Question about grapes



Recommended Posts

I have read that alot of people have trouble with the skin on fruit and remove it. My question is how do you remove the skin on grapes? Grapes are my favorite and I have read that people remove the skins on them.

I'm newly banded and worried about this too. Concord grapes are one of my favorite foods in the entire world. But skinless? Ugh. I shudder to think of it.

Grapes give some people problems but not everyone. I can eat them with no problem. If you have to peel them just use a sharp knife and start at the stem area and begin removing the skin.

I found that if I eat a few about 5 or 6 of them I do ok, If I try more then that the skins will come back on me, so I eat a few then maybe an hr or so later I will try a few more.

I don't have any trouble and grapes are a staple in my diet. Try and see, everyone is different.

Everybody is a different case and our bands react differently from one person to the other. I eat grapes and never had any problem whatsoever. Same goes for lettuce or any other kind of veggies or fruit, bread or Pasta. It all goes down without problem (I just have to be cautious not to eat too much and to chew well...)

I have had no problem eating grapes or any other fruit that we normally eat with skin on. I have skinned grapes in the past and it is pretty easy. Wasabubblebutt explains well how to so it. BTW I was banded 21.06.07, have lost 48lbs with the pre and post op diet and have not had a fill yet

I've only been banded for a few days so I don't have the luxury of eating grapes yet.

However, I always have preferred my grapes peeled. I usually start at the top (where the grape is disconnected from the stem) and peel back like flowers on a petal. Yum yum!!!

I don't have a whole lot of restriction, but I can eat grapes with the skin on.

      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.
