Question to Post-OPs Vegtable Haters!

Hello again! I wanted to know if any of you out there have a problem with eating vegtables. Not a physical problem, just hating the way they taste (pre-op). Ever since I was young I absolutely HATE veggies. I was told by friends that with the correct supplements I could do just fine after surgery.(I'm still Pre-op) Please let me know if any of you have this issue! PLEASE...do not tell me to just eat them!! I have had so many people say, "well you just have to find one you like" OR " you have to find a way to cook them how you like" PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THIS! (friendly anger) I have had sooooo many people do that. I just get so violently ill when I try to eat them. I automatically vomit. If any one has any suggestions or related problem please let me know! This has been bothering me so much. I have no choice but Bariatric surgery or I feel I will be dead by the time I am 30 years old of my comorbidities. Please help! Thanks! Kim

Hi Kimberley, I take a supplement by Andrew Lessman [name of website is- yourvitamins]called Green Foods just for this reason...I don't eat but once a week and when I do its usually chicken or fish only....I have been drinking protein drinks well over a year. I did loose 15 lbs this past Aug...but nothing before or after that time. I have surgery on Feb 8.

Kim, I am 9 months out and my wife is 27 months out, and we hardly ever eat vegetables. We have to take vitamins, and we have always been told to get protein first, so that's what we concentrate on. I could not tell you the last time we cooked vegetables. Good luck.

Point taken, I'm keeping my opinions to myself this time!

Personally I have not had a problem with veggies, I do like them. But I am like Steve. I concentrate on protien first, I then have some carbs and veggies. That is not an issue with me. I have found out though that I still tend to stay away from the foods I did not eat prior to surgery since surgery. I could probably eat some of them now but not really interested in trying. Like green peppers would always give me heart burn. Since my lower stomach is separated, I would not have the reflux, but still unwilling to try.
