Okay, so I tried an old tried and true protein shake. Body by Vi. I have a hard time getting it in plain or with flavoring, so this morning I added strawberries, like I did before surgery. Then after a sip or two started wondering about seeds. Does anyone know if berries with seeds are a bad idea at this point? I am only 3 1/2 weeks out.

Seeds are probably not a good thing prior to about the 6 week mark, in my opinion. If you can wait, I would!

Edited to add the reason: because they can get caught up in the healing staple line... which has formed a decent seal by the 6-8 week point.

Makes perfect sense. I only had a couple small sips, hope that didn't hurt anything.  I will go dump the shake down the drain and stick to my eggs.

 I was told 12 weeks for skins, seeds, nuts, and tough meats.
