Zucchini and squash
Really it depends on your surgeon's plan.
I have loved steamed squash and Nik's Taco Casserole with squash and zukes ( www.bariatricfoodie.com )

What does your surgeon's plan say? I was on soft foods after two weeks, so I could have cooked veggies then.

I'm approved for soft cooked veggies and fruits and was told that zucchini and summer squash were okay, but that winter squashes (butternut, acorn, buttercup, patty pan etc.) were not okay, as they have too much starch to be considered a true veggie. (My nutritionist classifies them in the "starch" category, rather than the "veggie" category.) The same goes for peas and corn.
