first veggies



Recommended Posts

This site is so massive. I have spent almost two hours trying to find the thread, article or blog or whatever it was about adding your first veggies that I saw before. I remember it being something like a list of ideas or recipes with veggies when you first are able to add them back in to your diet. Does anyone happen to know where that might be found? Thanks!

You want to choose veggies that are non-fibrous (no asparagus stems, broccoli stems, spinach, lettuce, etc) or that have tough husks or skins (corn, tomatoes). When you do cook a veggie, cook it to soft stage and CHEW WELL.

Thanks, Terry. I kind of get what I am not supposed to eat. I was hoping to find some ideas about what to eat. I have kind of exhausted the V-8 and canned veggies, and I will be happy to move into the next phase of mushies. I know I saw a thread or article like this, but I can't find it now ;(

      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.
