Does anyone have problems eating watermelon or honeydew ? Most of the time that I eat it, I throw it right back up. More so in the evening. Sometimes in midday it is ok. Thanks for your comments.

Sometimes. It can be fibrous. You have to chew teeny bites.

I have only tried to eat a little bit and it filled me up rather quickly, but almost all fruit does that to me, especially peaches, weird huh!

The ONLY food that I have problems with is cantalope! How weird is that! It just comes up in my mouth like a foam.

I really hope when I get banded I don't have problems with fruit because I really do enjoy eatting all of them. Either way I am going to try to incorporate it in my lifestyle after being banded. Even if I have to make smoothies out of it, LOL

I think it is a problem not because it is fibrous but it is slippery or slimy. That means it is impossible to chew properly and you may inadvertently swallow a piece that is bigger than you should have. Other summer fruits such as peaches and nectarines can also cause the same kind of problems.

Everyone is different...I still have fresh fruit every morning at Breakfast...melons, especially cantaloupe are my favorites.

I have tolerated all fruits well from the pureed stage and on...you do need to be aware to chew the fruit well...

I can eat it if I chew good. Another banded friend throws it up. I can't always eat eggs, she can. Our bands sometimes have a mind of their own lol!!!!

      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.
