Peanuts

I was wondering if this is something that we can have after surgery as long as they are chewed up very well. I know that in 1 oz there is 166 calories, 6.7 grams of protein, 6.1 carbs, and 14.1 grams of fat. I know that this is not something that we would want to at all the time, but as a meal at times? I do not want to mess up my success, please help!! Shelia

I personally stayed away from that sort of food b/c it seemed "snacky" to me and of course because of the high calorie value.. though a good source of protein, 1 oz. of peanuts will not fill me up and would be easy for me to over do

HI Sheila I took stay away from them and seeds that come on hamburger buns. My surgeron says that seeds and nuts can cause problems in the bowel and best if not eaten. Best of luck. Kathy

Shelia, Just wanted to say thank you four prev post and offering to get me some yogurt. You are to kind. But luckily I went to my local Walmart and they had it so of course I grabbed as many as I could. I was nice though I left maybe 2 or three for others..chuckle : o)

Hey Juanita! I tried the apple turnover this weekend. I got it from Walmart too. It was really good. You were right. I went to krogers yesterday to stock up on them and they didn't carry them! I guess I will have to make a special trip to the super walmart. I just hope it isn't the walmart you cleaned out! hehehe. Misty

(Giggle) I did get it at the Super Walmart in Springfield..They are hard to find. I never see them at Kroger at all. Glad you like them as well. I will try to leave more for you next time.. : O)

What kind of yougert are we talking about?would love to know. Annrenee nuts hummmmmm thinking we should stay away from

We are talking about Yoplait Light Apple turnover flavor..very yummy

Thank you I wrote it down, I will be trying that. any more good ideas of what to eat post op? yummmmmmy Annrenee

You might want to try the Carb Master yogurt from Kroger. It is higher in protein than other yogurt and will be a great way to get more protein immediately post-op. The other low fat, sugar free yogurts are good for new post-ops too. I just know how hard it is to get in your protein in those early weeks. Other foods that are good for new post-ops: cottage cheese refried beans & cheese (I added a little enchilada sauce like Taco Bell's Pintos & Cheese) Cream of Wheat Cream of Rice Grits & cheese SF popsicles SF pudding SF Jello pimiento cheese spread pureed chicken/tuna/egg salads scrambled egg IDS New Whey protein bullets - 25g and 42g - I get mine at The Vitamin Shoppe but you can get them online at bariatriceating.com or thevitaminshoppe.com I also liked: pureed Chunky soups - they tasted like adult food homemade chili, pureed - I used to like & recommend Wendy's chili but they have changed their recipe and I don't like it anymore. The Vitamin Shoppe brand high protein pudding mix - taste & texture like Jello brand instant pudding but has 25 grams of protein per serving. and, of course, protein shakes. Those recipes are a whole other post.
