Spit or Swallow?

[BabySpoons 534]

I bought a watermelon at the Farmers market but it's not seedless. I cut and cubed half of it and it's chilling in the fridge. I love cold melon after my daily walk to help me rehydrate. Cantaloupe is another.

I spit most of the seeds out, but I missed a few. I know this would be a big no no early on before my stomach healed and risk one getting stuck in my incision line. At almost 5 months is this a potential problem blocking my anastomosis or will those seeds pass on through?

Yes, they are too small to create much of an issue.

Just to be clear, this is an opinion. Anyone who disagrees is obviously wrong

Good luck,

Tek

LOL@ Tek !!!!! I'm 3 months out and have been eating nuts for the last month or so. ( extra crunchy Peanut Butter )

No problem at all

I'm sure I've accidentally swallowed a big seed sometime in the eight years since my bypass. If it's too big too pass through, it'll either sit there until your stomach acid dissolves some or all of it, or your stomach will toss it back up. I've been on bariatric forums for about nine years, and I've never heard/read about issues with cantaloupe seeds mucking things up, so I'm guessing you'll be fine.
