week out
According to my doctor and nutritionist the answer would be no. I'm not allowed to add nuts until 8 weeks. Also, I think it's sort of hard to chew every bit of seed in your mouth and might lead to problems while you're still healing. I would call your doc/nut and see what they say. However, I did just check the diet guidelines for The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and they say to "delay" nuts. (sorry I cut and past that and can't get rid of the bold type). Hope that helps.
I am my own hero...I save myself one day, one meal, one bite, one choice, one challenge, one step at a time...
What does your doc's plan say?
At one week out, my plan said to eat pureed foods. I'm guessing it would be kinda hard to puree sunflower seeds.
