I haven't eaten raisin bran, but I have eaten raisins with no problem. As for other fruits, so far I've eaten peaches, apples, oranges and pears, also without any problems.

I have an excellent recipe for raisin bran muffins that I make with Splenda...I have one for breakfast every morning! I haven't had any problems with raisins...a small handful at a time, too many will give me a slight "dumpy" feeling. I haven't run into a fruit yet that has given me a problem, but as always anything in moderation seems to be ok.

I LOVE raisin bran. I did find out though that it has a lot of sugar (20 grams per cup, if I remember correctly). I eat a cup anyway, when I want something sweet tasting, but lower in calories. I would love to have the raisin bran muffin with splenda recipe!

BEWARE the Raisin Bran - they vary a *LOT* in sugar content. I had been eating about a half serving a few times a week from months 2-6 - then I bought Post RB with 20 g of sugar instead of my usual brand (that had like 12). It was the worst I have dumped ever (almost 9 months out), and the only time since about week 8. I didn't read the box, I figured it couldn't be much different, I poured a little more than usual, it got soggier faster, so I eat a little quicker - I estimate I got about 23 g's of sugar in 15 minutes, I can only handle 12 or so. I haven't eaten any RB since. ANyway, yes, eat it, read the label. I dont eat a lot of fruit anymore cause the sugar bothers me (Though some people will tell you you cannot dump on fruit, not true for me). WHen I eat fruit, it is something I can have a little of, grapes, strawberries, not apples/oranges/pears, cause I can't eat the whole thing. Watermelon is good, I ate a lot of that early postop.

I haven't eaten raisin bran (don't care for raisins), but I have eaten bran flakes. I have eaten all types of fruits: apples, bananas, pears, oranges, plums, nectarines, mangos, papaya, etc. No problem with any of these.
