Need some help from others who hate veggies.



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I am doing my 4 week diet with the nutritionist-today is day one and I did okay. I truly hate veggies, don't particularly love fruits either. I am wondering what other people do to get the veggies in or what they have with their meals that are good? I have always been a picky eater-and I can try some new things, but not all at once. I am also wondering what sort of carbs everyone has. Thanks! :)

Personally I like to add frozen kale or spinach to my smoothies. If you have a good blender, you won't taste the greens at all. It's a great way to get some extra veggies.

Ummmm, never have like veggies, probably never will. I don't sweat it too much though, and I take my Multivitamin daily. I concentrate on getting all my Protein in and rarely have room for anything else. I do like most fruits, but only eat a bite or two. B)

Maybe a bit of a simplistic answer, but I've started buying the V8 splash. It's very tasty and gives you a serving of veggies/fruit with each cup. My kids even like it. Go figure. If I had bought it for them they would never touch it. But since it's mine they have decided that they would enjoy it as well.

I love veggies and fruits, but they don't play a big part in my diet now days. Typically for dinner I'll eat 2.5 - 3 oz of protein; red meat, chicken or my new favorite, grilled Cod or Haddock! Along with that I like to eat 1% cottage cheese, an eighth of a cup and then about that same amount of whatever veggie I've prepared. Some times we'll have two veggies. I was told to treat fruits as a 'treat' and I do. I'll usually eat something once or maybe twice a week. A small banana or apple, sometimes I go a few weeks and don't have any fruit, but that isn't abnormal, I did the same thing prior to surgery.

      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.
