Quick question, I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and was wondering about watermelon. It's soft and watery, does anyone know if it's ok to have?

my opinion its too much sugar too soon and you will get full on only a little piece

I'm not sure about the three weeks out part. I do know that for me watermelon is a slider and I can eat way too much. In addition, although it isn't very calorie dense there are lots of carbs - which many of us work hard to avoid. One cup of diced watermelon has 45 calories but 10 net carbs. I try to stay between 20-30 carbs so for me that is just too much. Also, while a cup of anything sounds unlikely... It's watermelon and once you chew it there is very little to it.

I had asked my Dr. you might realize it but watermelon is stringy is what I was told. I am able to have some now at 6 weeks out.

My surgeons office actually told me to eat watermelon to help easee constipation. It is a natural colon cleanser. I am 7 weeks out and didn't have any problems with it, even at 5 weeks.
