Can you eat roasted pumpkin seeds?



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve surgery a year ago and I ate some last week. I prefer the nut meats only, but I had a handful in the shell with my bestie and didn't suffer any ill effects.

Best, always, to ask your nutritionist about this kinda stuff.

Some people have incredibly sensitive digestion after surgery. Some do very well with this kind of thing. Just depends a bit on which kind of experience your anatomy picks.

I ate popcorn two months out and had no issues. I've never once vomited since surgery and other than corn on the cob...have never had anything give me discomfort. I munch down potato skins, celery, seeds and nuts, apples with skins, pretty much everything.

Other folks...will have problems with lettuce.

Just kinda depends.

Wish I had a better answer.

Best wishes!

When in doubt...ask your clinic.

Or do the cut up your intestines without enout stomach acid to dissolve the Shell shards?

Important thing to remember, digestion starts in your mouth - chew your food well . What you can and can't tolerate after surgery is impossible for anyone to predict. Some people can chomp on celery, corn and raw carrots whilst others struggle with soft foods. Only time will tell

Sure! I do all the time. :) But just make sure you're over 21. ;) And remember to chew responsibly! But I am also working on 9 months out. :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
