Tomorrow I am cleared to eat anything. What veggies did you eat first?

Zucchini sounds great! I was maybe going to sauté some spiralized zucchini. Thanks [emoji4]



Sauteed zucchini was the first veggie I tried. I sauteed it with a little olive oil and some light fresh herbs. It was delicious

I don't remember when I actually started more veggies, but it was early on. I was cleared for all foods about 3-4 weeks. Up until that time, my nut approved of my "green bombs" in Protein Shakes, which were ice cubes sized blended green veggies and fruits, that were blended in to my drinks. So technically, I had veggies from the get go. Didn't bother me at all. Now I do recall having salad early on, didn't bother me either.

That is good to know. I love your green bomb idea!

I've learned the more you eat Beans the better your tolerance. I eat them all the time and don't have issues with gas. Kind of the same but off topic, peanut tolerance...there was a study done that if you start your kids early on with peanuts during infancy (obviously a safe way to introduce it), those kids have built a tolerance of them. It's all very interesting actually.

I eat all kinds of beans and lentils and don't have problems. That is interesting about Peanut Butter.

I had sautéed zucchini noodles with spaghetti sauce. It was good.

Mashed sweet potatoes! I missed them so much. I couldn't add butter or brown sugar, but I did add cinnamon. They were delicious!....All 4 bites of them!

I made roasted sweet potatoes with black Beans and chimichuri sauce- I didn't eat much but loved them. Mashed sweet potatoes sound great too!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
