I just bought blueberry muffin mix at the store and really want to make them. I had surgery about 6 weeks ago, so I can start eating more boldly...are bluberries ok or are they likely to cause an obstruction?

They should be fine but with all new foods be sure to chew well. Are you making enough muffins to share with us?

I ate blueberry (with whole blueberries in it) yogurt 2 weeks after surgery and I was fine.

I eat blueberries all the time without any problem. They make my output looser and black in colour, though.

Same here. I had a blueberry muffin while still in the hospital. Just make sure everything you eat is chewed thoroughly.
