PainInTheGlass 50 Posted June 29, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veruca Salt 31 Posted June 29, 2013 I don't see a problem why you can not have them now. Make sure you chew them fully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momofjal 12 Posted July 1, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSG_VAL 25 Posted July 1, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted July 1, 2013 I had sliced tomatoes at week 4. With no issue. I made sure they were very ripe, and didn't eat the skins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherisleeve 17 Posted July 1, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 78 Posted July 1, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NancyG 58 Posted July 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
