Fruit has a lot of natural sugars in it and it may cause you to dump

so I would be very cautious at this point if I were you. If you are

newly post-op (and if I remember correctly I believe you are) you

need to be very careful of portions and chewing. You may be having

trouble with other food because you may be taking just one bite too

many. Try cutting back slightly at mealtime.

We need to rewire our thinking. Eating does not need to fill us up.

It needs to satisfy and fuel us. After surgery our bodies have the

tool to let us know when we are satisfied. It takes time to get used

to using it.

Amy, I read SOMEWHERE??? that some fruits are too fibrous at this

point, early after surgery. Unfortunately, the only fruit that I

remember being on the list was mango, because that was the only one I

was wanting at the time. I am almost sure I found it in one of the

links, but WHERE? (I wasn't very helpful, eh?)
