Would eating grapefrui9t at this stage hurt me? Any vets that could give me some insite, I would appreciate it. I have emailed my NUT as well, I am just trying to get as much wisdom as possible.

Thanks guys!!!

I was told dense Protein first, then non-starchy veggies, and only if there's any room left do I get to eat fruit. Then I decided to limit my carbs to as few as humanly possible (ie Atkins diet) so I haven't eaten much fruit at all.

That said, I've been in a stall and I'm trying the "shake things up" method of trying to break it, so I have been eating some carbs lately. And one of the things I've missed was an apple once in a while, so I had one this past weekend - it went down fine.

I've never liked grapefruit, so I won't be trying that. I can't imagine it would hurt you, but as with most things you're trying for the first time since surgery - try a small amount at first, and go slow.

The booklet I got from my NUT says grapefruit is allowed, but may be hard to tolerate I'm guessing this may be because of the acid? Anyway, I don't think it would hurt if you tried. You never know!

If you do decide to have it just make sure not to take it with any medication, it has a synergistic affect on how the body absorbs meds, making them much stronger then they normally would be.
