Unable To Eat Veggies With Protein



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months out and cannot reliably eat more than a bite or two past 2-3 oz of Protein.

While I am taking many supplements, it would be nice to eat veggies again. They giving me throwing up, stuck and other related feelings. I would like to continue to consume 2-3 oz of Protein a meal to keep energy up and keep losing weight.

I typically have trouble with brocolli and string green Beans. Regular green Beans are OK if mushy enough. Have not tried salad yet.

Thanks for inputs.

My NUT told me to try eating 2 bites of Protein to 1 bite of veggies. It has worked well for me. You can always get extra protein in a shake.< /p>

Thanks, good idea. My NUT always says to finish the protein first and then eat vegetables if there is room. I typically only try and eat veggies for one meal a day, at dinner time.

I like celery with Peanut Butter, chicken salad with a little bit of celery, and onions, or tuna on letcus. I also try to make Soups or different things that i can incorporate vegetables or fruits into my meals. scrambled egg with added veggies, Protein Shake made with frozen fruit or vegetable.

You can have celery!!!??? I was told never again!

I'm jealous! You don't have issues with it! I was told our tummies can't break down the strings!

I didn't know we had trouble with stringy veggies. That could explain the trouble I am having with string Beans.

I haven't had corn, celery, and some I can't even remember. But my string Beans I way overcook to get them very mushy-

But yeah- I was told no celery- ever- and no corn for a long time. I think I'm okay with that tho. Celery I do miss!!!!

I keep hearing people say they have a sleeve of steel - apparently that is me. No one told me not to eat celery. In fact, I was told that was for lap banders. But I was told it might take a bit of time to tolerate stringy foods and to be patient. I was eating celery by two months, no problem. Everyone is different, our docs all seem to have different advice...

I am almost 6 weeks out and there isn't anything I cannot eat as of yet... I had my first salad last Saturday and it was GOOD... I eat a lot of shrimp because it is high in Protein. I guess I have been lucky... I think the bottom line to whatever it is that you are eating is CHEWING, SPEED, and SPICE.... Not enough chewing and it hurts. Eat too fast and it hurts. Eat anything too spicy and you will suffer for it, at least this early anyway...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
