GirlOnFire 111 Posted August 30, 2015 At what point post surgery were you allowed to start having fruit and veggies again? 6 weeks? 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McButterpants 2,846 Posted August 30, 2015 I had no limitations on my diet after 8 weeks... I still struggle with some fruits and veggies - I couldn't tolerate a salad until I was one year out. Apples are bad for me. I can eat 1/2 a tangerine and feel OK. Anything more than 5 cherries at one time will send me into great pain. It's trial and error for me! salad for me is about 1/3 cup of FINELY cut romaine lettuce and some cherry Tomato topped off with some Protein. Always follow your doc/nut instructions...just because someone else's doc said it was OK to introduce fruit and veggies at a certain point doesn't mean you should to it. This is not a chose your own adventure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bndtoslv 292 Posted August 30, 2015 I am 8 weeks out now and had s cucumber and Tomato salad last night. Just about 2 spoonfuls. It was fine. I was allowed to phase in all foods after 3 weeks leaving crunch vegetables and soft bread for last. I'm not trying soft bread until I'm at goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovemylukers 80 Posted August 30, 2015 1 week out I could have all cooked veggie and any peeled fruit, but I had to always put my Protein first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkinOnMe 596 Posted August 30, 2015 I am 3 1/2 months out & still have a hard time with fruits & veggies. I have very minimal restrictions, but cant seem to eat much after I eat my protein! Now I take a supplement instead & know I am getting my servings in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeyfan7 249 Posted August 31, 2015 At day 10 I was allowed zucchini, summer squash and green Beans. At day 10 I was allowed lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. I'm 3 months out and still not supposed to have fruits at all. I have had peaches, cantaloupe, strawberries, apples and cherries in small amounts though. The NUT says they have too many carbs and not to eat them.
