I was sleeved on 12/28/12 and went through my one week of clear liquids, two weeks of full liquids, two weeks of soft proteins, and am now on my "new normal". I was wondering if anyone has had nuts post op? I love them but don't know if it will hurt my sleeve?

I started eating them about a month post-op and had no problems. Just start with a small amount and chew like crazy and you should be fine. I'm six months out now and there is literally nothing I can't eat. Even spicy stuff!

Blue Diamond makes 100 Calorie packs that are great for in the purse, office desk drawer, car glove box for when you need that little protein boost on the go. I buy the raw almonds and as Minckle say just chew chew chew and you should be fine.

I've been eating nuts since just a few weeks out. I eat two servings every day, even now at goal. They have good protein and high fiber. I get unsalted so mine are low sodium. Best part - they required some serious chewing!

Started at about 6 weeks out. No problems. Love nuts. They are a good part of a regular diet.

What kind are you eating tho? Almonds? Cashews?

My plan prohibits nuts until month 4. My NUT said they are a little over cautious about that, but the fear is that some small particle could get caught in the suture line and cause problems. Sames goes for fruits with seeds, like berries. I'd love some stawberries and pecans about now....

I spoke to my dietitian and she said that they were fine for me. Again, I was sleeved on 12/28/12. I bought the ones with the least carb and most fiber. At my local store it happened to be the deluxe mixed nuts by planters with 50% less peanuts. They are salty and crunchy and makes an interesting addition to my diet. I am eating one to two servings of 1 ounce a day.

I've been eating nuts since about 6 weeks post-op. I haven't had any problems. I LOVE nuts! I buy the big bags at SAMs of the specific kind I like and mix them all together. Sometimes I add a small amount of crasins for that little surprise sweet treat.

I wish I could eat nuts. I get a weird feeling in my esophagus, like the acid feeling, when I eat just a few almonds and I have to stop.

I didnt start eating nuts until I was 4-5 months post op. I wanted to make sure I was healed first.

I was sleeved 12/21/12 and started eating nuts about 5 wks post op.........pistachios (36 with shells) or qtr cup of shelled.....also eat cashew butter and peanut butter.....

You might look into nuts.com energy squares. They are about the size of dice and have a mixture of different nuts held together with a little molasses. Two are 120 calories and provide good energy before or during a long and hard cardio or strength training exercise ( greater then 30 min). There are quite a few varieties on nut.com, but I have only tried chocolate paradise. Love it. I know Butter The Bean mentioned he has tried a lot of the varieties, so hopefully he will post here or you can PM him for info.

I eat raw almonds almost everyday for a snack. no problems.

I was sleeved 11-13-12

Oh and Fiddleman those sound good!

I have been eating nuts since i was about 3 months out. I have almonds or walnuts almost everyday. One of my favorite snacks.

I keep a bag of pistachios at work for the afternoons I need a little something. They are my favorite, and getting them out of the shell makes you eat them one at a time.
