Mush Stage, Blended Fruit Okay?

[Cmullinvegas 39]

I have been tolerating Protein Shakes, but getting so sick of them. I'm trying different kinds but each is worse than the next. I would like to do some of eggface's Protein Shake recipes. I'm on mush, can I put the fruit in my food processor and add it in my Protein shake? I don't want to use it as a meal but a way to get those Protein Drinks down.

My nutritionist says fruit with any kinds of seed or any that is acidic is off limits for weeks (can't remember the exact amount right now). Acidic fruit may not be tolerated bu the tummy and the small seeds like most berries have can get caught in the suture line.

I am starting my fourth week. Wanted to try peaches, strawberries, cherries, and pineapple. Each recipe has very little. Maybe I could try peaches or cherries then, no seeds and not acidic right?

At 4 weeks you may be okay. It seems the number of weeks was three. I'll check my stuff and repost. Oh, the other thing she said was the skin is also hard on our new tummies. I will get back to you in a few.

Just read it. It says avoid all fruit exct for bananas for 6 weeks. I'd say to proceed with caution if you try it.

Try some different extracts. banana extract, peppermint extract, cherry, etc. There are a lot of them out there and I saw a recommendation somewhere that they helped with flavoriing things.

Aww man, hate bananas. Thanks Amy.

I can put carrots in the blender right?

Mine stuff says no raw veggies until 6 weeks out too. Sorry! I have a link to another surgeons site that I will try and find and post to see what that doctor says. It seems there are so many thoughts and opinions from all the professionals.

Okay, here it is.

I have no idea what it says. It is detailed though so it may be useful for you.

Thanks Amy, I'll check this out.
