I am just about 2 months out and doing great. I miss eating fruits and veggies....do you eat them? If so, when and how much?

Thanks!

I eat banana. I mush a half of one to the consistency of baby food. it is delicious and binding if you know what I mean.

I try to eat vegetables, but fruits tend to make me sick. My sleeve doesn't like sugar of any form. If you are two months out, how much you can eat is dictated by how you feel. I try to incorporate vegetables into meals, so I'm not sure how much I can actually eat and I didn't eat a ton of veggies when I was close to where you are now just after surgery, so I don't have that perspective either.

You can eat any fruits and vegetables you want at this point, so experiment with what you like and you should be able to find what works best for you in no time.

I started eating cooked veggies around 2 months out. I only just recently started eating fruit, and when I do, I stick to the lower sugar fruit (berries). I will mix them into my yogurt, or just have a handful for a snack.

As far as veggies, I probably only eat a couple bites because I follow the Protein first then veggie rule. Most of the time I'm too full from the protein to have too many veggies. I'm trying to incorporate more veggies in salads and Snacks to get more in.

I have always loved vegetables and have been eating them every day since I was cleared for all foods. The only problem I have from them is a bit of occasional gas. (But that won't stop me from eating them. I don't feel a meal is complete without my veggies.) Fruit, however, I avoided until I reached goal weight. I know that for me, sugar is an issue and I didn't want anything to interfere with my weight loss. Now that I'm in maintenance, I do eat fruit, but I stick to fresh fruit in small amounts. No fruit juices. I haven't tried banana yet. Just a bit too high carb, for now.

I started veggies & fruit at two months. I can't each much veggies. As someone else posted, after eating the protein, there's not a lot of room left but I do take a few bites.

I have a small Apple w/pb2 a few days a week. Love my honey crisp apples .

I am about 3 months out and I am so frustrated - seems like I can't eat more than a bite or two of anything. I tried one small bite of cantaloupe and was miserable for hours. Anyone else struggle with this?
