Eat Melons After Gastric Bypass SurgeryNumerous gastric bypass surgery survivors say melon to be one of the easiest of fruits to enjoy after surgery. Melons are more often than not low in natural sugar, right on flavor and easily digestible. They are rich in vitamin c, vitamin a, potassium, vitamin b6, folate and dietary fiber. How to choose and store The key to purchasing a quality melon is to find one that is mature. If you thump the melon with the palm of your hand and hear a hollowed out sound, the melon has surpassed ripe. Choose a melon that seems overweight for its size, and one that does not have bruises or excessively soft spots. Melons & food borne illness With the existence of heightened sensitivity to foods and food borne ailments gastric bypass surgery patients must exercise extreme food safety precautions. Follow these elementary guidelines to help keep your fruit fresh as well as safe. If you buy cut melons, be sure they have been buried in ice or displayed in a refrigerated case, not just displayed on top of ice. Uncut melon does not need to be kept refrigerated. Before cutting, the outer surface of the melon should be cleansed with drinking water to take off surface dirt. Hands and all equipment and utensils (cutting boards, knives, etc.) need to be cleaned exhaustively with warm soapy water, and rinsed. Cut melons must be refrigerated at 41 f or under. Cut melons can be served without refrigeration for a maximum of 4 hours (such as at a brunch, picnic, or buffet). At the end of that time, any leftover melon has to be thrown away. A handful of simple serving ideas: Add some effervescent water to freshly squeezed cantaloupe juice for a delightfully refreshing drink in the warm months of the year. Use a blender or food processor, puree cantaloupe and peeled soft peaches to make scrumptious frigid soup. Use lemon juice and sweetener (sparingly) to your preference. Top off cantaloupe slices with yogurt, and crushed mint. Slice melons in halves horizontally, scoop up out seeds and use each half as a basket in which to serve fruit salad.
