Anybody have a problem eating fruit?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
