I dont see much on here in regards to fruit consumption. I'm not banded yet and wanted to know if fruit was a no no.

I eat fruit daily in small portions, but fruit should always be consumed in the morning and not late evenings due to the sugar content and carbs.

I love watermelon and find it easier to swallow the juice but I admit to spitting out the meaty part after the juice goes down. I also eat grapes and cherries, again spit out any hulls from any fruit that doesn't digest well like apples hules, peach skin or any thing that feel like it may be heavy to get stuck going down.

I have not found a fruit that doesn't make me pb- even if I chew it like a crazy lady! Mango- my favorite- is the worst! I should try to make some smoothies, I suppose!

i love fruit, even in my sleep

Just about everything hurts to eat. So I'm focusing more on liquids that are high in Protein which includes fruit smoothies.

I love mixed berry, with organic blueberry, rasberry, strawberry and then blended with ice, organic yogurt, and Pom blueberry/pomegrante juice or Pom cherry/pomegrante juice. Mango, Orange, banana smoothies are great too! And if I have to leave the house in the hurry, starbucks has good ones with between 16 and 21 grams of protein.

I really was glad that i saw this form about fruits... BEfore my band i loved eating pineapple, and now almost a month and i have a hard time with pineapple and i 'm so disappointed. I Just have to drink the juice i guess. :thumbup:

I like fruit and try to eat it daily as it does help keep things "moving." I just don't always "think" about it and will end up grabbing something else instead. Trying to change that. I'm on a white nectarine kick right now and that's helping me get more fruit in. At the Farmer's Market the other day they had "Nectaplums" and those are SOOOOO good! Love them! Pluots are another one that I'm liking a lot right now.

Tahan, I'm hoping you don't mean you're only a month out from surgery and you're trying to eat fruit? Double-check your food guidelines from your surgeon on that one. I couldn't eat fruit for the first 8-9 months according to my surgeon and a month out, I was still on soft foods. Be careful!!!

I eat 3-4 fruit every day.. more than veggies, but that is due to personal preference. I love blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, grapes, nectarines, apples, bananas, etc. I don't have an issue eating any of them, even the skin. My surgeon said to limit fruit, due to calories, to 1-2 per day, but I have never listened to that. :biggrin: I think everyone is different.. you will need to experiment and see.
