FRUIT
I've had watermelon without a problem and you're right - you can eat a bunch in one sitting. Tried banana without a problem but only a little bit at a time. It's kind of dense and I seem to fill up pretty quickly on it. The other thing I tried was an orange but it was too much work. LOL I couldn't chew up the outside of the section well enough and ended up just eating the insides.
If I'm going to have to work so hard at something I think I'll give shrimp a go!

I have been a little hesitant about adding fruits, even though the nutritionist said I could. I have had 1/3 of a banana about 4 times, I have had about 4 bites of pineapple 2 different times. I tried a strawberry, but after about 3 bites...from the same strawberry...I could tell it wasn't settling well, so I quit eating them and decided to wait another month and try again. That is all I have tried so far - although now that it is getting closer to watermelon season in New England (well shipped in watermelon) I am anxious to try that for a snack...sounds good - wish I had some now!

Ive had apples, grapes, bananas, fresh pineapple, strawberries... umm thats all I can think of right now.
I don't dump on fructose.... Fresh pineapple is an occasional treat cause its high in sugar.
I don't ea****ermelon cause it doesn't fill you at all, its pretty much eating sugar water, and it has no fiber or anything good to it.... we had a talk about it last night at support group... it's hard cause at this stage it's so wet and good LOL
I have had watermelon and cantelope, both of which I chew and spit out the fiberous part My doc's office is okay with this. I do it mostly because I don't need that sitting in my pouch AND I've already gotten the juice and vitimans out of it anyway. Odd thought but works for me!
I have also had the manderine oranges...yum!
watermellon is good but I only have 1/2 a cup at the time - have had that 3 or 4 times (same watermellon LOL)
grapes are great too - sometimes I eat the skin sometimes not just depends on how the first one sits in mr pouch
apples are ok but I only can eat 1/8 or less so that anoys
1/3 of a bananna or 1/3 cup frozen blueberries make up for no sugar or sweetener in my high fiber ceral and blueberries are high fiber at that
oh and cantalope was good to, mango did not apeal niether did kewi-just the wrong flavor to me that day
