When I went through the TWH program, we were not allowed the vegetables, but allowed broth (low calorie and sodium).

Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!

I am having my surgery at TEGH next week. The programme I am in is run by TWH. No veggies. Broth and sugar free Jello.

If you have the binder for the TWH programme - look at pg. 64 - 65 for details. Here's a pdf of same: http://www.uhn.ca/PatientsFamilies/Health_Information/Health_Topics/Documents/Eating_for_Health_after_Gastric_Bypass_Surgery.pdf
