I am going into the pureed stage tomorrow and wonder which non-starchy veggies I should use? Should I also stay away from fibrous veggies?

I used anything and puréed it. It wasn't a problem. I would get a bag of mixed veg, cook, season and then purée.

All I ate was Mashed Potatoes... Although I think that's a starchy vegetable. It stayed down though.

Do you have a NUT at your doctor office? All veggies are not on the pureed/soft stage. ie, mine include carrots, squash, potatoes. But most other veggies are not til regular foods on my plan. You do need to start adding starches though.

Hi, I'm just cooking and freezing purees right now. My nutritionist basically said if you can puree it it's fine.

I'm trying to make things as nutrient rich as possible - using organic beef, fish and chicken (plus homemade broth of each) and cooking with lots of vegetables. So far I'm using (and apologies, I'm in the UK and I know we call vegetables different things):

Onions
Peppers/Capsicum
Garlic
Courgette/Zucchini
Tomatoes (sieved)
Mushrooms
Fennel
Carrots
Squash
Butter beans
Green beans

The purees I'm making are very fine textured and while I cook with a wide variety of herbs and spices I'm careful not to use anything that has hard seeds (so no fennel or caraway seeds and sieving the tomatoes) as I imagine that could be an irritant at the healing stage.

My philosophy on all of this is that, if I'm eating very small amounts of things they should be bloody tasty and good for me!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
