I don't know, I have not had my surgery yet. I think it depends on how far out you are, and of coarse whatever your doctor says. But if it's all you can ingest at least your getting some liquid.< /p>

I haven't had surgery yet, the only thing I really know about watermelon is there is alot of Water in it so it can cause diarrhea. Im thinking if that is all you can handle maybe throw some unflavored Protein Powder in it so at least your getting some Protein. I would for sure call my Dr as there may be some other things going on. Good luck keep me informed on how your doing. Best wishes and prayers sent your way :}

Watermelon is a fruit which has a lot of Water on it, good for Desserts and also for cleansing. You may ask your doctor regarding with it so that you can assure your safety,

Once I was on 'regular' food, which was at 4 weeks post op, I had watermelon and cantaloupe every day!! Not sure how far you are out but for me I did not have any issues.

Definitely throw some unflavoured Protein in it, so that at least your body can get some protein even if you can't handle much else. I haven't had surgery yet, but I've bought some chicken Soup flavored Unjury, and there are a lot of good reviews about it. Maybe your stomach might be able to handle something warm?

Watermelon has a high glysemic index so it spikes your insulin. Not one of the better fruits to try because of the sugar context

      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.
