Vegetables And Fruit



Recommended Posts

I think you can eat most fruits and vegetables. I was told not to eat onions, avocado and a couple others. But I have trouble with fruits and veg, so don't eat enough. I think I will have to start making smoothies or something to get them in!

I have a hard time with oranges, lettuce, and asparagus. Everything else seems okay for me.

Oh, asparagus was another I wasn't supposed to eat (but have). The one I cannot eat is bean sprouts, no matter what they are in. I guess it's the shape or texture....I always get really stuck when I eat them.

I am just curious as to why you can't eat onions and avacados? Did your doctor tell you this?

Anything! I struggle with fresh fruit though, i never particularly liked it begore banding and now its extremely rare that i will eat it. Love the flavour, love having. Big healthy fruit bowl on my bench but just dont enjoy eating it and it blocks me up. I figure the vegies are tho most important nd i eat those, but i think with a band everyone falls short. Having had bowel cancer i relly want to get my fruit and veg i. So i tend to make a lt of green smoothies and Soups. The smoothies i tend to make with vanilla Optifast, of course you could use Protein Powder. Theres recipes all over the net.

I stay away from raw carrots. I had to learn the hard way. Most everything else is fine...chew, chew, chew!

Yes it was in the information I received after. Also it said about the asparagus. My only guess is the texture. Asparagus and onions can be stringy....not sure about avocado except maybe it gets stuck easier? Thinking on this, they recommend dogs don't eat these things either...lol

Haha! I've never heard that about the dogs, lol. I don't eat asparagus, but I imagine it would be harder to get down. I love avocado! It's pretty soft, so I can't imagine it getting stuck easily. Maybe you were told not to eat it because it's fattening? They are higher in fat, but it's a good fat.

I agree, I love avocados and don't mind the healthy fats!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
