I don't know for sure, but I would assume as long as you chew them good you could have the skins.. I like mine peeled :P and grats on the new step.. so exciting isnt it. I just enjoyed a bowl of grapes last night.. never has a grape tasted so sweet and juicy and wonderful..lol

Wow! I can't have raw veggies until 4 months. I would peel the skin at first if I were you.

Enjoy!!

I'm so jealous, enjoy for me. My NUT just said yesterday that it would be 3 months before I had raw veggies and salad. I am dreaming of spinach salad with sliced almonds, gorgonzola crumbles and craisins.

I'm almost 5 weeks and have to wait another 3 or 4 weeks so eat salad and fruits!!!! Why can one eat more than the others??

But I'm excited for you!!! Good luck and keep us posted.

I was sleeved on 09/12 and the doctor advised me not till after at least, two months out on salad and peels.. You can try it but everyone that has prior to 3-4 months? said it hurt like hell... I would love a really good salad but I can wait.. I haven't had any problems food wise.. I am whey Protein / lactose intolerant so I had to start eating a little earlier just to get ANY protein... The soy made me gag...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
