That would be a no.

Eventually, though.

I don't remember how far out I had to be but I know it was a while.

Thanks for the responses. This is one thing I know now that I will have trouble with. I LOVE my fresh fruit. Nothing like it!!!

I love fresh fruit too, and salads. In the grand scheme of things, its really not that long, especially when you realize the surgery is giving you a life long tool. A couple of months going without something is not that much time. Good luck with your upcoming surgery, glad you're here!

Unsweetened apple sauce?

"Unsweetened applesauce, pureed canned / jarred peaches and pears in their own juice (not syrup), any fruit pureed without the skin, mashed ripe banana." 1/4C.

I was allowed to have it two weeks out as long as it was pureed.

I am12 weeks out and I have had all kinds of fruit since about week 10 and doing well

Early on lots of applesauce you may be able to puree some fruits a few weeks out

I'm still not eating FRESH fruit, and I love it too! I have eaten canned and pureed, but not the same.. I'm waiting.

We still get to enjoy fruit. I could have fruit starting at weeks 2&3 on my soft food stage. Remember to eat only one food at a time to see what settles. NOT everything settles at first. Unsweet applesauce, unsweet or pureed fruit without seeds. READ labels to be aware of sugar/syrups. I never liked canned. I use fresh just to be sure. Mashed fruit. No seeds. No peels. These can be in cottage cheese, sf/ff pudding, or yogurt too. Unflavored protein can be added to anything so you still get more protein. It was a few months before I could do seeds without wanting to spit them out or peels like grapes. Now they are no problem.

All plans are different, so you should go by your surgeon's plan. My plan says I can add fruits and veggies at week 6, peeled, cored and/or cooked to much, but it's a start.

Not in the beginning because of the chance for it to stick in your pouch,But,after you are healed yes you can.It is so worth the wait though. Remember you want to give your pouch plenty of time to heal.Following your doctors instructions to the T. My doctor told me of a gentlemen who ended up back in surgery because he did follow the instructions. They had to go in and take out the trapped food in his pouch.The guy almost died. We have this surgery to get healthy so you'd think we would follow instructions.;-)

Down 146 in 8 months and 100 to go.

everyone's doc is different, I have seen people on clear liquids fo weeks after, some have come home on pureed, some only a few weeks before they can go to soft food, so it will depend on your docs schedule. I was on pureed with in two weeks and could blend some soft fresh fruit......

After the 3rd week, I was told I could have packaged fruit that was packed in water or it's own juices (Not Syrup)

One of the companies that sells canned fruit, has snack pack sized containers of peaches in their own juice (about the size of a cup of yogurt or individual pudding or jello) and they're only 30 calories. It's not fresh fruit, but it sure tastes good.

I'm nine months out and am supposed to be able to eat any fruits. I've eaten plenty of applesauce, but have had a hard time with peeled fresh apples. I have had oranges, strawberries, bananas, tangerines, plums, peaches and more with no problems though.
