Recommended Posts

I dont see much on here in regards to fruit consumption. I'm not banded yet and wanted to know if fruit was a no no.

yes always!!! everyday.. i feel its importent to get fruits and veggies in...

but you still have to make sure to get protien.. and some fruits are difficult for my band to tolerate.

I eat fruit daily in small portions, but fruit should always be consumed in the morning and not late evenings due to the sugar content and carbs.

I love watermelon and find it easier to swallow the juice but I admit to spitting out the meaty part after the juice goes down. I also eat grapes and cherries, again spit out any hulls from any fruit that doesn't digest well like apples hules, peach skin or any thing that feel like it may be heavy to get stuck going down.

Just about everything hurts to eat. So I'm focusing more on liquids that are high in Protein which includes fruit smoothies.

I love mixed berry, with organic blueberry, rasberry, strawberry and then blended with ice, organic yogurt, and Pom blueberry/pomegrante juice or Pom cherry/pomegrante juice. Mango, Orange, banana smoothies are great too! And if I have to leave the house in the hurry, starbucks has good ones with between 16 and 21 grams of Protein.< /p>

I like fruit and try to eat it daily as it does help keep things "moving." I just don't always "think" about it and will end up grabbing something else instead. Trying to change that. I'm on a white nectarine kick right now and that's helping me get more fruit in. At the Farmer's Market the other day they had "Nectaplums" and those are SOOOOO good! Love them! Pluots are another one that I'm liking a lot right now.

Tahan, I'm hoping you don't mean you're only a month out from surgery and you're trying to eat fruit? Double-check your food guidelines from your surgeon on that one. I couldn't eat fruit for the first 8-9 months according to my surgeon and a month out, I was still on soft foods. Be careful!!!

I eat 3-4 fruit every day.. more than veggies, but that is due to personal preference. I love blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, grapes, nectarines, apples, bananas, etc. I don't have an issue eating any of them, even the skin. My surgeon said to limit fruit, due to calories, to 1-2 per day, but I have never listened to that. :biggrin: I think everyone is different.. you will need to experiment and see.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
