Berries? Yes or no?



Recommended Posts

My Nutritionist told me no berries for 3 months because of the seeds and sugar.

There is this, I would though be disregarding my nut at this point to fully add any fruit, I did end up using a little.Know your own limits I would suggest; also ask, ask the persons that give your guidlines.

I wish I had the answer for you...I want grapes! lol I just want to pop a few in the freezer for a snack. I am a little irritated with my doc's office for getting me so behind in my appointments, my nut only gave me a diet guideline up to 6 weeks and I won't see her again until 8 weeks. Last time I was there she said no fruit or Beans or anything much other than lean Protein meat, lf cheese, and eggs. I have been adding a few things as I tolerate them though. I might just take a chance on the grapes, it's not like I want to eat a whole serving. :)

I've been eating fresh blueberries for a few weeks...I was only told I could eat soft fruit not hard fruit like apples. Also to avoid acidic fruit.

Not for me. I was told no nuts, seeds, berries till 4 months. Only ripe peeled fruit, too.

My doc said i can eat anything I want after two weeks as long as it doesn't upset my stomach. I've had strawberries, berries and nuts and I am losing weight. I am only 3weeks out. He said small amount of coffee with caffeine was ok. I feel good to

Ive only attempted having frozen strawberries blended in with my Protein shake.....luckily the seeds always manage to make it to the bottom of the glass so i dont swallow them.

RAAinNH, I can't really state one way or another on having pointed out tiny seeds, but I have read it thats reason some don't eat berries but also I am just told no fruit. I am going to surgeons office this week and his nut see's me at this time. I have been wanting to have a better discussion what's allowed as it goes for fruits, also I am probably out of any stage near enough to think it may effect that.

Thanks for your response JKG.... I purchased Successful Weight Loss With The Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. The books has a lot of good information and answers many of the questions I have. One of the things I learned that some people cannot tolerate seeds, especially in the first four months.

As we all know every doctor is different! Apples are good peeled though! Natural sugar he said he was not worried about! Seeds he said when im in three months. Only because of us focusing on Protein. So for now I'm eating apples peeled and cored in the crock pot with Splenda and cinnamon!!! It's amazing and great fiber!!! 7 wks and 62 lbs down!!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
