Question about fruits...
I'm only 6 days post op and was wondering if it's ok to use fruits in my protein shakes.. I'm on a full liquid diet and I have so many ideas for shakes but just not sure if a banana or strawberries or blueberries are too much for me.
Did anyone else out there use fruits so early out???

I'm allowed to put fruit in my protein... I haven't tried protein yet (begin tomorrow) but it was okay'ed by my NUT because it becomes a liquid in the shake. Hope this helps!!

watch out though, fruit has a lot of sugar, so if you use, say, banana, try only a couple of inches.... too much might make you dump, and you want to limit calories, not buff them up with lots of fructose.

Many cannot tolerate fruit early out for a variety of reasons. Rule of thumb--if it's not on your list, don't eat it! It was not part of my diet for at least 3 months but that varies from program to program.
