Who said it was a no no. After 6 weeks I was released to eat whatever I could tolerate.

It is not a no no for me. In fact I eat it all the time!

I didn't attempt it until soft foods and had no issues with it.

I asked the same thing- My nut said it may be hard to digest because it is so fibrous. I am cleared for all foods yet, but I am still staying away from the fibrous foods (kind of scared!)

Did not think it was a no-no if you're cleared for fruits. Most fruit is no Protein and high sugar/carb content per serving so maybe that's the thought behind it?

Watermelon is really high on the glycemic index for fruits meaning it has the most sugars per serving. For those of us following a stricter primal or paleo diet sugars are reduced. I too love watermelon but now eat it very sparingly.

It's not very fibrous. I believe pineapple and even apple have higher Fiber. Watermelon is high in sugar just like grapes so I avoid them.

I eat watermelon almost everyday. It's a great way to stay hydrated in the heat of summer. It's also low in calories and I find myself eating about 100 cals worth of it and that's more than enough.

It's one of my fav fruits & I thanksfully have no digestion issues with it. I also continue to lose when I incorporate it into my weekly plan. I've found that the darker pink...the sweeter....YUMMY!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
