Anyone have trouble with fruits?

I am just planning ahead.  I know fruit is high in sugar (naturally).  Have any of you had any trouble with any fruits and dumping?  I LOVE fruit...swear I could live on it.  So I am hoping I don't have to avoid any of it. Do you try to stick with certain fruits/veggies that are lower in carbs?  Are there certain fruits or veggies you try to avoid?

I hope for you sake you can have some.  I remember Stephanie saying she can only have so much, but a co worker/with same surgery can have much more.  Again, i'm sure everyone is different.  I'm learning that from reading on here.  I would die without my BANANA every morning.  you sound like your doing great.  keep up the good work.  and those babies are soooo cute.   CHeryl

I have not had trouble yet but have not really had much yet just no sugar added applesauce and banana.

I don't have any trouble with fruit at all.  I eat an apple a day, including the peeling. It doesn't bother me at all.  But I waited until I was a few months out before trying it.    The only fruit I haven't tried it banana.  I am not a fan and I hear they are very high in natural sugar.  But they may not bother me anyway, I swear I have a pouch of steel.

Good to know.  I love strawberries, blueberries, watermelon etc when it is warm out.  I could eat an apple a day as well.  I am hoping nothing is really off limits, just in a small quantity.  By nothing I don't mean a candy bar---I can do without those.   I mean all fruits and veggies, all types of meat, spicy foods etc.

oh, I take one back.  I tried Watermelon like 2 months out.  Nada! Real heavy feeling.  But I will try it again this summer. And unfortunately, a guy at work has a whole jar of the dove chocolate.  I can eat 4 of those little evil buggers with no problem. 

Tanya,    I haven't had any problems with any fruits (bananas included) and I'm 7 months out. Everyone is different but the trick is to take it slow and easy trying one fruit at a time. The sugar in fruits is a natural sugar not a processed one. It's better to eat the fruit then to drink the juice!  As I said, the trick is slow and easy. You should be able to eat virtually anything (within reason) as you get further out from surgery.    I can have chocolate, but it doesn't appeal to me anymore. Although they now say that chocolate isn't as bad for you as was first thought! Take Care. Hope this helps. Anne

Hi Tanya, I am 17 months out and can eat most fruits I have tried.  During the first year it was mostly bananas, blueberries, strawberries and apples.  I now eat pears, peaches, nectarines, oranges, fresh pineapple, grapes, mangos and my new thing is dates.  Someone from my office building brought us back some fresh dates from Iraq and they were so good.  Very high in natural sugar, but they don't bother me.  They are like eating dessert. Like most have already stated, it's a matter of trying small portions at a time and see how you react.

Hey Ronda, It's so great to see you back on the board!  How have you been?  What have you been doing? I haven't seen you post in a long time. Hope all is well with you. ~dori~

I could not eat fruits until about 9 mos out. Now I can eat bananas, oranges, grapes,apples,berries most all. I followed my nut recomendations though. I also can now eat all veggies even the gasser ones, like cabbage, brocolli etc. Tanya do what they tell you though. Good luck, Pam
