Why can't I have my fruit & veggies too?

I absolutely love fresh fruit and veggies, especially since I had my surgery (open RNY) in Dec. My husband and I are contantly arguing. I get my protein and vitamins every day, but I still love to eat my fruits and veggies. He had surgery in Dec. also. He keeps telling me they are just filler and I need to stop. I don't really eat when he tries to make me alot of eat meat. He says that is why I am losing at such a fast rate. I have more energy than ever and I now feel great. So can give me any ideas how to convince him it is fine? My blood work came back great so I am not lacking any where. Hugs, Lori

Hi Lori, There is nothing wrong with eating healthy balanced meals. We need to eat more than just meat if we expect to get and stay healthy. Fruit and veggies are a very important part of a healthy diet. They supply vitamins and minerals. They are a good source of healthy carbs, that we need for energy. I eat Fruit and veggies everyday as part of a healthy well balanced meal. Do you have a nutritionist? Maybe the two you can talk with her/him together. Man cannot live on meat alone. Take care. God bless, Annette

i don't agree with your husband. who am i?.... nobody! ask your nutritionist.
