Has anyone tried watermelon?

I had some yesterday, no issues with it.

[Foranewme 46]

Watermelon might be my favorite food EVER. I'm hoping it still works for me. I've eaten entire watermelons by myself. :sigh: those days are over. Have you ever had a HOPE ARKANSAS one? They are supposedly the best ever. I'm planning to go to this in the next couple of years. http://www.hopechamberofcommerce.com/festival_info.htm

I get to have some fruit starting tomorrow. Will probably start with a banana or strawberries since those are what I have in the house.

Dumb question maybe, but fruits like cantaloupe won't cause dumping?

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

Not everyone dumps but if you do it's based on how many carbs you eat...4 oz of cantaloupe has about 8 carbs, 4 ounces of brown rice has 22 carbs...if you were a dumper (I am!) it takes a decent serving to get a lot of carbs in ya. I've eaten a cup of cantaloupe with no problem, wouldn't eat more than that because above about 15-20 carbs is where I start to have problems.

[Cherry 71]

OMG I hope I can eat cantalope!!! I am diabetic and insulin resistant and eating cantalope in the past has messed with my blood sugar and naturally contributes to insulin issues thus weight issues and causes me to dump (and I do not mean "dumping syndrome" LOLOL)

This is one of those instances where I pray that RNY/WLS allows me to eat something normally (even if just 1-2 ozs).

Thoughts?

Thanks, that's good to know. Cantaloupe can be a sweet treat when I get a craving! So much to learn!
