I am so frustrated and confused help! I am almost 3 weeks post op and i am supposed to start transitioning to solid foods by wednesday. I've already tried chicken and salmon and didn't have any problems. However, I work in home health so I am in a car all day. I bought a cooler to bring with me but I am struggling to figure out what the heck I'm supposed to eat for veggies. I just bought a lot of them to eat raw such as carrots, broccoli, and celery and I'm starting to doubt that I can eat those yet? I haven't had any fills yet. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I dont really have any problems with veggies but make sure you are focusing on your Protein first. Feel free to join my recipe group on Facebook by friending me at hely lb. I have a lot of snack ideas high protein that may help you. Best of luck.

I only know that my doctor tells me the habit of Grazing is bad no matter what you eat.

I have gotten stuck on broccoli that was steamed just a bit. No other veggies have bothered me, but I tend to eat them cooked. I have found roasted veggies are delicious.

Thanks for your replies! I don't graze at least not so far. Yesterday I brought some raw carrot sticks to eat for lunch along with some tuna I ate. I didn't eat very many but I chewed thoroughly and didn't have any issues. But again I have no Fluid in my band and wonder if that will change once I get fills.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
