My NUT told me today that he would be afraid to eat anything with seeds in it, like tomatoes. He said that because there is an incision site, he would be afraid the seeds would get stuck in there and become a massive problem.

Is this a danger? Is there a time when you CAN start eating things with seeds again? I love tomatoes, I have an entire Tomato garden growing quickly. I knew it would not be on the menu at first, but will it ever?

Thanks!

How far out are you?

You do need to wait until the suture line has completely scared over as has been mentioned. A stuck seed leads to infection which means they open you up. So, you have to decide how bad you want that Tomato right now.

I think I was at least 3 months post before I had toms or any berry.

I am still pre-surgery. Had my second NUT visit today and he mentioned it. I will not be having anything with seeds in it until I am given a green light. LOL

Thanks for answering.

Keep in mind that you CAN deseed tomatoes if you want the flavor. I do it all the time if I don't want a lot of liquid in something but want that Tomato flavor. Definitely stick with your NUT/dr. guidance, though!

I hollow out my tomatoes usually, the seeds just get in the way in my opinion, and can make caprese slimy also they are the source of 'weeping' after you cut your tomatoes. Good luck!

I am nine weeks and I eat tomatoes and lots of salsa, I haven't had any problems, but there is always a chance.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
