Soft Foods... Fruit



Recommended Posts

I had just starting eating Soft foods today and I was wondering if you can have fruit with that?

I was allowed fruits on soft foods as long as they were soft enough to be cut easily with a fork, and they fit into my daily carb limits. So the reality was I rarely ate fruits other than blending a small amount of berries into my Protein Shake or occasionally eating a few ripe strawberries. fruit was just too high carb for my menu.

fruit is one of the things I don't eat hardly at all any more. Just can't take the high sugar.

Be careful tho, as it could cause a sugar dumping episode (sick/throwing up and shaking). Look for lower carb (low sugar) fruits like strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe. And eat VERY little of them until you see how you feel after.

I've had a banana, s/f applesauce, strawberries, s/f pears and peaches.

I haven't had any issues

The strawberries and banana was blended in a shake.

I avoided them due to the sugar content.

banana make me CRAZY Full fast... so be careful.

I had luck early on with melons - honeydew and cantaloupe. But my early time was season for them. Another one that works for me is grapes. I had to watch the skins but the big ones in half and chew good...

      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.
