Mango is a No Go



Recommended Posts

I'm on soft blended foods and my list referenced soft fruits cut into small pieces. Such as papaya or melon.

Instantly I thought of mangoes. My favorite. I had the hubby buy some cubed mango. I bit off very small pieces and chewed them to mush but now I feel like a pile of rocks are sitting in my sleeve.

I guess unsweetened applesauce is as wild as I can be with fruit right now.

My daughter, however, has now discovered the joys of mango. :-)

Trial and error.

fruit can be very fibrous, be careful and stick with Protein and your applesauce.

Good call. I did not enjoy the "brick" feeling at all.

Mangos are very fibrous...so are pineapples. Things like peaches, melons...those might be easier.

Wow...hadn't thought that the mango was fibrous! Live & learn! At least Amanda's daughter is enjoying the mango!

Aw man.. I was looking forward to mixing up my greek yogurt with defrosted mango chunks from Trader Joe again. Well.. I'll still give it a go when the time comes, but I'll proceed with caution.

Amazon and Bmbrush are right. It is more fibrous than I remembered.

I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I think I will give it another 3 weeks b4 tying again. And now I know my daughter's got my back! ;-)

I know the last thing you want to hear is "blender", but you could break up some of the Fiber by, uh, hmm, what's another word for puree? :P

      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!!
