4 weeks post op-best veges to start with

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Hi all. I’m four weeks since my sleeve on 7/10. I’m technically in the puréed stage for another week. I haven’t been eating veges because I’m not sure which are lower in carbs. Been sticking to chicken tuna egg salad yogurt cottage cheese. Things like that. Can anyone tell me which vegetables are considered the best to eat without risking gaining weight? I know they’re to be eaten after the Protein.

Generally limit ( or omit) the starchy vegetables like:

• Beets
• Carrots
• Corn
• Green Peas
• Parsnips
• Plantain
• Pumpkin
• Sweet Potatoes
• Taro
• White Potatoes
• Winter Squash, such as acorn or butternut squash
• Yams

The same can be said about starchy fruits to avoid:

The most starchy fruits are plantain, banana and dried fruits such as figs, raisins and dried apricots.

Essentially they turn into sugars--which we dont eat a lot of anymore.
