opinions on fruit?

[sassifunk 11]

Yes! I do pears and peaches because they are soft. However I don't eat them all the time

My nutritionist told me today to add some fruit into my diet - I was getting enough Protein but I needed more carbs. She suggested 1/2 a banana or watermelon.

What about watermelon? Are we supposed to eat that? I love watermelon and it's getting to be that season! Does anyone know?

I was sleeved 5/1 and had an appointment with the nutritionist yesterday. She said Watermelon is fine , just avoid the seeds. I ate a 1/3 cup today and had no problem. I also had about ten cherries yesterday and they were delicious.

I eat a little fruit daily. Carbs aren't a huge problem for me. I only have fresh fruit, small portions (track every bite) and combine with Protein.

Don't add fruit until you are consistently reaching protein goals is the advice I received from my nutritionist.

Peanut Butter and apple slices are delicous! And so are fresh berries with yogurt

I don't snack (for behavioral reasons, not because of any nutritional reason)

I eat 4 meals a day and make fruit part of 1 of those meals. Each meal is 3-4 ounces of Protein and then 1-2 ounces of veggies or fruit. For a max of 5 ounces each meal.

Fruit comes pre-packaged with Fiber, so doesn't trigger any cravings for me when eaten as part of a meal.

I really try to put fruit in my body every day. The sugar in an apple or a strawberry is not the same thing as the snickers or a Coke. My body needs these nutrients and I find I actually lose more weight when I eat more real organic food, especially fruits and nuts.

This is true, but to a diabetics body sugar is sugar and it doesn't matter where it comes from. Fruit is natures candy.

I love fruit, but I have to be really careful with it. I eat a small portion of blue berries or strawberries, once in a while as these have the least effect on my bs.

My NUT flat out told me I should be eating a serving of fruit a day. Some fruits are better than others, though. Bananas are VERY high in sugar; she suggested apples and berries as some of the best options! And no mango, papaya, or pineapple, as they might still upset the stomach.

My nutritionist also said that fruits and veggies are such an important part of your bariatric diet. You want to include it so that you train your body to want natural and healthy foods. Fruits should be eaten in moderation. I agree with@JupiterinVirgo that it's obviously better to have over candy and sodas.

Watch for seeds-digestive reasons

I try and eat fruit daily. I usually pair it woth some light cheese or Peanut Butter. In general I strive to eat real food including fruits and veggies.

It depends on where you are in the process. My program says very limited fruit due to the sugar content.
Even before VSG I knew not to eat much fruit. Your body metabolizes fruit sugar the exact same way as cane sugar or any other carb. Complex carbs will fill you up more and have other nutrients but the end result is the same. Some people can handle that ok. If you're diabetic or have metabolic resistance, you need to be careful. Stick to berries or an apple if you really need a fruit fix.

Too many carbs for me...

I eat watermelon everyday and blend my Protein Shakes with fruit. That may be contributing to my stall
