Fresh Strawberries

[haswhit 0]

I am wondering if it is ok to eat fresh strawberries out of the strawberrie patch on Mothers Day? I am on my 3rd week since getting banded. Just wanted to see if it was something I could enjoy on Mothers day. Thanks for your help. Hassie

As long as you're OKed for fruit by then, which by my surgeon's list is considered a solid. If you aren't on solids you could always whiz them up with some ice, or juice them.

I am 4 weeks out this week (I think?), and I'm on solids now.. I had some fresh strawberries the other day from a stand down the road.. MMM.

No problems eating them either (except fiance ate them faster and took all the pretty ones)

The dietician said that bananas were fine when starting mushies after one week. She said it was the only fruit that didn't need to be pureed and that you could just eat it like it is and chew really well. So I was thinking about strawberries and if you could do them the same way. Hassie
