Well we can make suggestions but something tells me you might be fussy with your fruits and vegetables (prejudice of men?  ). So you have to decide which ones you want to eat. Putting dried fruit in oatmeal and baked goods is easy, eating canned fruit and adding veggies like peas, green beans, cooked spinach will be the easiest to tolerate. It would be best to avoid raw veggies at first for sure (such as lettuce and tomato). If the only veggies you do like are ones that are harder for some people to handle or produce gas, well in my opinion it would be better to eat them than eating none at all. And some people tolerate veggies better than others. I eat asp, broc, cauli, leeks, tomatoes, eggplant, onions and scallions, artichokes etc without trouble. Try to cook your veggies well especially at first. Another thing to try would be adding brown or wild rice in with white rice. You can buy canned wild rice that is ready to go. And you might do better with putting veggies in pasta or rice than in eating them as a side dish but that isn't necessary. 
Let us know what the doctor says.
