Thanks for the help...I'm on a sunflower seed kick right now..shelling them while I eat makes me eat less (I think). Also eating Chia seeds on salads and in smoothies. Isn't Chia seeds the same seeds they use on those Chia pet toys...LOL ? I also found some "dill" flavoured (Canadian spelling) peanuts. Yummy!!

@biginjapan I'm cleared for nuts....since 3 weeks post op. Have been doing fine with them.

@Jeffrey Stern, I only eat pistachios that are shelled. Make you work for them!!! LOL

.....and noooo, the chia seeds aren't from those pet toys! HAHA!

I stay away from nuts,(I'm on week three of my pre op diet)

If you're post op and allowed to have nuts I would just recommend looking up the caloric information for all nuts. Almonds are vastly different than say, a macadamia nut or pecan.

I've always enjoyed peanut butter, so I would buy the natural organic peanut butter that separates and pour off the oil on the top to reduce the fat some more-a little birdy taught me that trick. I still make it a habit to measure everything like that as well
