Has anyone eaten watermelon while they were on the soft solid stage? How well were you able to digest it? I am really craving watermelon especially on these hot muggy days... I know obviously I would have to have it seedless ...

thanks!! :-)

Depending on whether you had lap band or Roux en Y, the watermelon may cause dumping syndrome due to the sugar in the watermelon.

I didn't try while on the mushy food stage....I guess if you blended or smushed it you could try. I love watermelon as it is a great fruit without a skin!

I actually have trouble eating much watermelon. It's quite fibrous, and I don't usually think of watermelon in terms of Fiber. I'm on a regular band diet, not mushies.

I hear ya....I have issues with seedy berries and things like oranges with those fibres. Also, apples if they're not peeled!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
