Are we allowed to have them?

I love Cashews. And I know nuts are an excellent source of Protein. But can we digest them properly now and all that good stuff? I'd hate to think I could never have a cashew again in my life :wacko:

Anyone know?

How far out are you? And the answer is yes!! I love nuts. In moderation of course. For me they are a slider. I can eat a lot.

I love to eat nuts! Especially cashews. They are so delicious. Of course we need to eat them in moderation. :) Great Protein by the way.

I'm just 6 weeks out. Was just wondering... Saw a Planters Nuts commercial on TV a few minutes ago and it got me thinking lol.

Yes! I eat about an ounce daily! Macadamia nuts and cashews are devine- I measure out an ounce and take them with me everywhere :) I can usually eat about a half an ounce at a time :)

96 days post op, I have cautiously tried nuts. Specifically cashews and pistachios. No problem except the tendency to suddenly comprehend I've had one too many. So now I ration myself to 5 fresh roasted cashews over an hour. I savor each one, and I make sure to chew it thoroughly. (Not sure I get a great deal of Protein benefit from 5 cashews, but I certainly get a lot of physical and mental enjoyment. ;) )

As for Plantars nuts.... eeeeewwwwww! Unless you know they were roasted/packaged/shipped in the past 7 days, you're actually eating rancid nuts. You can only eat so very little - make it SUPREMO quality. B)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
