What fruits?

That depends on what your surgeon's rules are and how far out from surgery you are. I can share my surgeon's guidelines, but they may not be the same as yours.

I wasn't allowed any fruit whatsoever until I reached the soft food stage, which was 8 weeks after surgery for me (4 weeks full liquid + 4 weeks purees). The primary reason for not being allowed fruit for these 8 weeks was to focus on high protein foods.

Once I reached soft foods, I could have any fruit I wanted, as long as it was soft enough to cut with a fork AND I could fit it into my daily carb allotment, which is max 60 carbs per day. So for me at that stage, my fruit intake was mostly things like a quarter cup of ripe raspberries, a couple of prunes, or a little bit of apple sauce.

Now that I have reached the standard bariatric diet phase (six months post surgery) I can have any fruit I want, but again, it has to fit into my carb allotment for the day. So I don't eat a lot of fruit -- usually just one small serving per day.

Early on I ate applesauce and put fruit into smoothies, but did not really start eating whole fruit until about a couple months along.
