The diet sheet my NUT have me is very unclear about when I can have uncooked veggies, salad etc. When were you given the green light on veggies. I'm not in any hurry to push it, but I am looking forward to eating a carrot

I met with the nut today, she said three week from surgery you can have veggies... They must be well cooked she did mention carrots, cauliflower and broccoli florets only the florets

yep, that's the same as my guidelines. I'm wondering more about uncooked veggies and salad. The nutrition sheet is very detailed in the first three weeks and then lacking beyond week 4. It doesn't mention anything about meats like chicken breast, pork or steak either.

I left my sheet in the car but I'm positive she said meat in the third week... The meat she mention was ground turkey, dark meat chicken, she said white meat would be too dry at this point... She said you could have white meat chicken but only if you did something to make it more moist, I'm not a good cook so I'll have to research some ideas on that one lol

I would wait until you are cleared for all foods, and even then carefully try one new raw vegetable at a time.

I just saw my NUT today, and she said about six weeks out for salad.

I'm two weeks out and my list just says "well cooked, simple" vegetables. Not sure what "simple" means so I'm waiting until I meet with her on Thursday!

The first vegetables I ate were the single serve green Beans you put in the microwave (green giant?).

My nut was very specific- once cleared for general diet (bypass here) start a new veggie cooked, then try partially cooked, then go to raw. One new veggie at a time- like we introduce babies to foods. If you find you're ok with partially cooked but not raw, back off of that one raw for awhile. You can try it again later. It becomes trial and error.

First non-canned veggie I ate that wasn't spinach was grilled asparagus. Go figure! Went down and stayed down fine.

Took me a while to get up the nerve to try lettuce- began with the shreds- just a little one day, increased over the next few days. Now I'm golden with it and turn everything I eat into a lettuce wrap when I can!!!

Edited to add- I WANT radishes but am still chicken to try them!
