Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 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!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 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!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 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.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 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.
