Almonds



Recommended Posts

A month out seems very early to be eating nuts. I wasn't allowed ANY solids until 40 days and nothing crunchy for over 2 months. Buts were definitely very late on the schedule my nutritionist gave me.

Are almonds not ok? I'm a month post op with RNY. It's the only new thing I ate today and have terrible diarrhea :(

Check with your nutritionist. I had macadamia nuts at one month with no problem, but I used almond butter in my Protein Drinks from day 1. I rarely eat PB.

I just went back over my post-op calendar and the notes for month one said specifically to avoid nuts. My notes for month 2 said, no crunchy foods until month 3.

I'm on the all clear food list - I can eat whatever i want, with a few exceptions (celery, stringy foods, Untoasted breads)... I just have to chew well. I wasn't sure if dat content was too high, even tho it's good fat :(

I am not sure if it is about the fat content or not. I began eating them at 12 weeks and I have no problems. I also eat shelled pistachios.

Nut are one of my favorite snack items along with beef Jerky and cheese. I do eat fat in my diet and have not had any problems and am losing on a very good pace.

I just wonder if maybe it is a little too soon for you. Everyone is different so although they cleared you, you will need to listen to your body, which it sounds like you are doing a great job of.

Try again in another couple of weeks.

i had the same surgeon as Jamie and wasn't allowed nuts for 3 months. Since then I've had nuts almost every day....almonds, peanuts, walnuts, Brazil, macadamia, pistachio, cashews....

A month may be a little soon for certain things. Your sleeve isn't quite functioning normally yet, so the stuff you eat enters your intestine in a slightly "under digested" state. This is what causes food allergies and intolerances postop because it's a foreign thing for your intestine to be dealing with. At least this is how my surgeon explained it. The intolerance I had for artificial sweeteners and lactose immediately postop resolved after about 4 months. So Like others said, maybe try almonds again in a month or two.

I've been eating nuts since allowed at 4 weeks with no problems.

I was allowed nuts at six weeks. I go to Trader Joe's once in a while and buy a variety of unsalted nuts in large bulk packages and mix them all up and put them in baggies with some dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut.

      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.
