Hello, Bee26840.

That must have been awful and scary. You could still try to eat your vegetables by peeling the zucchini and cooking the fleshy part. You could also peel and spiralize it and eat it like spaghetti, but remember to steam or microwave it well. Chew everything very thoroughly. Don't eat any vegetable raw for now. Don't eat any of the skin. The tomato and eggplant have seeds so that likely contributed to your blockage.

Can you try eating squash?  Leave the skin on, slice in half lengthwise, olive oil the inside, place it cut side down on parchment paper on a roasting pan and roast until soft. Scoop out cooked squash, sprinkled with cinnamon or olive oil, salt. Or cook all the veggies that you like and blend it into a hot or cold soup with yoghurt or turmeric on top. Basically break down all your veg as much as possible before it reaches your intestines. Pan fry slices of firm tofu with store bought sauce. I eat sautéed tofu with peanut sauce but that will not work for you right now because of the nuts, you'll have to avoid nuts and seeds for awhile. Good luck.
