Fruits

Im 5wks post-op what fruits are safe and what fruits make you dump anyone???

I wasn't cleared for fruit until like 3 months post op, mostly some are fibrous and are not safe for your healing stomach, and then of course there's the high sugar content that can make you dump. So far the only fruit I've tried that didn't bother me is a banana, and I could only eat about half of it. Your nutritionist didn't give you any guidelines?

No, he said eat bananas paper work say don't eat fruit in Syrup.< /p>

He also said don't eat and drink at the same time but then tells me to eat Cereal.

He also told me alcohol was fine in small amounts no time limits.

I want to try it I just think I might dump.

Did you have the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery?

If your plan said its ok, give it a try. I was allowed soft fruits at a month out (told to avoid the skin), and cleared to start trying others at 2 months. I've had some banana, berries and canned (no syrup) pears and was fine... also have had some bits of fresh apples in a salad. I've yet to dump on fruit... However, I did try a bit of dried apricot at Christmas and that was too rough on my stomach this early.

If you're cleared for cereal, use as little milk as you can. More liquid means it'll slide through you faster and not keep you full as long. I haven't tried cereal only because haven't had a craving for it.

My NUT said she never had anybody dump from natural sugars in fruits. Oranges are still tough on my pouch a year out from RNY. But I love my fruit!

I experienced dumping from 2 mango slices and I'm 5 months post op. Everyone is different. Also I can't have bananas or else I'll experience severe diarrhea. However I have had canned pears in its own juice only a few bites as well as canned peaches with no side effects. You should probably try those and only a few bites

Ok I will

I don't dump (although I've never pushed the envelope), but some fruits sit better with me than others. I can eat half a banana with no problem. Berries are OK, too. I had some fruit salad at Christmas with some Clementine oranges in it, and I immediately threw up. I'd bet it was the oranges - they're acidic. You'll just have to try some different fruits and see what happens. Everyone seems to handle things differently...
