Just curious as to how long it took some you to be able to tolerate fruit?

I started with fruit at about 2 1/2 months out and eat fruit at least once a day. There is no fruit I can not eat and enjoy having something other than Protein. I also map out my food intake on Myfitnesspal before I even start eating, so I know I what I can eat ( I have pretty much figured out the amount I can eat at a time by now, although sometimes I can eat less and Protein is always first) and always ensure I eat the correct level of protein. My doctor forcefully reminded me to eat fruit and veggies as well and to not only eat protein as this is not healthy either. Try to maintain a balance with a focus on protein first but do not forget the veg and fruit part of your diet.

I have not had every kind of fruit, just to clarify, but I have had necatrine, peachs, grapes, apples, pears, plums, apricots, banana, strawberry, other berries, lemon but no oranges or other citrus. NO melon (was warned to stay away from watermelon by doctor) which is fine since I hate watermelon anyway. So far I have had no reaction to any fruit and ate skin and all. But each person is different so try each one, a little bit at a time, to see what will work for you.

I was cleared for fruit at the puree stage - 2.5 weeks out of surgery. I've had apples, nectarines, plums, and cantelope so far. I try to have a little fruit every day - usually as an afternoon snack. I haven't had any problems so far - I'm 6 weeks out, on solids, eating skins and all.

      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.
