Green Beans aren't really Beans and neither are "bad". I love green beans and black beans and pinto beans and butter beans! How far out are you? I wasn't good at veggies for a long time and at a little over a year out, I'm not that great at them now.

<p>Not at all. I have a slight stricture so I am unable to eat as much as some people can. I love a chopped salad or a few bites of veggies, but then I have no room for anything else. I need my Protein first.</p>

.

What is that a slight stricture maybe I should have gotten that along with my sleeve!!! LOL!!

I'm 4 months po and down 105 from my highest weight and 74 from my weight right before surgery. I wasn't cleared by my Dr to have veggies, especially raw ones until I was 3 months po. The first month I could only have Protein Shakes and other fluids. Only after that I could start with a scrambled egg and other soft foods for 2 additional weeks and then anything I want after that point. From my experience once I started actually eating again my weight loss slowed down. I dropped 34 lbs the first month. I still focus on Protein first and if I can a bite or 2 of veggies. If I can't get them in at meal time I will have a couple baby carrots for a snack in the evening. I think u are doing great on your weight loss so far. Like my Dr says and repeatedly tries to beat into my head, "you didn't gain the weight over night so you're not going to lose it over night either". I average now between 14-18 lbs a month which he says is average.

What veggies is everyone eating I've been doing green Beans but some ppl say Beans are bad some say beans is ok what's y'all's opinion?

I am four weeks out, and still doing purees. I have found that cooked carrots are great (I can make them SUPER mushy). Also VERY well cooked squash and zucchini (peeled). I haven't heard any restrictions on green beans from my doctor. I tried baby food green beans and couldn't stand the taste. I'm concerned I may be too early to try real green beans and that my stomach can't yet handle the fibrous outside.
