1st fill: When can I eat raw vegetables?



Recommended Posts

I just had my first fill and am confused. I will be on liquids and then mushy foods for a few days. After that the doctor said I can go to dry foods. I was wondering when I could eat raw vegetables and if some cause problems more than others.

I love to snack on raw vegetables, but now, after having my 3rd fill, those are pretty much a thing of the past. Too hard. Carrots are the worst.

If you want to eat raw carrots grate them.If you eat them in chunks you could get stuck so badly that it requires an unfill - I know a number of people this has happened to.

If i remember correctly, i was allowed raw veggies after 3 months. When you eat them be sure to chew very well...I regularly eat baby carrots but I make absolutely sure that I chew them to death so they don't get stuck.

We got thru phases at differing rates. It took about a year before I was brave enough to try such as carrots, cauliflower or brocoly in the raw. You will learn how to do such as the right time. In the meanwhile, steamed and soft is good.

what else is on your list of cant eat? I think my band is at a perfect restriction but I dont know what I should stay away from. I found today that deep dish pizza crust is a no no, and toast is out. I didnt know this about these vegetables.

I am at restriction and was allowed raw veggies when I was back on solids. I have baby carrots everyday for lunch though I dip them in hummus.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
