I don't know, I have not had my surgery yet. I think it depends on how far out you are, and of coarse whatever your doctor says. But if it's all you can ingest at least your getting some liquid.< /p>

I haven't had surgery yet, the only thing I really know about watermelon is there is alot of Water in it so it can cause diarrhea. Im thinking if that is all you can handle maybe throw some unflavored Protein Powder in it so at least your getting some Protein. I would for sure call my Dr as there may be some other things going on. Good luck keep me informed on how your doing. Best wishes and prayers sent your way :}

Watermelon is a fruit which has a lot of Water on it, good for Desserts and also for cleansing. You may ask your doctor regarding with it so that you can assure your safety,

Once I was on 'regular' food, which was at 4 weeks post op, I had watermelon and cantaloupe every day!! Not sure how far you are out but for me I did not have any issues.

Definitely throw some unflavoured Protein in it, so that at least your body can get some protein even if you can't handle much else. I haven't had surgery yet, but I've bought some chicken Soup flavored Unjury, and there are a lot of good reviews about it. Maybe your stomach might be able to handle something warm?

Watermelon has a high glysemic index so it spikes your insulin. Not one of the better fruits to try because of the sugar context

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
