just my two cents here. but i'd trade the baby fruit for baby food veggies. less sugar. and before i say that she will get EVERYTHING back eventually how's she doing with her protein? that should really be her main focus right now.

my surgeon moves folks into lettuce rather quickly. like after a couple of weeks. as for other veggies, for right now, she needs to be careful of skin and seeds. i started with finely chopped tomatoes [like salsa and bruschetta topping]. skinned, de-seeded cukes are good too. see? the soft, juicy veggies first.

harder vegs like carrots work better if they're grated first. even now, more than 2 years postop.

hope this helps!! how is you sister doing?

Pookie - I'm not an authority but I have heard baby food prunes are a good source. Is she drinking enough water? If she is dehydrated that will slow things down.
