Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Depending on what you put in your salad, you can eat a big bowl of it. I did not see beets listed as an authorized food (high in sugar, and I doubt bacon bits or croutons are, but carrots are on the list, as are many salad veggies, such as tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumber, onions, green peppers, etc. Bill lists low-fat cheese as an authorized protein, but it's not the best choice. How many calories are in that dressing and how much do you use? The sugar and fat sound fine--just make sure you are only using a " serving " . > When making a salad, what is okay to put in it?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Salads When making a salad, what is okay to put in it? I usually have one salad a day with dinner, and it consists of shredded carrots and beets Are you sure they are beets and not red cabbage?? The cabbage would be better than beets.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I tell them at least two months out, but maybe longer. It is hard b/c everyone is so individualized according to what they can tolerate. L.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 We recommend waiting 6 to 8 weeks after surgery before starting raw vegetables/salad. For raw fruits, we let them start them 2 weeks after surgery, but insist they remove the tough skins. - Beth <jlewis@...> wrote: When do you allow RNY and AGB pt's have raw fruits and vegs?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have a patient who is 1 year post-op RNY who cannot tolerate grapes or blueberries as of 2 weeks ago. That doesn't make sense to me. She has been able to eat grapes and blueberries up till then. Also, within the past month cherries and kiwi have been making her throat feel like it is swelling. I have never heard of people developing allergic reactions to food after surgery. Has anyone heard of something like this?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 It may not be related to bariatric surgery. Her symptoms seem to fit the dx of “oral allergy syndrome”. If they are cooked, is the tolerance ok? Is she near menopause? She may also have a latex sensitivity? Does she eat bananas, avocado? Has she seen a board certified allergist?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 > > I am confused about what veggies we can have. The list includes a whole bunch of different salad greens. A lot of people mention eating salads. Are salads raw veggies or are you cooking them? +++Hi Doris. All of the veggies listed on the food list are okay. People who have digestive problems shouldn't eat raw veggies, but some people don't have bad digestion so they can eat them. > > My husband has almost agreed to give this a try. He wants to know how long before he can > have his salads, carrots and celery sticks again. He thinks he has been sick for 8 years with > spondilytis but I remember that he started having problems with eczema on his face when he > was 21. He is 46 now. He says there is no way of knowing if it had anything to do with > candida. +++This program is a healing program, which isn't just for candida. That's why I called my website Healing Naturally by Bee. So it improves anyone's health no matter the cause. Most people nowadays have been unhealthy since before birth. If your husband had eczema that long ago he would be well-advised to stay on the program long enough for his body to " retrace " and heal eczema, and even longer to heal any other diseases, symptoms, malfunctions, injuries he may have had previous to that time. > > My kids too are asking well how long before we can have fruit? +++Fructose is one of the worst types of sugar for the body. I'm just reading about that in Taubes book Good Calories, Bad Calories. Also Dr. Mercola has many articles about the dangers of fructose - search at www.mercola.com So even healthy people should only have small amounts, and they should always eat fruits with plenty of good fats to slow the release of them into the system. The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Bee, I know that you said that it is best to cook your vegetables. I like to have salads with Spinish lettuce, Red and green (raw) peppers toped with olive oil. Could this be causing constipation, also is it bad to eat these types of foods this way?

If you changed over to this diet too quickly it will cause constipation since it is more difficult to consume enough " good " fats, which are antifungal, so it takes time to get them up high enough. If you changed over too fast, you may need to backtrack and consume more carbs until you can consume enough good fats. If you have any digestive problems you should be eating only cooked vegetables since cooking breaks down the cell walls of plant foods so the nutrients are released and they are easier to digest.

No, it is okay to stir fry vegetables. No, you cannot overcook them - see the last section of this article, which describes how long you need to cook them (remember my website isn't just for candida sufferers so that's why fruits are in this article): http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
