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>

      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.
