Cooked vegetables without a chewy skin? Which veggies are ok?



Recommended Posts

I'm about to start week 3 of my post op diet -- Puree/soft regular diet. My paper says, "cooked vegetables without a chewy skin--most canned work well. Green non-starchy vegetables." So, which vegetables can I try? Green Beans?

Green Beans and peas were hard for me. I used carrots, cauliflower and even broccoli. I just made sure those first few weeks they were cooked very well to almost mushy.

You can do that with green Beans and it works fairly well too but the peas were a little rough for me. I love them now but in the beginning it was a little tougher.

I think the first puréed veggie I had was carrots and yum!

Thank you for the advice @Djmohr. I don't like peas so no worry there. I'll try carrots first!

      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?
