Veggies and Fruit?

I had surgery February 19. I feel like I've been on mushies for ev er. When were you allowed to have fresh fruits and veggies? When are seeds and peels no longer an issue? I miss corn.

    Ask your dietitian. I won't get fruit or veggies for quite a while. HW 358 SW 344 CW 333 GOAL 200

    My doctor said to say bye bye to corn. As for fruits and veggies I'm 1 month out and I'm eating both. It's not much but I can. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221**28 d

    I was back on fruits and veggies by 2 months, start soft and advance slowly. No issue with any of it, corn was fine. Haven't tried citrus or apple with peel yet though!

At six weeks I was able to eat a regular diet including raw veggies. When I was eating soft or mushy food they allowed soft or mushy fruits and veggies. I bought alot of the four packs of mandarin oranges and pears in water and bananas. However check with the dietitian in charge of your program for specifics...

The nuts allowed me to have soft and mushable fruits and veggies now at two weeks postop. No corn or peels for six months. But i can have melon, bananas, canned fruit packed in juice then drained, carrots, peas, brocoli... The veggies have to be heavily boiled or steamed though. And chew good! :) ... Of course this is all sparingly - I'm too busy getting Water and Protein in to be able to eat much else.

Thanks everyone. I have an appointment this week with my NUT. I'll see what she says. I am not so good with cooked veggies. I like them better raw. I am dying to expand my diet a bit so I don't get too bored. Bored = bad. :/

...not too much longer!
