fruit in the mushy stage

lovecats85 · October 10, 2005

Any fruit I can eat besides bananas? Can I just mush up any fruit? I'm craving some canned pineapple - can I mush that up? Will pineapple get stuck? What fruit goes down easiest (besides bananas)?

Hi Laura,

If you're going to have fruit at this point, you should probably stick with canned or sauced fruit (like canned peaches or applesauce). pineapple is fibrous, even if it's canned, and I know I've had a hard time with it. Fruit is problematic even now, I'm a little sorry to say--it takes a remarkably small amount to fill be up for a long time.

Good luck, and whatever you try, take it slow!

think like you're feeding a baby - many fruits can be stewed and pureed.< /p>

canned peaches and some pineapple juice ought to cure my cravings for now!

Bananas do NOT go down easy for me, be careful, I would go with the canned peaches if anything during the mushy phase, mixed with cottage cheese...Mmm yummy

If you want to add a little variety to your bananas (I got tired of bananas too) add a little fat free whipped cream to it and it makes it seem like you are having a little sundae and you can even add a little chocolate or strawberry Syrup (Nestle Quik) and it makes it better! I still eat the applesauce but you can also try some of the flavored sauce to add a little variety to that too! And one of the best things that I found that goes down easy is watermelon. I would eat that in the beginning too. Hope this helps!

Bananas stick for me too - they always give me a big lump in the chest, so I was thinking they might be hard to eat after. Same with eggs, particularly hard boiled eggs.

I also have trouble with fruit. The worst pb'ing I ever had was after trying to eat a plum. I can't eat banana's anymore either. I do ok with applesauce, but even watermelon gave me the chest lump. I haven't tried canned peaches, but love cottage cheese so I'm gonna try that today. It does sound good! I would think any of the fibrous fruits would be problematic.
