 I ate about 1 oz of steak and fish, and about 1 hour later, tried to eat some strawberries and Greek yogurt.  It was too much, I threw the rest away.

 I'm planning on having strawberries and Greek yogurt today too! It's my first shot so trying for a couple tablespoons. :)

Surgeon said 1 strawberry is 1 carb and it's delicious if you blend it. Might give that a shot tomorrow.

 econtiff,

What stage are you on? Mine are Liquids 2 weeks(Current 1 more week to go), pureed 2 weeks, mushies/soft 2 weeks, then I can start real food... What stage would you say the strawberries and greek yog would be? I think I can have yog i eat pudding broths pops and a few other things

 I'm on full liquids. Surgeon does full liquids days 4-9. But he said he wanted me to consider pureeing a few things. I haven't yet but asked him today and he said greek yogurt was fine. He said on Thursday he wants me to start soft foods. Eggs and fish. That's days 9-16. 

He's very liberal and doesn't want all the liquid time. He wants me to learn how I'm supposing to be eating as soon as possible and incorporate it. I am taking things a little slower than he recommends though. Just based on what I'm seeing on here and learning my sleeve.  

So it seems like I'll be on real food at about the time you are done with liquids. Crazy the differences right?

I'm surprised he ok'd the strawberry seeds....  Edited: Just saw Ms. poker face.. I was told to avoid all things with seeds until 2 months.

Plans are so different! 

Good luck with the combo! You can always just try one thing at a time.  Then you'll know what bothers you.

I have been wondering about this but I haven't seen it in writing anywhere. I was planning to avoid the seeds like in Strawberries even though I hadn't been specifically told to. Sounds like trouble to me.

Are there seeds on the inside of a strawberry or just the outside? Could you maybe cut off the outside seeds and just use the "meat" of the strawberry?
