Tomato trouble?

[Jennifree 16]

I am reading through the handbook my surgeon provided, and it cautions that post surgery, tomatoes may cause distress. I love tomatoes, and hope this does not happen. My birthday is tomorrow, and I was given a Miracle Gro Aerogarden with cherry Tomato pods to grow indoors. I realize that I can't have any now, as I'm on the liver - reduction diet til my surgery on Tuesday, but my husband loves salad with tomatoes.

Has anyone had trouble with tomatoes a few months after their bypass surgery?

I can eat them *now*, but I couldn't until I was a few months out - the acid bothered my pouch.

I'm 4 months post op gastric bypass and just diagnosed with an ulcer. My advice? Stay away from citrus, tomatoes, and anything acidic or spicy. It's not worth it.

I am 33 months post-op RNY and I eat tomatoes all the time, especially in my chili. But after surgery you may have to wait a few months before you reintroduce them back into your diet.

It took me a couple of months before I could eat them raw but I do eat them almost every day. I love my tomatoes and cucumbers!
