I'm 4 weeks post op and I see my doctor this week but just wondering when everyone started eating fruit....I'm craving it!!!

I had problems with any kind of fruit for the 1st 3 or 4 months. Even bananas made my stomach grumble. I tried just 1 slice of a strawberry during my 3rd month and immediately my stomach started grumbling.

At 6 months, my stomach complains about grapes and pineapple - anything that is fibrous. But it's not painful, just noisy!

well my doctor and nutritionist allow me to have fruit once I started on soft foods. But the fruit I can have is by dole the cups of fruit that is sugar free. You should try that it may help with your craving.

Thank you both for your responses, I'll give the dole fruit a try I need to satisfy this craving

I love to freeze grapes and eat a few in the evenings. Makes me think I'm eating ice cream.

Im allowed to have fruits in the puree stage..I can hopefully start tomorrow I have my 2 week check up..

Early out the first fruits I tolerated well were no sugar added applesauce cups and any kind of melon. I could only eat a few bites, but YUM! I've always loved my fruit. Next fruit I did well with banannas. Not my fav fruit, but it filled the gaps till I could tolerate others. I was sleeved in May and missed the entire stone fruit season because the acid in the fruit was too much for me.

I also did well with adding a couple strawberries to my yogurt shake: 1/2 cup to 1 cup yogurt, depending on how much you can eat, couple strawberries, splash of OJ, bigger splash of Water, and Splenda to taste then whirl in the blender.

My nut approved me 4 weeks and I could also have canned fruit in its own juice or water. But strained.

My dr said no fruit for the entire weight loss period because of the sugar which is hard for me because I have such a sweet tooth and instead of eating sweets I usually ate fruit.

Jeez I eat fruit every day. Ugh

Wow thats extreme. .fruit has such great natural sugar n Vitamins. .

My nutritionist allows us to add in fruit to our diets starting in the pureed stage. But it should only be one serving. One serving a day is really all you should need. And there should be no skin or seeds so I actually bought baby food fruit stage 2. The goal is to reduce carb intake as much as possible, but you do need a little carbs just to get through the day! I think disallowing fruit is extreme. It's a better carb choice than many other things. There are fruits out there that are less sweet but still satisfy like melon and watermelon.
