Fruits



Recommended Posts

Hi guys

There's many yummy recipes on the main forum, but there's not much talk about fruit.< /p>

How much fruit would you include in your daily intake (post-band) and what are the best fruits to eat?

I would miss my fruit if I had to give them up particuarly bananas...

Thanks

Peek - alot of people are Atkins so they watch their carbs - I follow weight watcher eating plan - as I find it a well rounded balance eating plan that includes all the things that i like to eat.

I eat bananas - by themselves or cut up in my yogurt - I eat pears, peaches, apples, plums - (you gotta chew the skin really good or cut it off) the only fruit that has given me any problems are oranges and thats the stringy tissue arount the actual furit (don't know what you call it) but i just chew up the orange and then spit that striny stuff out.

I try to eat 2 different fruits (and five vegetables) per day.

Usually I will have some fruit for Breakfast - mixed berries on my Cereal or in yogurt, or a banana chopped up etc. And then another piece of fruit for an afternoon snack, perhaps with a few walnuts or something.

I eat 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a day, lately I've been eating nectarines, plums and grapes. I also have a couple of banana's a week - the potassium in them is helps if you suffer from Fluid retention.

Phew! I was beginning to think that people didn't eat much fruit. I love my fruit particularly during the summer and would find it hard if I had to do without. Thanks everyone.

      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.
