Sleeved 14 days ago, no hunger for food, but craving oj and fruits like strawberries, mangos, oranges, pineapples, etc. when can I eat them again? I miss my fruits!i tried strawberry frozen yogurt, it was yummy and the first solidish food I could get down, then freaked when I realized it had seeds in it still

Can't say I recomend it, but I had 1/2 of an orange/mango smoothie from Starbucks in the airport on the way home from surgery. That was about 72hrs post op, and I had no problems with it at all. Except it almost killed me to throw away 1/2 of a $6 smoothie

I usually have 4 oz or so of v8 fusion whenever I have a fruit craving. It has a veggies and fruit in it so a lil more nutritious than just plain juice but it's also really good.

Ashlee,

Darlin you want to be careful only 2 weeks out. You are still healing and acid, skin, seeds and strings from the fruit can cause issues as I understand it (folks here have posted about things like Bezors - i think it is like a fur ball type thing from the strings of pineapple/celery). IMO if you have a craving for fruit, take a little juice, Water it down and sip. You should be on mushies and moving along basically foods that will drop off a spoon so that your sleeve can heal. Please follow your specific nut/doc guidelines for food items different docs have different requirements.

Best to you in your journey,

Sandy

Oh and you CAN also have some v8, just want to watch sodium levels this may help you

Im behind where I should be due to complications. I was jw about others' diets. I know I wouldn't be able to anyway if I were on schedule as I've had pretty bad reflux.

4 months here. I can have fruit in my yogurt at 4-6 weeks.

Try buying a juicer , I have one and I love it. You don't get the same texture but u get all natural fruit juice.

Anybody else hesitant to eat fruit because of the carb and sugar content? Sometimes I want to but I feel so bad to have carbs/sugar. :/

I say if you are gonna have carbs fruit is the way to go.. However you really need to wait until your cleared. I didn't get to eat fruits until stage 3. When I did crave fruit I did drink juice, but that really didn't do the trick as the juices were just way to sweet.

When did you get to stage 3? I'm 3 months out I don't really eat much fruits/veggies at all mainly cuz I don't have room tho.

My surgeon doesn't do the stage 1 so I was discharged on mushies. So I was on stage 3 6 weeks out. I don't have much room for fruit either, if I see that I'm good with my protein. I will allow one of my snacks to be a piece of fruit. But I rarely get to eat it, because I usually need all my room for protein.
