Raw fruits and veggies

[shellyk018 30]

How long after surgery did you add these to your diet? I’ve been dying to have a salad or fresh fruit. My paperwork from my surgeons office says I can add them starting next week, a little over a month post op. So I was so excited to go grocery shopping! But I was just looking for some information online and I read somewhere not to eat ANY raw fruits or veggies until 3 months out! Please tell me your experience with this! How soon did you have them? Did you have any trouble? Do you still have any trouble with some?

At 1 month post OP I was allowed solids. I think it was another 2 -3 weeks before I got to add raw veggies, nuts and seeds.

You could have a salad with soft veg like tomatoes, lettuce,cucumber that should be fine .its the more fibrous veggies that you need to be careful of
