Susan, check the recipe board. You'll find all kinds of great veggie recipes there.
When I began incorporating veggies into my diet, I did it very slowly by throwing my faves into home made stock. Veggie soup is magnificent! With some fresh sourdough bread? YUMMMMM.
Raw veggies are really tough on the tummy; I frankly wouldn't go near them, not even now that I'm stable. No way. Hubby loves jicama, and he's always chomping away, asking me if I'd like a bite. I don't think so!!
However, I will go for a salad. There was a time when I couldn't; I'd have terrible D and cramps before getting home from the salad bar. Now I know how to do it, and it doesn't bother me. This is what you do: first, take an Equalactin. (There have been MILLIONS of posts about this incredible stuff on the Boards, so you can do a search if you want, if you've never heard of it -- it's a must have!) Take the Equalactin on your way into the restaurant. Then go up to the salad bar and fix your faves. Pass on the fresh raw broccoli; too tough to digest! (Damn.) Maybe a few fresh peas though -- but not too many. And by all means, stop by the bread counter! Then go to your table and chomp away on the BREAD FIRST. Then enjoy your fresh salad. Yum.
Oh, BTW, be sure to use the low-fat dressing, if available. At Izzie's they don't have such a thing, so I have a little of the regular dressing -- but just a little, just enough for a taste.
Sometimes I even have another Equalactin AFTER my meal. Just as a security blanket.
Works every time.
I hope this helps.
Bev
