Fruit Cravings?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 14 days ago, no hunger for food, but craving oj and fruits like strawberries, mangos, oranges, pineapples, etc. when can I eat them again? I miss my fruits!i tried strawberry frozen yogurt, it was yummy and the first solidish food I could get down, then freaked when I realized it had seeds in it still :(

Can't say I recomend it, but I had 1/2 of an orange/mango smoothie from Starbucks in the airport on the way home from surgery. That was about 72hrs post op, and I had no problems with it at all. Except it almost killed me to throw away 1/2 of a $6 smoothie

I usually have 4 oz or so of v8 fusion whenever I have a fruit craving. It has a veggies and fruit in it so a lil more nutritious than just plain juice but it's also really good.

Ashlee,

Darlin you want to be careful only 2 weeks out. You are still healing and acid, skin, seeds and strings from the fruit can cause issues as I understand it (folks here have posted about things like Bezors - i think it is like a fur ball type thing from the strings of pineapple/celery). IMO if you have a craving for fruit, take a little juice, Water it down and sip. You should be on mushies and moving along basically foods that will drop off a spoon so that your sleeve can heal. Please follow your specific nut/doc guidelines for food items different docs have different requirements.

Best to you in your journey,

Sandy

Im behind where I should be due to complications. I was jw about others' diets. I know I wouldn't be able to anyway if I were on schedule as I've had pretty bad reflux.

Anybody else hesitant to eat fruit because of the carb and sugar content? Sometimes I want to but I feel so bad to have carbs/sugar. :/

I say if you are gonna have carbs fruit is the way to go.. However you really need to wait until your cleared. I didn't get to eat fruits until stage 3. When I did crave fruit I did drink juice, but that really didn't do the trick as the juices were just way to sweet.

When did you get to stage 3? I'm 3 months out I don't really eat much fruits/veggies at all mainly cuz I don't have room tho.

My surgeon doesn't do the stage 1 so I was discharged on mushies. So I was on stage 3 6 weeks out. I don't have much room for fruit either, if I see that I'm good with my Protein. I will allow one of my Snacks to be a piece of fruit. But I rarely get to eat it, because I usually need all my room for protein.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
