Ask your dietitian. I won't get fruit or veggies for quite a while.

My doctor said to say bye bye to corn. As for fruits and veggies I'm 1 month out and I'm eating both. It's not much but I can.

I was back on fruits and veggies by 2 months, start soft and advance slowly. No issue with any of it, corn was fine. Haven't tried citrus or apple with peel yet though!

At six weeks I was able to eat a regular diet including raw veggies. When I was eating soft or mushy food they allowed soft or mushy fruits and veggies. I bought alot of the four packs of mandarin oranges and pears in Water and bananas. However check with the dietitian in charge of your program for specifics...

The nuts allowed me to have soft and mushable fruits and veggies now at two weeks postop. No corn or peels for six months. But i can have melon, bananas, canned fruit packed in juice then drained, carrots, peas, brocoli... The veggies have to be heavily boiled or steamed though. And chew good! :) ... Of course this is all sparingly - I'm too busy getting Water and Protein in to be able to eat much else.

Thanks everyone. I have an appointment this week with my NUT. I'll see what she says. I am not so good with cooked veggies. I like them better raw. I am dying to expand my diet a bit so I don't get too bored. Bored = bad. :/

      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.
