Fruit Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I like cantaloupe, watermelon, apples (no skin yet), pineapple (canned). All have been fine for me as long as I chew, chew, chew.

Almost forgot.... I put sliced strawberries and other frozen berries (no sugar) in my greek yogurt nearly every day.

Bananas, mangos ,blueberries, any kind of melon, haven't had any fruit my sleeve can't tolerate. Be careful with skins and seeds and you should be fine.

Mango is my absolute favorite right now! my sleeve does not make a peep when i eat that :) And it does not take much to satisfy me.

I'm starting my 7th week and so far I still can't eat sugar without having a terrible bathroom experience. If anyone else has had that problem, do you have the same reaction with fruit? My post-op diet says I can have fruit, but I'm scared to try.

I've had watermelon, honeydew, cantalope. My sleeve tells me to have only a couple of pieces on the honeydew & cantalope and about 5 pieces on the watermelon. I've also had strawberries but only 2 cut in half.

Forgot to mention... I tried grapes (green ones) too but could only eat 4 or 5 (chewing, chewing, chewing) at one time.

I'll be 10 weeks Monday... I have strawberries regularly- with greek yogurt, on a Breakfast tortilla pizza, in pancake bites (thanks EggFace). I bought some red seedless grapes last week and had no problem... until I logged them on MFP and realized how sugary they were. I've also put peaches in yogurt. I've done bananas in shakes and on breakfast pizzas. I've made a few recipes with pineapple, haven't had it by itself. At 4 weeks out I had some watermelon. I haven't had really any problems with fruit.< /p>

My eating plan excludes fruit for 1 year. :( It is VERY hard!

Just curious, why no fruit?

Could be diabetes related diet, no carbs?

      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.
