Almonds

Are almonds not ok? I'm a month post op with RNY. It's the only new thing I ate today and have terrible diarrhea

A month out seems very early to be eating nuts. I wasn't allowed ANY solids until 40 days and nothing crunchy for over 2 months. Buts were definitely very late on the schedule my nutritionist gave me.

Check with your nutritionist. I had macadamia nuts at one month with no problem, but I used almond butter in my Protein Drinks from day 1. I rarely eat PB.

I just went back over my post-op calendar and the notes for month one said specifically to avoid nuts. My notes for month 2 said, no crunchy foods until month 3.

I'm on the all clear food list - I can eat whatever i want, with a few exceptions (celery, stringy foods, Untoasted breads)... I just have to chew well. I wasn't sure if dat content was too high, even tho it's good fat

I am not sure if it is about the fat content or not. I began eating them at 12 weeks and I have no problems. I also eat shelled pistachios.

Nut are one of my favorite snack items along with beef Jerky and cheese. I do eat fat in my diet and have not had any problems and am losing on a very good pace.

I just wonder if maybe it is a little too soon for you. Everyone is different so although they cleared you, you will need to listen to your body, which it sounds like you are doing a great job of.

Try again in another couple of weeks.

i had the same surgeon as Jamie and wasn't allowed nuts for 3 months. Since then I've had nuts almost every day....almonds, peanuts, walnuts, Brazil, macadamia, pistachio, cashews....

A month may be a little soon for certain things. Your sleeve isn't quite functioning normally yet, so the stuff you eat enters your intestine in a slightly "under digested" state. This is what causes food allergies and intolerances postop because it's a foreign thing for your intestine to be dealing with. At least this is how my surgeon explained it. The intolerance I had for artificial sweeteners and lactose immediately postop resolved after about 4 months. So Like others said, maybe try almonds again in a month or two.

I've been eating nuts since allowed at 4 weeks with no problems.

I was allowed nuts at six weeks. I go to Trader Joe's once in a while and buy a variety of unsalted nuts in large bulk packages and mix them all up and put them in baggies with some dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut.
