Craving Tomatoes...when can I have them?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and craving tomatoes. When can I have them? If I took the skin off, I could make it a mushy food, but then I worry about the seeds. Guidance anyone?

I have been eating Tomato Soup for several weeks, so not so concerned about the acid in the tomatoes.

I don't see a problem why you can not have them now. Make sure you chew them fully.

I can't eat any veggies or fruits until 8 weeks

I had them about a week ago. Did fine with them and eating more for supper tonight. Surgery June 3rd. I say go for it. If worried about about the seeds just cut it thin and pick around them

Glad I'm not the only one craving tomatoes! I tried Tomato around week 5. I just did a slice, peeled it and scooped some of the seeds out. It was delicious! I started adding diced tomato to my tuna, also. So good!

I had sliced tomatoes at week 4. With no issue. I made sure they were very ripe, and didn't eat the skins.

Yay! Mine are not quite ripe in the garden yet and I am 3 weeks post op, so I will be good to go when they are ready!

I had to wait 3 months for raw veggies with the exception of lettuce & Tomato. I was able to have those at 4 weeks. I haven't really felt like the lettuce, but grape/cherry tomatoes have been great.

I have been craving tomatoes too! I have always liked them but it has almost become an obsession! Got some Campbell's Sweet Basil Tomato Bisque Soup to soothe the craving.

      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.
