Broccoli and cauliflower are pretty tough to eat early on no matter what you do with them. Especially if it becomes a "golden" morsel. Everyone has a different experience but I certainly would not advise it. What does their NUT say?

NO! First of all, it's not a soft food. Second, I very much doubt the GI tract could handle that gassy roughage that soon after surgyer.

Agree with rte837. The Fiber, even if you purée, could be a problem.

They can try one and see how it goes. As long as it is mushy it might work. (The tough stem is a no-go, but the tender top might be ok).

Starchy Beans are also full of fiber but they squish down nice and smooth, so they usually work well.

No they are not considered soft foods just because they may be soft when you eat them! Too much roughage for your new pouch! They were listed on my regular solid food stage.

I could have cooked veggies after a week and I often had broccoli. No problems. I could eat maybe one floret, so it's really not that much roughage. I'd cook them and they be pretty soft. My program went from liquids for a week to the ability to eat soft foods after one week (eggs, tuna, tofu, cooked veg, etc). My team encouraged cooked veg.

      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.
