Hi Pamela

Congrats! Are you doing anything different that has allowed the

weight loss to increase? Even 7 weeks out today, my weight loss

keeps going on " mini plateaus " and it is frustrating!

No not really...in fact I dont get all my water in, but I eat alot of

protein. I found that sunflower seeds (which I love) have 28g in a

cup so I eat a cup full everyday! And since I have done that I have

started to lose again!

Hi Pamela

Wow! That's a lot of sunflower seeds! LOL My surgeon's office said

no nuts or seeds at all, but I've been reading that a lot of people

have them. Any idea what might be a problem with them (other than

being high in fat) and if they are indeed safe to eat? This would

be a GREAT option for me as it would allow me something to snack on

if I really feel the need to snack while getting in more protein.

They would also be high in fiber which normally would be a good thing

but the problem is they sit in your pouch for a while and as you

start to drink again I would bet the issue is swelling of the seed

shell (I am assuming she is eating whole sunflower seeds) parts.

This could cause problem with the pouch. When I needed some fiber

supplement my surgeon did not want me taking any for those reasons.

He had me take stool softener instead.

The other issue would be the quantity. The idea is not to graze all

day long and allow your metabolism to kick in because it's not

constantly being fed. If I ate that much I would have to eat seeds

only for 2 meals - not my idea of fun and I do like SF seeds.

I have eaten some peanuts since surgery. I keep the little snack

packs in the car in case I am hungry and not anywhere I can get a

meal. I usually just eat a couple to knock the hunger down till I

can have my meal. There is a lot of fat in them to eat them just for

a meal. I just chew very well like everything else and have not had

any problems.
