How long do you need to wait to eat almonds or peanuts?



Recommended Posts

My NUT said I could have Peanut Butter during my stage 4 ( weeks 3-7) which was when I could eat just aloud Protein only...no veggies fruit carbs etc and that I could eat actual,peanuts and nuts after week 7. I did have a few almonds at week 6 and had no problems. Just don't eat too frequently because both are high in calories and dat.

My surgeon's instructions were no nuts or seeds until 3 months. Since then mixed nuts are a go to snack I have almost every day.

No nuts or seeds here for 3 months, but I could have no sugar added nut butters of the smooth variety. I poured the oil off the top of the all natural types and enjoyed a small spoonful in my Protein shake or all by itself.

I got used to those so now, the regular types are far too sweet.

I also had to wait 3 months before eating nuts, seeds, skins, membranes.

I am 7 weeks out and allowed to eat anything tolerated. I eat nuts daily as a snack.

My dietitian/program at Kaiser has nuts on the banned list forever as it says its too hard on the stomach to digest. Of course they seem to be ultra conservative with all of their rules in general. They also ban coffee forever and at 15 months out, I'm not about to give up my one cup in the morning! I also snack on cashews and almonds on occasion. If I eat too many at once it does hurt a little. It's a different hurt than what I experience when I eat too much food on occasion. Eat them slow and chew them up really good. Wait until your well adjusted to solid food.

I was allowed 1 tbsp of nut butter on the full liquids phase. I used them to hide my crushed Vitamins or to flavor my Protein Shakes. Once I was cleared to eat whatever I could tolerate at week 6 I started back eating nuts. I prefer almond, pistachios or no salt added cashews. They make a good Protein snack.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
