  • Broccoli and cauliflower are pretty tough to eat early on no matter what you do with them. Especially if it becomes a "golden" morsel. Everyone has a different experience but I certainly would not adv

  • NO! First of all, it's not a soft food. Second, I very much doubt the GI tract could handle that gassy roughage that soon after surgyer.

  • They can try one and see how it goes. As long as it is mushy it might work. (The tough stem is a no-go, but the tender top might be ok). Starchy beans are also full of fiber but they squish down

Agree with rte837. The fiber, even if you purée, could be a problem.

They can try one and see how it goes. As long as it is mushy it might work. (The tough stem is a no-go, but the tender top might be ok).

Starchy beans are also full of fiber but they squish down nice and smooth, so they usually work well.

No they are not considered soft foods just because they may be soft when you eat them! Too much roughage for your new pouch! They were listed on my regular solid food stage.

I could have cooked veggies after a week and I often had broccoli. No problems. I could eat maybe one floret, so it's really not that much roughage. I'd cook them and they be pretty soft. My program went from liquids for a week to the ability to eat soft foods after one week (eggs, tuna, tofu, cooked veg, etc). My team encouraged cooked veg.

I'm almost a month post and I don't eat anything other than soup sometimes not even that cause everything makes me vomit
