Anybody have a problem eating fruit?

I recently tried watermelon, and did it on 3 occasions. Each time, I thought I was going to get sick and had to lie in an easy chair for a couple of hours until the nausea subsided. lso, I got the same feeling from eating raw fish (sashimi) , but for the first time since sleeved 7 months ago, I was able to put down some Hawaiian poke tuna with no side effects. Anybody have similar food problems?

Watermelon is pretty darn high in carbs. If you haven't been eating many carbs, this could have spiked and crashed your blood sugar, and thus the nausea. It could also have been dumping which some sleeve patients get from time to time. Has it ever happened with any other high carb foods?

i agree with @Navigating the Wilderness.

I've had fruit as a snack on its own a few times, and I got a little queasy about half the time. so now, I always eat fruit as part of a meal and don't have a problem anymore.

Also, are you chewing well and still eating slowly? Whenever I forget, and eat the way I used to, I feel sick for a while.

I just make smoothies, and they only contain frozen strawberries, frozen bananas, frozen blueberries, and milk. That's it. Have had this since a week after surgery and have had no issue whatsoever. It's actually rather filling. I make them very thick, rather than watery.

Curious, I thought we couldn't have fruits with seeds until like 6 weeks after. (Strawberries, blueberries)

I've only gotten this with watermelon so far. Cherries and oranges have been fine. I'm chewing well and eat slowly, usually 15-20 minutes per meal...

My tummy doesn't care for most fruits. I don't get a strong reaction, just a general discomfort. Apples, oranges, watermelon, and cherries don't feel good. Bananas and blueberries have been pretty good. Peaches are ok. Tomorrow I'll try black raspberries.

I can do bananas and cantaloupe.
