tomato/tomato products...

How long if at all did you have to avoid Tomato or tomato products after surgery? How about fruit or veggies with skins or seeds? 8 long weeks for me and my program. I know everyones program is different depending on where you go.

Ask your nut. It really depends in the type of seed. I was told to peel and seed tomatoes until 6 months.I will be six months on the 29 th, and I still can't do fruit skins.

If you ask your NUT, let us know what the NUT says about tomatoes.

Tomatoes are highly acidic and I have never tolerated Tomato foods (soup, Pasta sauce) very well. I wonder if I will be able to tolerate them post op?!

Right now the thought of a creamy tomato Soup, made with coconut milk instead of milk, sounds good.

I was told 8 weeks before I could have any of the products in the original post, by the nutritionist. I was just wondering what others guidelines were. I have read others can't have bread for 6 months. I could have toast and crackers at 4 weeks post op. And to be honest it was the first solid thing I could consume that felt good in my pouch! Of coarse it was about a third of a piece of Sarah Lee multigrain with a thin layer of Peanut Butter (which I could have since day 3 after surgery)

I've not been told to avoid tomatoes, or any foods except for the potential dumping ones.

Tomatoes were not on the blacklist for me. I've had them since surgery (only the tiny salad kind) and had no problems, so far. I make them an occasional food. Not a huge fan anyways. As mentioned above, check with your Nut. Better safe, than sorry.
