I have read that alot of people have trouble with the skin on fruit and remove it. My question is how do you remove the skin on grapes? Grapes are my favorite and I have read that people remove the skins on them.

I'm newly banded and worried about this too. Concord grapes are one of my favorite foods in the entire world. But skinless? Ugh. I shudder to think of it.

frog.

Grapes give some people problems but not everyone. I can eat them with no problem. If you have to peel them just use a sharp knife and start at the stem area and begin removing the skin.

I found that if I eat a few about 5 or 6 of them I do ok, If I try more then that the skins will come back on me, so I eat a few then maybe an hr or so later I will try a few more.

I would try eating some grapes with the skin on first. They went down my band fine.

I don't have any trouble and grapes are a staple in my diet. Try and see, everyone is different.

I was wondering about this very thing this morning. I love grapes and would be sad to have to give them up.

Everybody is a different case and our bands react differently from one person to the other. I eat grapes and never had any problem whatsoever. Same goes for lettuce or any other kind of veggies or fruit, bread or pasta. It all goes down without problem (I just have to be cautious not to eat too much and to chew well...)

I have had no problem eating grapes or any other fruit that we normally eat with skin on. I have skinned grapes in the past and it is pretty easy. Wasabubblebutt explains well how to so it. BTW I was banded 21.06.07, have lost 48lbs with the pre and post op diet and have not had a fill yet

I've only been banded for a few days so I don't have the luxury of eating grapes yet.

However, I always have preferred my grapes peeled. I usually start at the top (where the grape is disconnected from the stem) and peel back like flowers on a petal. Yum yum!!!

I don't have a whole lot of restriction, but I can eat grapes with the skin on.

I can eat three or four grapes with the skin on, but then I have to stop for a while.

I have no problem eating grapes or any other kind of fruit.
