If your plan allows you to eat certain fruits or vegetables go for it but blend the whole fruit or vegetable don’t juice. Most plans suggest a staged return to eating fruits & vegetables & identify specific ones ones to avoid especially as they can be hard on your healing digestive system or are considered too much starch, too many carbs, too much sugar (natural) depending on your eating plan.
When you juice your miss out on a lot of the essential nutrients & fibre fruits & vegetables have. Plus you consume more serves of the fruit or vegetable than you would consuming it whole. You should still consider portion size & calorie contention relation to your plan.
Honestly, I used to add 25-50ml of juice to my yoghurt drink (every 2nd or 3rd day) from purée stage because it was a little too thick to drink initially. My dietician okayed it because it was a small amount & not every day. I did it for a month or so.
I started including vegetables in Soups from purée stage, then just included some in what ever slow cooked meal or Soup I was making in soft food. Steamed & microwaved them from solid food. Ate fresh fruit from about month 3.

No problem with dumping from the natural sugars?

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone here juice fruits/veg after surgery? If so, can you tell me what you do and how much you drink?

I'm wondering about fried foods. Will we ever be able to tolerate fried shrimp or chicken nuggets? Wondering about Protein on the road or at a theme park.

How did it go?

You described my surgery exactly, except I was aware of the hiatil hernia. I'm now on day 8 post-op.

I'm on day 8 post op. The first 6 days were very difficult. I feel like I've turned a corner now. The worst is behind me. Hang in there. Don't get down. It is going to get better.
