apples....

[LeslieLee 0]

Hi all,

I am curious how many of us can eat apples with the band. There are so many really good apples out there and it is coming up to apple season soon. I love them when they are really firm and crisp, but I am a bit concerned about not being able to keep them down.

anyone tried them?

What other fruits are easier to eat?

I have eaten apples and would suggest your peal them. The pulp is very easy and chews down to a liquid fairly quickly. The skins could be a problem if you have a tight restriction. At this time, I can eat the skins. I also eat nuts such as cashew which chew down to a fine pulp as well. Doddie

I find apples hard - I have to peel and slice them to eat them, which doesnt worry me in the slightest since biting into an apple with the skin on sets my teeth on edge.

The flesh does chew down but its still one of those foods that really fills me within a bite or two, I have to go slow.

The apple is no problem, the peel is another story. I have to peel them

Apples are great but I also have to peel them. Found out about that the hard way! Other fruits that are easy - watermelon and blueberries are my favorite. Strawberries go down well also. Anything with a thick rind of any kind needs to be peeled.

I am pretty sure that I could eat apples, but the peels would get me.

I have been having troubles with fruit peels lately.

I have had sticking episodes with some cherry skins and a skin from a stewed Tomato that was in some chili. A stupid skin from a beef sausage just about killed me the other day. I got so inflamed I had to resort back to full liquids for 48 hours to feel better.
