Hey guys, has anyone had any unusual cravings for fruit? Be it canned or fresh lately I've had this urge to eat more. This happened after I got sick with the flu, but now that I've recovered it's the same thing.

I'm taking my Multivitamins and ensure, so it's weird to be honest, not that it bothers me as I love fruit, I just didn't have this "urge" as if it were thirst (I'm well hydrated btw).

I find that I have to eat some fruit to keep my digestion system running ok. Otherwise, get really constipated. I rehydrate a bit of dried fruit, including dried prunes, apples, and pears, and have 1/2 cup of this cooked mix a day.

I am six months out and I eat fruit daily with no complications. I usually have it in the morning.

I absolutely crave fresh fruit in particular. I have been eating a piece of fruit every day since week 4 post op. One of my favorites is a fresh crisp apple (no skins) dipped in Peanut Butter. Apples make a good vehicle instead of crackers or bread for Peanut Butter and even cheese.

It is one of the best treats ever, you get Fiber from the fruit, good carbs and Protein and good fats from the peanut butter!

Yummy!

I lovvvvve fresh fruit, but I do save it for morning so that I have the rest of the day to deal with the carbs and sugar. Yes, it does help with digestion.

Good to see I'm not the only one, thanks for your responses. Lately I've changed to canned mandarin wedges in Water instead of heavy Syrup and it has worked wonders with the cravings.

I eat two strawberries and a handful of blueberries most days. I realize I get some intestinal discomfort from them so I skip a day in between. But I so enjoy them when I do eat it. Don't really know why it bothers my tummy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
