Watermelon?

Oh wow thanks!!!

Yeah,what Carmalita said.Watermelon is not good for you especially during weight loss. Google the glycemic chart and you will see which fruits are good and which aren't.

Ok... Thanks

I love watermelon. Its a big thing in our home, so when I was in my puree stage I sucked the juice out of a couple pieces. Im now 7 weeks out and yesterday ate one (maybe two) cubes of it. I don't have a problem breaking it down, but I will agree with others that it feels like I am full and almost like its "stuck" going down if I don't really focus on breaking it down. I will crew with my back teeth then bring it to the front and break it apart that way. Ive also crewed a bunch and then spit what was left out just because I couldn't chew anymore. Its all a choice, if you cant live without it then try it. BUT no more than probably 1 cube and you really have to break it down or you will be in pain.

Thank you I appreciate each of you sharing... This thing is definitely a learning process because everyone has a different opinion or Dr.'s Plan. My NUT gave me guidelines that I visit a couple times each day but everything is still not exactly clear to me. The NUT at the hospital where I had my surgery at gave me something different that progresses my diet a lot sooner like every 3-5 days according to tolerance but I guess I'll keep asking question and googling stuff to gain the most information I can and take it from there thanks again

I actually have no problem with watermelon, I chew it to smithereens and only eat a tiny bit, 1/4 to maybe 1/2 cup, and not that often.  All those graduation parties I went to this summer had fruit salad and that was my salvation.  (along with the meatballs)

There always is an odd one out and I guess this time it is me.

I ate watermelon and cantaloupe early out and they were one of the first fruits I could tolerate. They were OK on my plan after week  2. I didn't eat much, because getting protein in took all the room I had at first. But I did eat a little without a problem. I don't have problems with my blood sugar and fruit does not trigger me to eat more bad foods like it does some people. If it did, I would avoid it.

Thank you... I don't have blood sugar issues either. I'm 7 days out tomorrow :) I'm in no rush just trying to figure out different ways to keep myself hydrated.
