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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
