I didn't try fruit until a month out, I was scared of the sugar content. As for the oranges, you might be careful of the acid content in them, they might not agree with your pouch.

If you are permitted fruit at your post op stage, mandarins would certainly taste good. Eat very few at a time, and try to have protein at the same time (a bit of cheese).

There are 18g sugar in a half cup. You might want to be careful and just have a bite or two, just in case.

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f*ckin' perfect.

I eat them, but I didn't start until after I was 6 months out, and I only eat about 4 wedges as a serving, with a protein rich meal. They are yummy and certainly refreshing to me! :D

Maybe in a soon but not now category, it really depends on your doctor's plan!!

I eat them now but I didn't try them that early out. In fact I'm eating some right now on a chicken/garlic/ flat out flat bread pizza. YUMMMM.

That being said do be careful when you try them. I can't eat fresh oranges or Orange juice (tummy gets upset) but the canned fruit I have no problem with (go figure. LOL).

I saw some last weekend marked no sugar added. They were packed in water. It was either at BJ wholesale or Walmart. Pears too.

Later? Maybe. Now? You probably shouldn't for reasons others have already stated.
