Celery question



Recommended Posts

When I was preop, I made chicken Soup. I strained the chicken, onion, carrots and celery out so I could have the broth for preop and postop. I puréed the chicken and veggies together for the purée stage, which I'm clear to start on Monday. At the first bite class I attended, the NUT said to stay away from celery because it's hard to digest. Do you think it would be ok to have the purée I made since the celery was first boiled in the soup and then puréed with the chicken, carrots and onion?

Try it and you will find out.....It is hard to digest but I really don't think you will have any trouble with it..

Funny though...my daughter made 3 different broths for me and took the veggies and did what you did...I had tons of it in my freezer....Didn't touch any of it...My sleeve was so sensitive at the time and now 9 months later if anyone mentions broth or liquids like Protein shakes I nearly go insane.....

For you..if you are up to it......Try it and you will know almost right away!

all the best!

I would say yes. I think they celery is hard to digest because its stringy, but if its cooked and pureed it should be fine. I ate some celery in Soup at about 3 weeks post op. It was cooked really soft, and I didn't have any problems.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
