How long before fruit is ok? I LOVE fresh fruit and vegetables like could eat them all day and never need sweets or soda. I'm 2 days post op and an scheduled to start "regular food" on August 7th and just wondering if fruit is something easily tolerated or are we saying goodbye to it? Seems a shame if we are being as fruit is such a powerful source of nutrients!!! I will of course ask my doc but just wanted a reason for conversation as well.

I've been eating a handful or raw cherries every day this week for my dessert and have had no problems with digestion or anything. I haven't tried any raw veggies yet.

When I started mushy foods we could have canned fruit. I have had watermelon, cantelope and a peach so far. But I'm eating regular food now. Haven't tried raw veggies yet.

      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.
