I am going into the pureed stage tomorrow and wonder which non-starchy veggies I should use? Should I also stay away from fibrous veggies?

I used anything and puréed it. It wasn't a problem. I would get a bag of mixed veg, cook, season and then purée.

All I ate was Mashed Potatoes... Although I think that's a starchy vegetable. It stayed down though.

Do you have a NUT at your doctor office? All veggies are not on the pureed/soft stage. ie, mine include carrots, squash, potatoes. But most other veggies are not til regular foods on my plan. You do need to start adding starches though.

Hi, I'm just cooking and freezing purees right now. My nutritionist basically said if you can puree it it's fine.

I'm trying to make things as nutrient rich as possible - using organic beef, fish and chicken (plus homemade broth of each) and cooking with lots of vegetables. So far I'm using (and apologies, I'm in the UK and I know we call vegetables different things):

Onions
Peppers/Capsicum
Garlic
Courgette/Zucchini
Tomatoes (sieved)
Mushrooms
Fennel
Carrots
Squash
Butter beans
Green beans

The purees I'm making are very fine textured and while I cook with a wide variety of herbs and spices I'm careful not to use anything that has hard seeds (so no fennel or caraway seeds and sieving the tomatoes) as I imagine that could be an irritant at the healing stage.

My philosophy on all of this is that, if I'm eating very small amounts of things they should be bloody tasty and good for me!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
