I love to be able to crunch on something.  So I thought, mini baby carrotts would be perfect! Not so. After an hour of the mini baby carrotts, my stomach was griping in pain, for hours later. then I was running to the bathroom.   

Anyone else able to do raw veggies?

I haven't had surgery yet.  But I get IBS with stress and do know that steamed veggies are easier to digeste than raw ones.  I'd stream them for now until your more healed maybe.

I didn't eat raw veggies until about 8weeks out.  I still do not eat them to often now.

I can eat raw veggies but just not too many of them. An hour's worth of munching seems like a lot of baby carrots and this could be why your tummy rebelled. Maybe give them another try - just eat them slowly and maybe not so many Hope this helps.

IMO it is a little early for raw carrots.  You might try cucumbers.  I've just recently added a little raw apple and carrot and I'm 3 months out.

I cannot to carrots well I still eat them but the make me very bloated and end up coming back up on me, but I still eat them.  Maybe 5 in 30 minutes other then that I can eat another raw veggies.  Now I also get sick on egg yokes and pickles never did before.

I wasn't allowed raw veggies or nuts until 3 months post-op. I avoided carrots and corn like the plague during my losing stage.
