I have an uber strict doctor... Only allowed protein shakes, broth, eggs and fish until 7 weeks... Today I splurged on a craving and had five well chewed almonds... My stomach accepted them happily! What a relief... I thought it would be ok as I read so many posts from others eating a huge variety only two weeks out... My doc is a real hard ass...

I love the wasabi/soy sauce 100 calorie almond packets. They're tasty when I want a treat.

My doctor is not too strict after one month except he said no nuts, seeds or popcorn for 6 month. But I suppose of you chew it enough, like almond butter it will be ok. Just be really careful. My nutritionist said that a seed, like a poppy seed or a sesame seed can lodge in the seam and can work it's way through and you could get a leak.

My nut and dr approved nuts of all kinds after 6 weeks. They are a great source of protein. As long as you chewed really well you will be fine.

My doc is pretty reasonable, too, but no nuts for 6 months! I don't really care for them anyway, so no big loss, but I can't have shellfish for 6 months and I'm dying over that.

Why no shellfish?

That's awesome! I want some cashews so bad, but I was told no nuts or popcorn either until 6 months out, maybe I'll experiment with my Ninja and try to make some cashew butter, cause I can eat peanut butter. The same thing over and over gets boring

*edit* Why no shellfish? Also what is considered shellfish, lobster and crab? I think my nutritional book says the same thing no shellfish, but then it also says I can eat lobster and crab.

I don't know and it's really a bummer! I'm going to ask my Nut tomorrow. I'd LOVE some shrimp, plus I live in S. Louisiana and we eat A LOT of seafood. lol

Weird... I am not allowed shrimp, but I AM allowed crab and lobster, so its not a shellfish thing... I have heard that the shrimp is because some people overcook shrimp til its rubbery?

I was allowed shrimp, I ate a LOT of shrimp when I was in the soft food stage because chicken just would get stuck all the time and I could eat about 3 jumbo shrimp with no problems, the medium sized about 4. I would make shrimp scampi or just boil them a little with some old bay seasoning and have a little dab of cocktail sauce on the side and chew really well.

I'm tempted to just eat them anyway bc I can't find any reason not to anywhere!!
