I think yes if properly steamed and then mashed with a form/spoon. How your system reacts will be the best way to judge, I think !

Like all doctors orders are different, so are our tolerances. My doctor told me yes at 4 weeks, and I eat it just fine. You won't know 'til you try:)

Good luck.

Having been raised in the salad bowl, I have eaten Broccoli all my life along with Cauliflower. The only major problem I know of is raw or not well cooked cam cause some people to have gas like cabbage does to some people. Well steamed alleviates most of the problems, soft texture might be better rather than crunchy.

      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?
