Nuts!!!

Does anyone know if nuts are bad to eat I know that certain ones are high in protein?? does anyone eat them and at what stage were you allowed to eat them??? I am craving nuts soooooo bad!!!

I am not an expert, but I am a RNY patient and I think it is way to early for you to start eating nuts.  I do eat them now and almonds are a good source of protein.  I use almonds alot when I bake or cook.  I put them in my food processor and grind them up.  I also snack on them.  I don't think I started eating nuts until I was out at least 6 months or more.  I am out over two years so it is hard for me to remember.  Check with your NUT or maybe someone else on here will post.  I know how those cravings are.

yeah i love to eat nuts but there is a certain point after surgery that you can eat them.  Call the doc and ask him! 

Hi Rick,

Each program varies a great deal on the nutritional aspect, but I doubt that you'll be able to consume nuts just yet. Please contact your NUT with your program to confirm. Once you are able to consume them, they are a wonderful, flavorful way to add protien to your diet. They are high in fat, but also provide other nutrients and make a great snack ... measured of course, or addition to a salad.

Wishing you all the best,

I remember when I got a craving for peanuts...  I got really sick after eating like FOUR of them so I try to stay away from them.  I ate some slivers of almonds a couple of months ago and found out the hard way that I was allergic to them.  OMG...the vomitting was worser than when I had my first obstruction. No nuts for me!!
