Question

I'm two weeks out post surgery.  I've already been cleared for soft foods (chicken, cottage cheese, etc).

Can I start eating fruit and veggies yet?  I seem to be tolerating all that I've been eating so far (except for yogurt, of all things!)

I started with well cooked carrots first.  Don't do anything raw yet.

Check your surgeon's food plan, since they are all very different.  My surgeon had a VERY liberal plan, though, and no fruits or veggies other than applesauce were on the list at only 2 weeks put.  Besides, you need every bit of pouch room right now to get in protein.

Nothing raw. I could not do fruit at hat point. Too many sugars. I enjoyed cooked carrots at that stage.

I don't know.  What does your surgeon's plan say?

With my doctor, most fruits and vegetables are not allowed until 8 weeks and preferably further out than that.
