I would say definitely not. At 11 days you should be on full liquids or maybe mushy food depending on your doctor.

Either way, we're not supposed to eat raw fruit or veggies until at least a month out I'd say. And I've also heard that watermelon is a troublesome one for a lot of people. I'm a month out and all I've tried is soft stuff like bananas and avocados.

What stage does your dr have you on? If its an approved food on your particular stage then, yes. If not.. Then, no

According to my doc, IF I were 2 weeks post-op, I could try it. I start soft foods on the 29th and that's "anything you can cut with a fork." Of course, I'm still in the full liquid stage, but if I wanted to puree the watermelon, I could do that, too.

But as others have said, you need to go by YOUR doctor's guidelines.

I was just wondering I'll see my dr. On Thursday. He will switch my diet to soft foods. I guess I'll just ask him. Thanks everybody :)

I had watermelon juice from Whole Foods market when I was at 2 weeks. It was good but there were plenty of white seeds in it.

I'd wait until you were into pureed foods (watermelon in the blender) or soft foods (ripe watermelon you can bite off the rind).

It depends on your doctor. I was not allowed to eat fruit of any kind until I was 8 weeks out. That was also the same for vegetables. If it is not approved by your surgeon, then the answer is no.

At just over one week, I was on full liquids. Something to keep in mind, although it is a fruit, sugar is sugar and I was told, once I WAS allowed to have fruit, to think of it as a treat. Only two or three times a week. Also, something about watermelon, the little white seeds, you want to make absolutely sure you are healed, one of those in your staple line would not be a good thing!! Good luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
