Boiled Peanuts

[amsaf 16]

Are boiled peanuts ok to eat post surgery ? I was thinking they may be a good source of Protein but can anyone confirm that ?

My doctor allows nuts post-op, but doesn't recommend them due to it is very easy to eat more than 1 portion of them.

Ask your surgeon. I was allowed nuts and seeds after 3 months and have eaten mixed nuts pretty much every day since.

And boiled peanuts....mmmmm.....drooool......Probably a good thing we don't have them around here or they would be my new addiction.

Im trying to research them and everything says they arent nuts they are legumes so i dont know if that changes anything

I LOVE boiled peanuts and I made them in my crockpot a lot before surgery! I could have them now but it's a crazy amount of salt!

So that means they are like chickpeas, black Beans, edamame, pinto beans, and lentils. All very nutritious choices and I was eating them two months before I started eating nuts! And yeah, like Elode said, boiled peanuts are loaded with salt. But contrary to popular belief, salt does not affect weight loss other than Water weight. Of course You need to be careful with salt if you have certain medical conditions.
