Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts

[Kennalb 11]

Hi All,

I am a huge sugar addict but I also love roasted broccoli and brussels sprouts. Are these something I can eat in moderation after my surgery?

Thanks in advance.

You probably won't eat them for a couple months, but once you are on a normal diet..

I love that stuff too!

I'm 18 months out and am able to tolerate/enjoy both. I did wait until I was about 4 months out to introduce them back in to my diet.

Waited 2 months then went for Broccoli, the sprouts will be after 6 months.

I LOVE brussel sprouts! It's one of my favorite foods.

I introduced both Broccoli and Sprouts back into my diet around 10 weeks or so, I've had no problem tolerating either of them. I actually have not had any issues with any vegetables.

My new fav is Asparagus!!! Love it so much. We take it and put a little olive oil (if you don't have that any oil works) sprinkle it with oil, salt and pepper. Then we put parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake it in a single layer at 350 until slightly browned. It is yummy!! Kind of like popcorn can't stop once you start.

I've not tried broccoli, but I love Brussel sprouts. My nut said all vegetables were open game during mushy phase IF they were cooked to a mushy state. I found Green Giant steamer packs, when cooked about 5 minutes longer than recommended on label, produce a very nice and mushy Brussel sprout. I could tolerate them very well early on and it was in compliance with my NUT, so I felt good about them.
