      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.
