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'm 3 months out and like almonds and pistachios.

I'll also have 5 or 6 walnuts halves crushed in my hand and sprinkled on natural yoghurt with a little bit of honey.

This is good to know, I thought I could never have any nuts again.

Just remember they are little calorific bombs.

Healthy but high in cals. I think even with a sleeve we have to be conscious of the amount we eat.

Buzz kill...

Emerald nuts have a 100 calorie pack of almonds that I get. I don't eat them everyday but they are a great snack that I have a couple times a week

I was told to wait for 6 weeks but I can't really eat nuts in moderation so I can't buy them. They are healthy usually but they do have fat content and I don't leave them alone. I also feel like they might be something that slide down too easily.

Thanks for all the replies! I still eat them once a day, maybe twice if I don't have anything else handy on the run.

For everyone worried about fat...why? I know we are told different things. But look into low carb. The only restriction I have is no more than 30 net carbs a day. I was literally told (by my surgeon and dietician) DO NOT WORRY about calories and fat anymore. As long as I stay below my carb count I am free to choose what I want. I actually stopped losing when i started worrying about calories. I had read to much about how sleevers were concerned with it and got confused about my own directions. A trip to the dietician got me back in track. Now, when I get to my goal I can up the carbs slowly until I figure out my magic carb number. That's the number I will be able to eat in a day that doesn't make me gain, but stops the weight loss.

Anyhow, just thought I would share that. Oh, and for he person concerned with nuts being a slider food...of course this could just be me, because we are all different, but I portion out 1 oz and it fills me up. No need to eat more. Then again, they so taste good so I could see that being an issue for some.

Thanks again for all the help!
