Hi, i was sleeved 2.5 weeks ago, started mushies in my third week, but usually i can not eat more tan two large spoons of ANYTHING, but this fruit salad i downed in 10 minutes like it was nothing, this makes me question how my stomach works, i'm confused, are fruits just going right through me?

This isn't about fruit. @GreenTealael This is about being sleeved 2.5 weeks ago and eating ahead of his doctor's plan. And it's about eating about 1-1/2 - 2cups of food (any food) at 2.5 weeks, just starting into week 3. That is what concerns me. It also concerns me about the hedonism (binge response) of saying, "Screw my surgeon's prescription...I'm gonna eat what I want and right now, I WANT to eat 2cups of fruit."

It's also about eating this kind of volume of any food in 10 minutes--AS IF IT WERE NOTHING--especially at 2.5-3weeks.

Not in response to the initial poster (i get that, its too early for most things, But other countries have other rules so... IDK) but all the subsequently fruit discussion after. Fruit may not be on plan for everyone (medical, allergies, etc) but its value in a balanced diet shouldn't be automatically dismissed simply because of carb count. That's what I'm agreeing with.

Totes agree!!! And I totally get that a fully mature tool or even a tool that is well healed, should have fruit put through it and that someone really can eat 1 1/2 to 2 cups of cut up fruit without an issue. And it would go down pretty fast I'd think--cuz of all the Water content.

I think if you can tolerate the carbs and or sugar (fast acting sugar) without spiking your insulin or bgs or making you crave or hungry in 30 minutes? More power to you!! I honestly think Dr. Weiner's approach is pretty healthy!

@BlueAngelEyes sorry - but you cannot get so preachy especially since you are no different from anyone else pre-op. You have zero cred to give advice to anyone post surgery. The OP was looking for advice not a lecture since he has no medical support.

@Brotherman Bill the stages of food change as you heal, because inflammation causes some restriction as well, but if you are tall, anatomy-wise you could have a longer stomach and therefore slightly more capacity. Also as a man you may need more than 60-80gr of Protein. It will be a balancing act based on how you feel and progress of weight loss. Also take your Vitamins as soon as you can swallow something like that. Good luck.

Also do a search on youtube for Jersey Jules and on here, plus @BigViffer, @JerseyJules

I found most Fruits aren't very dense, the only ones that ever fill me up are bananas.

I'm well over 2.5 years out and can eat way more that I could at 1 year out. My advice is to utilize the honeymoon period wisely and find what works best for you in sustaining a health and happy lifestyle post op.

You should be getting at least 60 grams of Protein a day
