Fruits/Veggies

What kind of fruits and veggies are you eating, with summer fast approaching, I find myself wanting to try allot of the seasonal veggies and fruits. I think it good for others to see what others are having for new ideas.

Fruits: Watermelon pears peaches seedless grapes (I take the skin off though) strawberries Vegies: Greenbeans beets lettuce cucumber asparagus (only really tender though) cauliflower broccoli I stay far away from carrots, and haven't tried tomatoes yet, although tomato juice, soup, and sauce is fine.

My nutrionist told me to try the melons and other fruits that that are juicy as I needed the fiber content. Fresh veggies, I am staying away from green leafy ones except broccoli.

I can do most fruits provided that they are fully ripe.. juicy... vegies have been a real problem for me... salad greens have not sat well...canned vegies do better than fresh(yuck).. though i have been adding frozen peas to everything i can think of.. just to assure I get some vegies in Andie

I can eat pretty much whatever I want. I don't eat much potato though. Same with corn. Just a taste. I can not eat much salad either all though it goes down fine. I haven't had a problem with anything Ihave tried yet. I don't eat apple skin but I do eat grape skin. Just chew well.

I have to struggle to get all my protein in so usually don't have much room for fruits and veggies. EXCEP****ERMELON! I scare myself with how much watermelon I can eat. My other standby is cantaloupe. Doc says no fresh vegies until 4 months so I stick to cooked when I have them. Yellow squash is my fav. Connie

I am 2.5 mos. post op and eat all fruits and veggies. I eat them cooked or raw and mostly use fresh ones. Watermelon is very refreshing but at 50cal. per cup I have to be careful. I could eat 4 cups in one sitting, and probably more. Enjoy. Louise

I like oranges, strawberries, bananas, cantaloupe,honeydew. I can have apples, skinned. Everyone raves abou****ermellon, I haven't had it yet. ***Watch out for Grapes. They have a higher sugar content and I dumped on them. *** For vegetables, I can eat any of them if they're cooked. For raw so far I've really only had tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. Best of luck, Jen

I am eating almost any fruits/veg. Dr. says watermelon is great because of the water, low sugar and we can eat enough to satisfy the urge to eat. I haven't tried corn yet...too starchy. Nothing has bothered me yet.
