5 Weeks Out And Had 5 Almonds... So Good.



Recommended Posts

I have an uber strict doctor... Only allowed Protein Shakes, broth, eggs and fish until 7 weeks... Today I splurged on a craving and had five well chewed almonds... My stomach accepted them happily! What a relief... I thought it would be ok as I read so many posts from others eating a huge variety only two weeks out... My doc is a real hard ass...

I love the wasabi/soy sauce 100 calorie almond packets. They're tasty when I want a treat.

My doctor is not too strict after one month except he said no nuts, seeds or popcorn for 6 month. But I suppose of you chew it enough, like almond butter it will be ok. Just be really careful. My nutritionist said that a seed, like a poppy seed or a sesame seed can lodge in the seam and can work it's way through and you could get a leak.

My nut and dr approved nuts of all kinds after 6 weeks. They are a great source of Protein. As long as you chewed really well you will be fine.

My doc is pretty reasonable, too, but no nuts for 6 months! I don't really care for them anyway, so no big loss, but I can't have shellfish for 6 months and I'm dying over that.

Why no shellfish?

That's awesome! I want some cashews so bad, but I was told no nuts or popcorn either until 6 months out, maybe I'll experiment with my Ninja and try to make some cashew butter, cause I can eat Peanut Butter. The same thing over and over gets boring :)

*edit* Why no shellfish? Also what is considered shellfish, lobster and crab? I think my nutritional book says the same thing no shellfish, but then it also says I can eat lobster and crab.

I don't know and it's really a bummer! I'm going to ask my Nut tomorrow. I'd LOVE some shrimp, plus I live in S. Louisiana and we eat A LOT of seafood. lol

Weird... I am not allowed shrimp, but I AM allowed crab and lobster, so its not a shellfish thing... I have heard that the shrimp is because some people overcook shrimp til its rubbery?

I was allowed shrimp, I ate a LOT of shrimp when I was in the soft food stage because chicken just would get stuck all the time and I could eat about 3 jumbo shrimp with no problems, the medium sized about 4. I would make shrimp scampi or just boil them a little with some old bay seasoning and have a little dab of cocktail sauce on the side and chew really well.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
