What about seeds after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I haven’t had surgery yet but was asked if I would be able to eat berries or if they will be off limits because of the seeds.

Are berries off limits?

You should be able to eat berries. I had pumpkin seeds on Halloween.

I have done well with seeds. pumpkin and sunflower, shelled. Chew them well.

I had zero fruit for the first three months. Our nutritionist calls them sugar bombs. No sugar or bread cerealy things at all. And now three months later I hate the taste of sweet things. So I’m glad I stopped eating fruit. Now I will eat ONE bite of fruit a day, usually just a taste when I fix fruit for a child. I don’t really want sweet things any more. I will add a small amount of fruit in to my diet next summer if I am ready for maintenance.

That’s good to know. I love fruit but like any good relationship, if it’s not two sided (and if it will hurt me, it’s only one sided) I’ll have to break up with my fruit. I’m really hoping for a shift in taste buds after surgery. That would be delightful. :)

I have no issues with seeds or fruit to be honest. I don't eat a lot of fruit but I do on occasion and it hasn't been an issue for me personally.

      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.
