I'm craving sunflower seeds....opinions?

I'm 4 months out, 2 days ago. I'm craving sunflower seeds. I would like to have them, but I don't know if I can/if I'm allowed too. Or should I just stick with my 1/4 cup of roasted almonds? Any advice?

well some people will think i am of my rocker for suggesting this but....... I eat sunflower seeds, nuts all those health fats and i dont have any problems with them and i lose weight just as stead and quickly as every one else. its been 4 - 5 months since my surgery and i am down 90 pounds. I also eat a lot of healthy whole grain carbs! Its your choice, but i would have an once if you really want some.

Thanks. I also eat whole grain carbs and some of those fats we're not "supposed to". I may have an ounce.

If you can eat nuts, you should be able to eat sunflower seeds, too.

Thanks!

When did you start eating almonds, nuts, etc?  Just wondering how long I have to wait :)

I had peanut butter at about 1-1/2 to 2 months--that was a mistake because it felt weird going down, like, sticky. I ate almonds for the first time about 3 weeks ago--3-1/2 months out.

But I think it would be about how you tolerate things.

If nuts & seeds are on your approved food list, then why not... just don't eat the shells... unless they're on the approved list too... i'm only saying this because i used to eat shell and all when i was little!!!  yeah, i was nuts....

No, I wouldn't eat the shell. But I did occasionally was I was a little girl too. Lol. So... you were nuts about nuts then, huh? Lmao.

I started eating them at 8 weeks out when I was released to no restrictions.  I try to only eat the low sodium ones (in shells) and no I don't eat the shells. 

I love them - they can be addicting.   So I try to limit to once a week.
