4 months post op? You should be eating pretty much anything by then.

I'm only 2 months out and the only fruit my dr says to avoid is grapefruit, although I can't remember why right now since I don't like it anyhow.

I hate to tell you tis but my bariactric nurs told me yesterday that I should wait for 6months before eating anything with seeds like tomatoes black berries rasberries strawberries and blue berries. however I did ask her if I could eat bannanas and she sid that that was ok . you don't want a seed to get stuck in a creavas that is still healing.

I have eaten raspberries mashed into Greek yogurt and I was one. I have has blueberries and was fine. A banana was fine but I blended it. I'm are it would fill you up quickly. I am of the belief your body wants fruit and is needing potassium.

I was cleared several months ago to eat pretty much any fruit and I am 5 months out. I would think that you should be fine but it is best to see what your NUT says and follow their plan. I am a fruit-a-holic now! LOVE IT! Hope you can get some soon!

It seems like every NUT is different. I was cleared for any & all foods 6 weeks out. They just said to limit it to 1 piece of fruit a day because of the carbs.

Grapefruit can impact how medications react in your body. The easiest way to explain it is that grapefruit makes many types of medicine be absorbed differently by the body, to the point where a normal dosage can become toxic.

You should be totally fine. By four months you can eat pretty much anything but celery and coconut. Go for it! Make sure to savor every bite!

I've been eating those since around 9 weeks. Again with all of the differences.

Many have trouble with the stringiness nature of celery before 5-6 months post op.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
