Figs at 5 weeks?

[Mrs.RRn 2,111]

My fig tree is full of beautiful, ripe figs, but I haven't touched them yet. Im so used to eating them off the tree at this time of year... Is it ok to eat a fig or two 5 weeks out? I figured it would help with the (TMI WARNING) BMs, but they are pretty sweet.

Any suggestions??

Ask your NUT. I would think they would be ok maybe mashed into some greek yogurt.

I am almost 4 months out and concentrated sugar has caused dumping issues with me - including super sweet fruit. Talk to your doctor about it and go slowly if you do it!

I would try it. What harm can it cause. I'm at 5 weeks post-op and I'm trying everything. As long as I chew it 25-30 chews I have been okay. I love figs with goats cheese and fig pizza. I wish I could grow one up were I live. I've tried. Enjoy!

I don't have a NUT -- my doctor says anything I can tolerate is fine with him (as long as its healthy choices). I'm just worried about the sugar (dumping). Ick!
