Fruits?

I am hoping to have surgery in June and we always have a bumper crop of watermelons and tomatoes in our garden, and those happen to be my very favorite summertime foods. Will I be able to incorporate them at all into my diet? In fact, how much fruit can one eat since it contains all that yummy natural sugar? Just wondering. Thanks, Susan

My guess would be no, but that depends on your surgeon. I wasn't allowed anything raw for the first several weeks. I still haven't tried many fruits/vegetables, but that's just me.

Hey Sister Susan.... I tend to stay away from the fruits as of yet. I'm just too afraid of the sugars they are loaded with. I am having to try and push bananas because of my potassium being low, but that has been a struggle for me. It has just been more than I can eat. I have done fine with the tomoatoes though. A little salt and pepper, and I am good to go! Susan Bertrand Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-241-155 (-44)

Susan well i can eat salad and some fruits ..bannans are gross to me now ( they wern't before ) and lets see apples seam to be hard on my stomach ...but eveything else i can eat fine ...only small amounts but they all sit fine with me really ......so i am sure you will be able to work them in and Watermelon is all water so that is totally good to eat ...i loved off of that last summer Laura
