Good morning! !! When is it OK to start eating cooked vegetables?

Thanks

Hi Marcela,

I hope you're doing well!

You can have pureed, well-cooked vegetables on the pureed foods stage, which starts at 2-4 weeks post-op. Examples: pureed cooked/canned peas, carrots, beets, and peeled zucchini. That's on page 2 of the diet guidelines I sent you.

On the semi-soft foods stage, which starts at 4-6 weeks post-op, you can add other soft-cooked vegetables (not fibrous or stringy; peeled). That's on page 3 of the diet guidelines I sent you.

On the full diet, at 6 or more weeks post-op, you can add other vegetables.

Hope that helps!

Awesome, Marcela! It's good to think ahead, like you are! And to ask questions, like you are!

What do you think about this menu?

That's great! Make sure your sweet potatoes are peeled and mashed well!
