Unable To Eat Veggies With Protein



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months out and cannot reliably eat more than a bite or two past 2-3 oz of Protein.

While I am taking many supplements, it would be nice to eat veggies again. They giving me throwing up, stuck and other related feelings. I would like to continue to consume 2-3 oz of Protein a meal to keep energy up and keep losing weight.

I typically have trouble with brocolli and string green Beans. Regular green Beans are OK if mushy enough. Have not tried salad yet.

Thanks for inputs.

My NUT told me to try eating 2 bites of Protein to 1 bite of veggies. It has worked well for me. You can always get extra protein in a shake.< /p>

Thanks, good idea. My NUT always says to finish the protein first and then eat vegetables if there is room. I typically only try and eat veggies for one meal a day, at dinner time.

I like celery with Peanut Butter, chicken salad with a little bit of celery, and onions, or tuna on letcus. I also try to make Soups or different things that i can incorporate vegetables or fruits into my meals. scrambled egg with added veggies, Protein Shake made with frozen fruit or vegetable.

You can have celery!!!??? I was told never again!

I'm jealous! You don't have issues with it! I was told our tummies can't break down the strings!

I didn't know we had trouble with stringy veggies. That could explain the trouble I am having with string Beans.

I haven't had corn, celery, and some I can't even remember. But my string Beans I way overcook to get them very mushy-

But yeah- I was told no celery- ever- and no corn for a long time. I think I'm okay with that tho. Celery I do miss!!!!

I keep hearing people say they have a sleeve of steel - apparently that is me. No one told me not to eat celery. In fact, I was told that was for lap banders. But I was told it might take a bit of time to tolerate stringy foods and to be patient. I was eating celery by two months, no problem. Everyone is different, our docs all seem to have different advice...

I am almost 6 weeks out and there isn't anything I cannot eat as of yet... I had my first salad last Saturday and it was GOOD... I eat a lot of shrimp because it is high in Protein. I guess I have been lucky... I think the bottom line to whatever it is that you are eating is CHEWING, SPEED, and SPICE.... Not enough chewing and it hurts. Eat too fast and it hurts. Eat anything too spicy and you will suffer for it, at least this early anyway...

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
