I think what we're "meant to eat" needs to be adjusted slightly for those with significant amounts of fat to lose. Once you are healed and your body weight has stabilized you may very well be able to enjoy more fruit during the Summer but for now I wouldn't get too hung up on what we're all meant to eat on all accounts. We weren't meant to get fat either so I think some of these rules don't work so well for us while we're on our way to finding our new normal.
What I do with fruit is use it as a treat. This has worked well for me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would live to see the say where a crisp apple or juicy pear or super sweet banana would send chills down my spine yet that's pretty much what happens. I don't eat fruit on any sort of regular basis. I can't afford to. I turn to fruit when I get that itch to eat something special, when I feel a need to treat myself or comfort myself or fill some other emotional or mental need. When I'm tired and cranky and most others would rip into a bag of chips or a pint of B&J I go get fruit. I do this with nuts and sweet potatoes as well. I was never able to stop using food as an emotional crutch of sorts so learning to use healthy, paleo foods for my crutch was an important step for me in finally losing weight and keeping it off. This might be something you could try? Buy one and hold onto it and see how you can use it in your life to make you feel happy and satisfied. When you really crave it or need to treat yourself make it a special event and enjoy the heck out of it. It probably won't hurt your weight loss and if it helps you mentally to be happy staying the course then I'd say that's a very good thing.
