Grapefruit and other fruit??

How far out do you have to be before you can eat any fruits? I have a craving for a grapefruit but do not know how far out before I can eat it. Christie 4 weeks post op

Christie, My Dr. recommended to stay clear of grapefruit and oranges for at least 6 months. The skins are a little tough to digest. I was told from others you can eat the segments with little problem as long as you leave skin alone but I would wait for a bit. Only four weeks out I would be concerned about a grouchy pouch. Debbie

Christie I love grapefruit. Since I was on cholesterol meds, I couldn't eat grapefruit for a few years. Now I get the crystal light Red grapefruit drink, and mix my protein in it. MMMMM. I started to eat the real thing about 3 months ago. I peel it and section it and put it in a baggie. I try to peel off the membrane and eat only the meat. I can only eat a little, but I do love it. When I was just out of the hospital I used to suck the juice out and throw away the rest. Good luck. Keep up the good job Christie. I know it isn't always easy, but you are doing fine.

Elissa, I went to the dietician today and she told me that I could have some I was jumping for joy! The crystal light grapefruit where do you get this at? I have not seen it at the store....also, does it take like grapefruit juice? Christie

Christie, Not everyplace has it. Safeway does. It is red grapefruit and it is my favorite. It is actually pretty good. Shop Rite, Acme and Super G do not have it. I stock up when I see it. Elissa
