How long before fruit is ok? I LOVE fresh fruit and vegetables like could eat them all day and never need sweets or soda. I'm 2 days post op and an scheduled to start "regular food" on August 7th and just wondering if fruit is something easily tolerated or are we saying goodbye to it? Seems a shame if we are being as fruit is such a powerful source of nutrients!!! I will of course ask my doc but just wanted a reason for conversation as well.

I've been eating a handful or raw cherries every day this week for my dessert and have had no problems with digestion or anything. I haven't tried any raw veggies yet.

I eat fruit all the time. I am 3.5 months out.

That's VERY good news thank you!!!

When I started mushy foods we could have canned fruit. I have had watermelon, cantelope and a peach so far. But I'm eating regular food now. Haven't tried raw veggies yet.

I eat fruit for my snacks.......Love it! Watch at first acidic fruit...go slow...I was surprised I can handle oranges and the like now because before my surgery I could not....

The fruit tastes much sweeter and delicious now...I eat plenty of fruit...great Fiber and low in calories..if your counting!

I love fruits, I'm one month two weeks post op and I eat fruits mostly berries and cantaloupe I've also tried pineapple with no problem

I started with bananas in the mushy stage. You can also put them in a protein shake.

This is good to hear because I Love fruit. I'm about a month out and am craving dark cherries and cantaloupe!!
