Question: When did you start eating fruit?



Recommended Posts

I'm moving into my mushy/soft foods stage and I don't remember my doctor mentioning anything about fruit. I'm pretty sure citrus is out of the question and apples may be too hard but what about the softer fruits like grapes or bananas. I'm wondering if those would be ok. I'll call to ask my doctor but I was just curious if anyone has had any soft fruit(s) during this stage and how did your new stomach handle it.

At the soft food stage, all I could have was bananas and canned fruits (peaches, pears). Raw fruits and vegetables weren't allowed until I started my regular diet.

I had melon, strawberries, and mango during my soft food stage. Also tried a few bites of fresh peach and nectarine. My program's equivilant to the mushie stage (weeks 3-6), allowed all soft fruits, skin removed.

I could have banana, watermelon, cantalope, and soft canned fruit in lite Syrup week 4. No skins of any type until week 8. I ate my first apple at that time and it was heaven!! I did eat some grapes at week 5, but just sucked the juice out and spit the skins in the trash. 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.
