Sorry for the mundane question but what about strawberries at 2 1/2 months post surgery? I have been concerned about the little seeds in strawberries but they look really good at the local farmers market. Are strawberries safe at this point of time? Thanks.

Good question. I would think by 2 1/2 months out you should be okay. But no expert as I am only 2 weeks out.

according to the information given to me by my Dr I should be able to start adding most any food in at around 8 weeks. Now tolerating them may be a totally different situation.

I've been eating a bite of strawberry here and there since about 4 weeks... my daughter LOVES them so I'm always cutting them up for her and we have a produce market that gives free samples of everything they sell :D Needless to say now that a trip there to get fruit/veggies provides me an entire meal! But I digress... I can't imagine 2+ months out wouldn't be a good time for a strawberry or two! Enjoy!

I eat them all the time. I can't eat a lot of them, they don't slide on thru like watermelon. They won't hurt anything. Watch for acid, tho. Enjoy!

      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.
