I wouldn't, only because of the high sugar content immediately post op and if you are already getting diarrhea--this might make it worse. My surgeon allowed 4 oz of juice per day during clear liquids, diluted with 4 oz of water. But I would go with a commercial product for now, like cranberry or apple juice--low sugar if you can.

My doc had me hold fresh fruit and veggies until about 6 weeks, I wouldn't but that is just my opinion. Your doc or RD would know better, maybe give them a call?

Tes- I have don't have diarrhea.

My nut told me natural sugars found in fruits and veggies are okay?

I dont know about you, there was NO way I could have......maybe just try a little little at a time? Good Luck, and remember everyone is different and to alwyas do what is best for you.

I can see where a nut would say that... It's good to have fruits and veggies when you are cleared for normal foods,

But to juice a fruit you are only getting the sugars without the benefit of the Fiber.. I think that MIGHT apply to watermelon too? But I don't know.

On that note I'm 6 months out and just had my first bowl of watermelon last week, it was a tasty treat! :)
