I take fybogel and I am fine with it but are you sure you can take big gulps at your stage? You have to be able to down 150 mils in 1 to 2 goes max or else it is too thick to swallow. I am not sure it would be okay for a newly post-op person like yourself. As for stawberries, I ate them early on and was okay. Everyone has a different tolerance level so just go slow and only progress as recommended by your team. Do you plan to blend or puree them, are you on solid foods yet? If you are on solids you should be okay as they are a soft fruit with very soft skin. And as long as they are blended well you should be okay on purees.
