Your surgeon or bariatrician should have given you a diet progression.  Follow their recommendations to the letter if you wish to maximize your success.

I was careful beginning raw veggies but some are easier to tolerate than others. Avoid unpeeled veggies (like unpeeled cucumber slices or tomato peels). Chew very thoroughly.

I would begin with something like avocado, seeded and peeled cucumber slices, blanched green beans, and the tender (non stringy) part of a celery heart. Take tiny, tiny bites.

But overall - be careful and follow your doctor's recommendation.
