Fruit?

[wildthing]

Hiya guys,

Anyone have trouble eating fruit with the band? I struggle with apple, grapes and prunes, haven't really tried anything else...

Hi hunny, I am not entirely sure as I haven't had the op myself but I know that when i eat certain fruits or veg that my stomach gets really bloated. I wonder weather thats whats happening? My Dad has a colostomy and he can't eat quite a lot of foods as the wind they create causes him problems. Hope this helps! Perhaps you could google it and see if there are foods you should be avoiding?

I am able to tolerate most fruit, bananas are my main problem.

Strawberries go down well, as does mango and melons.

Hi

I was told that apples can be a problem post op so I have stayed away from them. No probs with grapes and banana's although cant eat a full one! also strawberries are fine.

I can manage all soft fruit. Blue berries are my current fave. when I had my first fill though, I did get a grapeskin stuck so am now far more careful about chewing properly. x

Hiya
I cant eat bananas, oranges, sometimes if I do not chew properly grapes will reappear on me.

I can manage raspberries, and blueberries ok, strawberries have to be cut into small, small pieces, otherwise they take the same route as the grapes.

I was told to not eat fibrous fruit, i.e pineapple, and i have steered cleared of it since I had my band fitted. I struggle with lettuce, unless it is shredded, tomatoes have to be chopped small. Sometimes spring onions get stuck, so I try to keep them chopped small also.
I dont know about you others, but I am adding things almost daily to my "cant eat" list :wave_cry::wave_cry:

Thanks Mazza, yeah, I'm pretty chuffed so far - think the next 100lbs will be much harder though x

I can't eat apples unless peeled as skin gets stuck, oranges dont break up enough so they stick, grapes have'nt tried but bananas are ok if I really chew and mush up. Veggies are fine if they're well cooked.
