Just curious as to how long it took some you to be able to tolerate fruit?

I started with fruit at about 2 1/2 months out and eat fruit at least once a day. There is no fruit I can not eat and enjoy having something other than Protein. I also map out my food intake on Myfitnesspal before I even start eating, so I know I what I can eat ( I have pretty much figured out the amount I can eat at a time by now, although sometimes I can eat less and Protein is always first) and always ensure I eat the correct level of protein. My doctor forcefully reminded me to eat fruit and veggies as well and to not only eat protein as this is not healthy either. Try to maintain a balance with a focus on protein first but do not forget the veg and fruit part of your diet.

I have not had every kind of fruit, just to clarify, but I have had necatrine, peachs, grapes, apples, pears, plums, apricots, banana, strawberry, other berries, lemon but no oranges or other citrus. NO melon (was warned to stay away from watermelon by doctor) which is fine since I hate watermelon anyway. So far I have had no reaction to any fruit and ate skin and all. But each person is different so try each one, a little bit at a time, to see what will work for you.

I was cleared for fruit at the puree stage - 2.5 weeks out of surgery. I've had apples, nectarines, plums, and cantelope so far. I try to have a little fruit every day - usually as an afternoon snack. I haven't had any problems so far - I'm 6 weeks out, on solids, eating skins and all.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
