Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Why can't the worst fruit for us be something really gross like Coconut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 > Why can't the worst fruit for us be something really gross like Coconut? Well according to Pacific Bariatrics, it is! PB had a lot of patients early on where were Filipino, and they cook with a lot of fresh coconut. Did you know that coconut doesn't break down in your stomach, like ever? After a few had to be scoped for the same reason, and some other research was done, it was part of our food protocol that we never, ever eat fresh coconut. I do eat the coconut that comes in the bag from the store, because it's small enough to pass, but I wouldn't eat large flakes of the fresh stuff on a dare. Never been scoped, don't wanna! ~~ Lyn G (who agrees that it would be much more fair if we could eat more watermelon!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Sorry if I missed something, but why can't we eat watermelon? I'm newly post-op (9 days), and just trying to get a good handle on things. I read this group every day, and I've learned oodles from you all. If we can't eat watermelon, are there other fruits also that I should know about? Coconut won't bother me, cause I NEVER put it past my lips. Never liked it, not even on the german chocolate cake. I'd forgo the cake cause of the coconut, and I'm a 'chocoholic' big time. Yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Watermelon. LOTS of candies have less sugar than this. 2 C = 25g sugar, same as a Milky Way I'm with you. Coconut is not causing any trouble with this girl, cuz it can't get in. Yuck. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
