I grew up on fruit. Now the doctors say I can't have it. What do you do to replace it?

Never? Or just for a while? I was wondering the same thing and have also been craving fruit.

Why do they say no fruit? I have been eating fruit , love it.

I eat fruit all the time. I have a banana every day. Maybe it depends on how you can tolerate sugar.

I eat fruit and veg everyday. If it is a snack I have protein with it. For example I will drink 4 ounces of milk and eat 1/2 banana. Strawberries ill eat an ounce of walnuts or almonds with. I never eat the fruit alone without a protein. In fact I eat more nutritionally now than ever. I don't buy low fat or fake sugar stuff. I only eat whole foods even if they are higher in fat I just eat less and I measure everything.

I can eat just about any fruit I want. I was never told I couldn't. I would check on that with your nut.

Fruit yummy! Lately I have been having raspberries and mango with cottage cheese for breakfast. Last week my breakfast was banana slices with 1 tbsp peanut butter! I could never give up fruit now veggies that's a different story! Definitely check with your nut!

I'm the same way, though there are a few things I buy low fat. Mayonnaise, salad dressing, and sour cream are the main ones. I never buy anything fat free, unless it's naturally fat free. Too many additives are put into fat free stuff.

I usually eat my banana with Peanut Butter. I get Skippy reduced fat peanut spread. 'Spread' is different from 'butter'. Less oils and fats are added in.

I do not understand why your doctors are saying no fruits. Fruits are the best source of proteins and vitamins. I hope it is only for some time.

They are full of minerals and vitamins but they are carbohydrates not Protein for the most part. There are a couple of exceptions of course.

Mine said no fruit while healing - fibers can get caught in staples and chunks not chewed well will cause problems. After you're fully healed fruits are a great source of nutrition and dietary fiber. Some fruits (like bananas) are high in sugar with less fiber and may cause dumping in some people. Having some sort of protein w/your fruit can help prevent that. Berries of all types are a great source of fiber. Fruit juice is not recommended by my team - juice has all the sugar with none of the fiber benefits. Drinking a glass of orange juice is way more sugar than a single orange. Some people dilute juice w/water which gives you the flavor if you're craving it. :-)

_{Try apple sauce. That's all I am allowed to have. I think they say no fruit due to sugar content!}
