veggie skins?



Recommended Posts

I was noticing alot of these mushy stage recipies have Beans in the Soups or onions. I would think the skin from the beans wouldnt do well even with chewing. Also the onion tends to be pretty fiberous. I had a tomatoe bisque and because of the tiny pieces of tomatoe I was afraid of the skin getting stuck so I would spit them out. It also had tiny bits of basil chopped. What about seasonings? I mean besides s&p. Or am I being too paranoid? I havent had a fill and am going on 15 days post op.

I am almost six weeks out an eat chili and refried Beans with no problem. Tomatoes are OK along with small well chewed salad with onions. I have pretty good restriction. I got my first fill last week and am very happy. Good luck. Everyone is individual in how they can handle certain foods. I can have small amounts of bread and rice isn't a problem either. SS

Only way to know is if you try to eat them.

For a long time, I had no problem with asparagus which was one of the specific taboo veggies on my doc's list. But in the past month or so I have somethin weird happen. I eat the asparagus, and after each piece, I spit up the fiberous part. Only the fiberous part. It's like the rest went down, but these pieces wouldn't. And it doesn't make me slime or hurt, I just burp up strings.

Oh FF, I just got a mental image of you pulling strings out of your mouth like a clown pulling handkerchiefs, or a dental floss dispenser.:thumbup:

It's a sickness I have, really it is. My mind just works in such a bizarre way.

      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.
