Watermelon junkie!

Wifey brought home a watermelon last night and being 2 1/2 months post-op I decided to have me some. Then some more. Then another 2 or 3 bites. So very very good. I was worried that it would make me dump but I was fine with it. Anyone have trouble with it? It will be just an occasional thing for me. Thanks.

I had a 1/4x1" slice of watermelon at lunch Wednesday.  I did feel a bit sick afterwards, but it could have been my not-so-great entree selection (fried grouper, about 1/3 fillet eaten, small amount of peas also).  No major issues, though, and yes, it tasted very good.

I havent tried WM yet - but I have been eating a lot of cantaloupe and man is that good.  Not a problem for me and it really helps out with the sweet tooth.  I'll be trying the WM tonight. Chris

I have had it before and it was really good and I didnt have any issues at all. I am still wondering why my Dr. said to avoid it? Is it too much natural sugar or something?

My name is Danny and I'm a FRUITAHOLIC! Seriously......I have discovered that fruit does not bother me.  The only thing I have to be a little careful with is bannanas and strawberries.  Those seem to be super sugary for me for some reason. But melon...........watermelon, cantalope, honeydew.........stand back!!  I'm goin in! I actually find myself craving fresh fruit now.  That's a new experience for me.  I was never much of a fruit eater pre-op unles it had been deep fried or wrapped in a pie crust!

He Guys, I can be totally stupid with watermellon..it goes down smooth...even it it ain't sweet...splends will fix that.... but i have a tendency to go overboard, then it's like drinking  a lot of tea...I fill up all the way from the bottom.. but no cantalope.....oh no....I don;t dump, but that **** is juicy, and slippery, and it wants to slide down unchewed....it just kinda slips past me...and makes me yak!!! you boys enjoy the summer fruit russ

Wheee....LOL; Russ, Good one.

I started eating watermelon and cantaloupe at about 3 months out and have been eating it occasionally ever since with no problems. Now I am hooked on dill pickles.

It's funny that you posted this, because I was about to post a fruit -related strain.

I have eaten watermelon many times over the past month. It seems to sit really well. Nice and hydrating.

Yesterday my wife and I stopped by the local Hmong strawberry stand. Since they were some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten, we decided to buy and freeze a few flats. They're great for smoothies.

As I stemmed them and placed them on the tray to freeze them I popped a few into my mouth. THen a few more...more..more. I WAS LIKE AN ADDICT! I must have eaten two full baskets while I was working. It was mildly disturbing, but oh so delicious. Luckilly strawberrries are very low in sugars, so I didn't dump. phew.

It's funny how after avoiding sugar like the plague for 6 months now, fruits taste so much better.

I’ve never had any problem with water melon. I don’t eat a crazy amount like I did pre-op, But, 0 problems with it. My "Fruit of choice" is Strawberries. Totally addicted to those and Granny-Smith Apples. Best Wishes- Dx
