When did you begin to eat berries?

I am 5 weeks out of surgery, and in my "healthy weight for life" stage of eating.  I am dying for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries...Just wondering if I should wait a little longer or if these are ok to start to add?  My diet plan says to start with softer fruits at first, like pears, bananas, peaches.  I am a bit concerned about the small seeds. 

 

(btw, I am getting all my protein in every day, so the berries would be a fresh treat once in a while)

 

Thanks so much for the input!

I think about a month or so post op.

About a month or so too. Berries have never been a problem for me.

Thanks for your responses!  I think I'll try some tonight!

I didn't do so well on them for quite a while, but my pouch has always been kind of iffy.  Maybe check with your surgeon's office or just try a bite or two at first to see if you tolerate them.

I saw my nut on Tuesday n she said not for another month, I had RNY on 2/6

I was allowed once I reached the soft food stage = 4 weeks.

6 weeks for me....chewed up REALLY well. Started slowly to see how they sat . Now i have strawberries or raspberries almost everyday in my yogurt.  I had the most trouble with anything with a skin...apples, pears, grapes...had to peel. My pouch still doesn't like them much if not peeled at a year out.

Thank you all for your input.  I had a small strawberry tonight, chewed to oblivion.  No problems so far.  Might try blueberries tomorrow...

I was told no seeds/skins/nuts for 3 months.
