When can citrus fruits be reintroduced to my diet? My sleeve was performed on 7/1/13.

fruit (other than applesauce that was allowed earlier) was added on my 6 week visit.

I've still not had any fruit since I don't have room after my Protein.< /p>

food plans vary so vastly from program to program. What did the materials from your nutritionist or surgeon say?

For me I could introduce citrus and pineapple week 7... Citrus and seeds were the LAST things I was allowed.. I was allowed a big hunk of beef before I was allowed citrus!

I too was at week 6.... but used it to mix in drinks.... and just a tiny amount.

I can't find anything to specifically give me a date for adding citrus only to avoid it due to the potential of ulcers from the acidity. I can't wait to have smoothies with real fruit and Protein Powder so I was just curious.

Gotta love some of our instructions! Like mine...it says "avoid nuts" there's no point at which is says I can have nuts- it seems to expect me to avoid them forever!

However...I could have citrus fruits without the membrane at 4 to 6 weeks, I guess that means I can have the membrane after 6 weeks.

the only fruit I have had so far is banana.< /p>

      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.
