Anyone not like fruits & vegetables?

[AshleyRN 0]

I was just wondering if there was anyone out there that had been banded and doesn't like many fruits or vegetables? The only vegetables I like are the starchy ones (peas, corn, & potatoes) and not many fruits. What are you eating after your Protein? I know they say to eat your protein first, then vegetables, but what if you don't really like any good fruits or vegetables? :thumbup: Thanks!

I was banded about 2 1/2 months ago. I used to be a meat and potatoes gal who never ate much veggies. Now I am finding that I like to try new veggies and fruit. Today I had a fresh peach and I can't remember EVER doing that before! I have been starting out with little things, maybe a slice of Tomato on a hamburger, or diced tomatoes in a small taco. Theres still lots I haven't tried but every trip to the store i look for something new to try. If I don't like it, I just wont buy it again.:biggrin2: The only thing I have found that disagrees with me is lettuce. For some reason that gives me diarrhea.:thumbup: Just start trying things and see what you like; you might like some things you thought you never would. Lots of people in here have said that after banding, their taste preferences changed. Its fun and exciting to find healthy stuff you actually like!

Most veggies (especially the green ones :present:) are not my friends :thumbup:. The only veggies I like are corn & potatoes and occasionally carrots (as long as they're not cooked) ... Although I try to steer clear of corn & potatoes these days because of their high carb count, sometimes I do allow myself maybe 1/4 - 1/2 Cup when I make them for my family. Another option of something to eat after your Protein is cottage cheese, if you like it. I find it goes well with beef or chicken and hey, it's more protein! :Banane34:
