Well ...fruit has lots of sugar in it.... But I don't think it has protien, dairy, grains...and I believe you need a good combination of all of the above to have a healthy balance...but I am not a dr or Nutritionist so this may be a question for your healthcare team.

i of course agree with floridays, i eat fruit DAILY

but it does not make up my whole (food menu).

you need fiber/protein etc...but ask your dr to be sure.

All fruit doesn't sound very balanced to me. I agree with Floridays, its a question for the professionals.

You need to consult with a nutritionist. Although eating apples, oranges, and grapes are a good snack alternative to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Dorito's, they are loaded with carbs and sugar and only traces of Protein. Even the nutritionist I go to wants me to limit my fruit.

One more thing, they don't exactly fill you up. Regardless of whether you are having or have had surgery, you want to eat something that will satisfy you for hours at a time.

Good luck to you!

I love fruit too (I have a little with almost every meal). But a fruit only diet isn't going to keep you full very long or meet your nutritional needs. There is very little Protein. Why not look up some new recipes that include your favorite fruits in them?

A nutritionist could better answer this question.

My two cents worth is..... a balance diet is always best. If you are picky and fruit is your fav then your biggest worries are getting in the Protein you need. You would have to find some way to fit that in, if it be protien shakes with fruit added, Beans, peanut butter- something to get the Protein. Protein is the food your muscles need.

Also, if you are not taking in a balanced diet it is very important to continue to daily regiment of vitiamins. There are some Vitamins that going with out for litterally just a few days can serioulsy effect your health.

Good luck to you!

Sugar, no Protein, probably should consult with your surgeon before something this risky.

I have a friend who is also banded and she plateaued for 2 months... she did a 10 day fruit/veggie fast (Joe Cross - Reboot) and she did really well. Maybe try it for very short period but consult with your doctor.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
