when can i start eating these fruits?

I dove right into to everything right after takedown. I love fruit. I think you are fine trying these. Just start off will a small amount to see how you tolerate it and chew well. Enjoy!

Fq- I had my takedown around the same time as you. I just got the green light from my surgeon to introduce everything back into my diet. So far I've tried cantaloupe and mangos and it seemed fine. I haven't had fruit with skin yet but I guess I'll try soon. Good luck

You can eat anything you want. If you're worried about how it will affect you, try eating a small amount.

I'm about 4 weeks out and my surgeon told me told go home and eat some blueberries! I got the go ahead for pretty much everything. I did have an obstruction/ stricture and needed re-dilation before takedown so he told me I couldn't eat corn for a few more weeks.

Start small and see what happens. For me the worst thing with veggies and fruit is how they come out. Usually watery with butt burn. Chew well.

Just call your surgeon and ask. I've found that most of my fears or questions are eased with a quick call to my nurse, surgeon, or GI

i fear the burn !!!! guess i need to apply lots of cream first. maybe combining the fruit with cheese could help?

i dont like experimenting cuz i try the 'experiment' (new food, fiber, etc.), then wait there anticipating a not-so-good after effect! usually nothing major happens, but the burnnnn...ow!. this pouch has me extra alert and sensitive to every sensation! wish i could relax a little

I've got a loop ileo right now and I'm eating
a lot of those fruits. The doc said they're fine
as long as there's no skin or seeds.

I eat all of my fruits, except bananas, in protein smoothies. Blueberries are best when I throw them in my blender with a banana, vanilla protein powder, lots of ice and some coconut water. Then I mix in my daily VSL#3DS. I end up with 3-4 fruit servings, hydrating coconut water, my probiotics and 42% of the daily required protein.

I also use apple and white grape juice. They loosen things, can be used to help rid small blockages. I'd just say stay away from skins as they come straight through, unless you blend them. Pineapple is best in the blender. All melons are good.

The skins aren't bad for you if they come straight through, they add to butt burn.

Calmoseptine cream is my number one defence against veggies. I put it on as a preventative measure. It helps protect the skin so there isn't any burn. Also, if you start to feel a block drink lots of water and take a hot bath. I found that pineapple and corn were the worst for me (I can eat them both now in small doses without issue)

I started eating blueberries and melons the day I got released from the hospital after takedown. I also eat steak and corn on the cob. Not sure if I'm playing with fire but I haven't been burned yet I'm three weeks out and have not found anything I cannot eat. Although I haven't tried popcorn. I do however pile on the peanuts when eating ice cream!
