Fruit after bypass



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what everyone is eating for fruit after their bypass. I am about 3 months out and I eat about 3-5 strawberries a day sometimes or a apple with about 1 teaspoon of Peanut Butter. Is anyone eating anything like this? It doesn't hurt my stomach or anything.

I was big with strawberries and Greek yogurt. It didn't cause me any issues with my RNY. The Greek yogurt helped with my Protein levels. Good luck!!

I eat berries with my Greek yogurt every day - have since I was first cleared to eat them (maybe a couple months out? I can't remember)

I'm 8 months out but since about 3 months out I've eaten all fruit; apples, watermelon, pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, etc. In moderation of course but I love fruit and have it 4-5 times a week.

Just take it slow and see how your body reacts to each individual item. Some ppl can't do skins, they don't bother me. Others dump, so take it slow and enjoy!

I eat fruit everyday and have since early on. pineapple, grapes (skin) and apples can be tough for me. I eat them, but I have to be very careful chewing, going very slow, and keeping it to a small portion.

Strawberries and blueberries I eat all the time with no problem.

I use bananas in my smoothies and to sweeten up steel cut oatmeal.

All of this is allowed per my plan. I know there have been heated debates about bananas on here, but I am approved to have them. I generally have half a banana a day.

Im 7.5 months out.

I have been able to eat some fruits (like melon) since early days. Fruits with a fibrous skin like apples I couldn't manage the skins until end of month 3. Strawberries have always been a bit of hit and miss for me. Sometimes they are fine, other times they just don't stay down. I find bananas are hit and miss too ... sometimes I dump on them other times I don't.

Now we are moving to the soft summer fruits (in Australia) and I find I have no problems with mango and grapes. I am still waiting for nectarines to get to a reasonable price to try them. I am looking forward to cherries which usually come into the shops at the beginning of December (I will have to be extra careful not to accidentally swallow a cherry seed though).

The most surprising thing for me is that I have more problems with eggs, meat and fish than I do with fruit and vegetables. Grains and breads are just not edible at all ... which is no real loss for me since I have always loved my fruit and veg. Dairy can be hit or miss - some days I am lactose intolerant and some days I can eat it just fine.

I revised to RNY from VSG because of severe reflux. I'm 4 months post op. I eat berries every now and then, but I really can't eat any fruit. All fruit makes my heart beat like it's pounding out of my chest and I feel very sick. My surgeon said that that reaction should mellow with time, but at this point, I'd rather avoid the fruit than suffer the consequences.

I would try not to because they have little to no Protein. They are just added sugar and carbs. Once you get to a year + out you can add that stiff

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
