How long did you wait to eat fruit and/or veggies? I'm afraid to eat both. I guess cause I don't know how my new stomach will take it.

Week 2 I started with sauteed spinach and went real well. It was pretty soft and then I moved to salad and chewed really really good. This too went well and just tried one at a time. That is what I suggest that you just start off with something soft and then try one at a time.

I started in week 5 when I was off soft foods- just a bite or two at a time to see how my stomach would handle it- I have had no problems with either, cooked or raw. I eat fresh fruit several times a week, and I have either raw spinach or raw kale in my smoothie every morning.

I started with really well-cooked veggies on week 3. No problems as long as they are well cooked, like in veg Soup. But even after 12 weeks, still can't handle raw, or even lightly steamed.

Fruit is limited to applesauce, cooked blueberries. I tried cantaloupe but it hurt my tummy, as did a couple of bites of pineapple. Grapes seem to be okay.

I'll try again in a few weeks. I am craving a real crisp apple!
