Ok, I am now 2 weeks away from my surgery. I will start the pre-op diet on Tuesday. I know I need to watch my carbs. My facilitator said that I just need to stay away from breads, rice, potatoes, and noodle but fruits are ok. I just looked online and saw how many carbs are in apples and grapes. A lot! What have been your experiences? Are those carbs ok?

Most of us keep our carbs as low as possible. And yes, that can include fruits. But post-op I have found 1 clementine or a half of an apple fills me up, so I haven't been too concerned about over-doing it. Grapes do have higher carbs than some other fruits, as do bananas.

I would error on the side of caution and avoid fruits. In my case, I know that fruit triggers sugar cravings and I don't lose weight easily if I have it in my diet.

I'm not sure about apples but my NUT said that 10 grapes would be a serving of fruit. (for pre-op)

I am so jealous of all you guys. My pre-op is 2 weeks liquid only. I'm on day 5, I would die for even 2 bites of chicken breast or something not sweet.

My pre op diet was liquids only for a week! Hated it lol. Anyway I am 6 weeks out and I am allowed to have fruit without skins. I like fruit cups and I like to put blueberries and bananas in my shakes. I don't eat citrus fruits because of the acid.

So you can eat raw fruit without skins, even strawberries? Do you still have to have shakes at week 6? Sorry I have my surgery on the 14th and just am curious about this. Can't wait to not drink shakes all the time. :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
