That depends, when was your surgery?

I crave a lot of watermelon , does anyone else or know if its ok to eat?

are you on solids? if yes, sure you can have it. just be careful with sugar when it comes to fruit...it can be higher than you realize.

i think its okay

i just had some with my dinner (after i ate my protein, beans first)

love it cold...but if you are just post op, then no

When I was back on solids, I wasn't allowed watermelon (and many other fruits) for awhile. My doctor has the progression setup a certain way, and melon was several weeks out. I would ask your doctor if it's okay for you, depending where you're at. Certain foods create bloat and gas, and some doctors don't add everything back all at once, even if you're past the mushy stage.

I love watermelon! I'm 2 months post op and I have trouble with it. It's like I can feel it stuck in the the middle of my chest even though I can get water and other foods down with that stuck feeling. Not sure if it's because I accidentally take too large of swallows. With all the water content it's hard to tell when it's chewed to mush. I'm basically avoiding it at this point.

we have "sugar baby" watermelons down here.. they are seedless and so sweet... 85 calories for a cup.. not bad .. like the others said,, if you are on regular food, okay if not.. not okay

Been eating it for the last 5 days lol but make sure you are in your solid food week and not earlier

I'm pretty new to the band, "cassandramontes" can you please tell me what side affects can happen when one eats say watermelons before you're on solid food week?

Thank you.

You can cause the sutures that hold the band to your stomach to tear lose and the band can slip. Most docs won't allow solids for at least 2 weeks and many not for 4 weeks.

I had surgery may 10 th n on solid foods.
