I'm 4 weeks post op and I love fresh vegetables but the no longer love me! I tried cauliflower rice and one bite really made me bloated! Tried zoodles and same thing! I can eat canned veggies, but I was hoping to find out if anyone else had this problem!

Raw veggies were off my plan until 8 weeks post op. Hopefully in another month or two they will agree with you. I was about 12 weeks out before introducing them with any regularity. So there is still hope!

Yes Raw Vegies are a no no for me too until 8 weeks.

Yeah raw veggies were introduced for me week 8. And honestly? There are some I still struggle with at four years out. Cruciferous (broccoli, cauliflower) and carrots namely. They are hit and miss for me even cooked. I couldn't do any of them raw or cooked for more than a year.

Agree. You're too early for veggies. Wait another month or so. And when you try them again you need to chew them well even if they're soft to help get rid of the bloat feeling.

I just had my my first salad a week ago and will be three months post op tomorrow. I was not a salad fanatic previously but ate them. OMG! I enjoyed it SO much. It took me two days to eat it but it was awesome! I had spring mix, baby kale greens, tomatoes, cucumber kalamata olives, pickled beets, banana peppers, bread and butter pickles, crispy onions, salad toppings, Bacon, cheese, crushed croutons, and Blue Cheese dressing. I get a couple of pieces of everything and cut it up onto the lettuce leaves.

Thanks everybody! I didn't realize fresh veggies were off until 8 weeks! I haven't eaten them since!
