Hello all. I am 4wks post op and doing well. I am curious to when people start adding fresh fruits into their diet. I am craving apples and start back to work on the 9th of Jan. I would like to meal prep and want to add apples, cottage cheese and other Protein for lunch. Please let me know when you added apples etc and how your body handled it.

Thanks,

Karen

Check with your surgeon. Fresh fruit, especially stuff with skins, was forbidden for a long time for me. They didn't want that stuff getting stuck in the suture line.

I was allowed to mix strawberries, blueberries and bananas into a smoothie with stonyfield plain yogurt. I have not had apples yet so not sure.

But that sure sounds good!

I would check with your surgeon or nutritionist. Grapes for example are a big no for me because of the skin (per my nutritionist).

For me at 4 weeks was still mostly soft foods.. Which apples wouldn't be..

I was allowed all fruits in major moderation per surgeon at 4 weeks. Some Fruits have a lot of sugar and carbs so i was limited to 2-3 servings a week. Grapes are not included in my diet per surgeon. Didn't ask why, don't care for the anyway.

Check with surgeon. Everyone's plan is different.

I wasn't allowed anything I couldn't cut easily with a fork for six months post-op. Also, low-protein, high-sugar foods such as fruit were supposed to be at the bottom of my list of possible things to eat.*

*foods like grains and sweets and starchy veggies were off the list completely, of course. Fruit was on the list but at the very bottom.

It is always important to follow your plan. I was allowed to try apples and oranges at 6 weeks. The apple was to be peeled. I did eat them without any problem. My surgery was mid October. I can eat any fruit, including the skin on apples . I usually have 1 fruit a day, either an apple or a clementine. I avoid things like grapes because of the high sugar content.

I was told that items such as grapes not till 5 months its like one of the last foods. Now I was told apples if they are peeled i could have at 2months.
