Watermelonnnnn

This was the fist thing I asked my doctor about WHEN I could have. I am happy to say, I can easily eat some watermelon with no issues.

I am 6 weeks post op. :)

I had my RNY in Dec 2012 and am not allowed fruit yet, so I am not so sure about the watermelon. I am just starting a little bit of veggies. My dietician said that once I can get my protein in and still have a little room left-then I can start trying out veggies-no corn or peas, no anything with a hull like that. No celery-due to the string. So, I had a little bit of canned beets as they are soft enough. And my pouch was OK with it.

Darn, I have 2 tickers going -I don't know how to get it to just one. I don't want two of them. Rats!

I LOVE WATERMELON!!!  One thing I did really early out is take chunks and freeze them. I put the frozen chuncks  in my Bullet and made a Watermelon Smoothie.   YEAH WATERMELON!!

watermelon smoothie sounds divine! if i get brave enough I'll try it

If you like watermelon  you will LOVE the smoothie.  I sometimes add a little salt to it................This is my FAVORITE "sweet" drink.

OMG! I just started craving watermelon a few days ago. I'll be trying it for my first time post-op soon as hubby gets back from the store! SO flippin excited! Hope I have the same delicious moments as YOU :) 

Most people aren't bothered by the fruit in sugar, but for throw who are, watermelon may be problematic.  A cup has only about 50 calories but has 9g of sugar (and it is easy to eat a LOT if you're not careful since it chews down to nothing).  I love it, but the ones we have here aren't very sweet yet.  Too early in the season, I think.

i have been on a watermelon kick myself as well as some ranier cherries, my favorites. the melon has been helping with my constipation too so a double bonus

Watermelon is the one thing that my stomach can't hold as much of as my mouth wants to eat.

I'm eating some right now!
