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.

      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!
