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?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
