Thought some cold pineapple on a hot day would be refreshing... Not so much. Worst cramping, dumping since surgery. It's crazy what our pouches decide they like and don't like. So far pineapple and cabbage have been the two things that really tore me up. Ouch... Go away tummy cramps!

My Preop Nursepractitioner cautioned me against pineapple- i thought it was for sugar content. She also told me no bananas.

You may not be handling pineapple well not only because of the sugar, but also because of the acid. I love fresh pineapple, but can't eat very much of it because it makes my mouth bleed.

I have no problems with bananas. I put one in my Protein shake for the potassium. Maybe the Protein offsets the sugar?

Feeling so much better. For now will just avoid pineapple all together.

I am only 3 months out, but after the 3 month checkup, I found out that most fruits are not our friends!! This is due to the high sugar content, even though its natural sugar. My nutritionist gave me this order: berries, nuts, bananas, peaches & plums(no skins), citrus, no segment skin, melons and then apples and pineapples. He said not to avoid them, but have them sparingly and you may have a bad reaction to them when you fruit and I try to eat it as often as I can or add it to a shake.< /p>

      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.
