Am I not suppose to eat fruit?



Recommended Posts

I'm a month out and have been at a stall for maybe about 1 in a half weeks. So far I had lost 40lbs but recently gained back 2lbs. I've had some cantaloupe in the past couple days and are we not suppose to eat fruit yet?? Also , to get out my stall in assuming exercise is key right? I wasn't worried about my stall until I gained the 2 lbs.

Everyone's program is different. Mine allowed fruits after week 2, and I ate tiny amounts of them. I got my Protein in first and that very little room for anything else. Measure your fruit. The best way is to weigh it. 100 grams ( a little over 3 oz.) has 46 calories. Only exercise I got at a month out was walking. I wasn't cleared for the gym till after week 6. Stay on your eating plan and the stall will go away.

I was allowed fruit after 4 weeks. However, it was basically said to limit it to Breakfast time and only after I had gotten my Protein in.

We can only guess, but I'm thinking that the cantaloupe was probably not the reason for the 2lb gain. Our bodies have a lot going on with Fluid balances and such. 2lbs I wouldn't worry about so much. If you start gaining more than that, I'd recommend speaking to your NUT/NP/etc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
