Fruit anyone?

I am going crazy with the melons in season. It is so weird that I can eat so much and feel so good. I have been having so much trouble eating and feeling badly since my surgery, especially starch or fat. Sometimes chicken or tuna doesn't feel so good. I feel lucky that I can tolerate fresh fruit. But scared that I can eat as much as I can, plus there is no protein. My bad. I know. What about you guys?

I'm doing good with fruit too. I'm trying not to eat too much of the sweeter ones since I'm deathly afraid of dumping, lol. But I'm all for them!

I try to limit my fruit intake because it it very high in "natural" sugars. Last night as a treat I pureed 1 cup of fresh jersey strawberries and added them to 1 gallon of crystal light lemonade....strawberry lemonade!! It was SOOOO good!!! Dawn

I'm sitting here eating about a cup of sliced up strawberries right now and have grapes in the FREEZER for later on today. I've noticed that I can eat maybe 6 grapes and that's about it.... I guess the natural sugar in the grapes is what is getting to me. Susan

Oh how I envy those who can eat strawberries!!! I had problems with them a couple of times and I am now scared to try them again. But I can ea****ermelon and this weekend I had mandarin oranges! MMMM yummy. I know I'm supposed to avoid citrus but that is one of my biggest downfalls, I used to eat oranges and drink lemonaide like it was going out of style. I know that Crystal Light Lemonade has been helping me thru this difficult time but sometimes it's just not the same as real fresh squeezed. My next favorite fruit is Pineapple, so the other day I bought some crushed in it's own juice, it's still on the shelf since I'm a little chicken to try it. Dana

Hey - I'm so glad you posted this! I was kind of freaking out too how much fruit I can eat and feel okay. I love strawberries, grapes and watermelon. I know it has very very little protein there but it's sooo good for a snack. I really have to watch it thought b.c I could eat it all day and I'd get no protein in!

I eat some fruit almost every day. Its strawberries (also high in iron!), blueberries and the other day I ate a few bites of pineapple. Banana's, too, but they cant be too ripe. Fruit was given an OK by my program. The days I eat more fruit (or veggies) I will have a larger or second protein suppliment to ensure I meet my numbers. The weeks when I go this approach are the weeks when I drop more weight.

Hello I'm able to eat strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple & apricots. The only trouble I have is melons (allergic) and bananas. Fruit is just as importanat as protein. Carly

Hey J. I am head-over-heels in love with watermelon right now. I have it almost every day (although not a whole lot of it). It is like liquid crack for me. Enjoy! Hugs, Jersey

I am in LOVE with fruit...melon, watermelon (yum, yum), strawberries (and then slice them and put some splenda on them until they get juicy and have with a touch of cool-whip..yum yum YUM), grapes, apple, pineapple, ANYTHING. I love it. I do not dump at all on them, though I try not to eat too much. Once I went through a TON of watermelon though...I think if I didn't stop myself I could just keep eating, and eating, and eating...
