laurenella82 625 Posted December 2, 2014 Low sodium jumbo sunflower seeds I'm thinking, "will I be able to eat thereafter surgery?" Some people have said they can't tolerate nuts...what about seeds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophie'sChoice 269 Posted December 2, 2014 I have no problem with nuts or seeds.....unfortunately LOL Just wait till your team recommends you try them. And even if it doesn't go well the first time, wait a month or so and try again! Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted December 2, 2014 I eat nuts and seeds but wasn't allowed to do so until 6 months out. You need that incision healed fully, first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Babbs 14,681 Posted December 2, 2014 I'm a little over 3 months out, and I tolerate well chewed almonds very well. I am waiting on seeds, though...I just picture them getting lodged somewhere in my sleeve....***shudder*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laurenella82 625 Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks!! This is all good to know. I eat sunflower seeds when I'm driving long distance or just in the car for a long time. They help keep me awake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laurenella82 625 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) seeds and nuts have been great for me. sunflower seeds are a nice slow snack in the mid morning for me at work. I think I should watch the sodium though....I opted for low sodium and they are still 940 mg per 1/4 cup!! I guess you could get them unshelled but that's the fun of sunflower seeds for me ????

bikrchk 1,313 Posted December 2, 2014 It took about 6 months before I could eat "anything", rice being the last hold out, but seeds, nuts, fruit skins, whatever, it's all good now as long as I don't over eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laurenella82 625 Posted December 3, 2014 I'm not really a popcorn lover (unless it's puff n' corn.) so that shouldn't be an issue. I can't stand the hills in my teeth and throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
