Are there foods you can no longer (permanently) eat after surgery?

Even after recovery from surgery, are there any particular food items that absolutely cannot be eaten? For instance, can nuts still be eaten?

My btpass was in Sept 2015, I have have had no issues eating anykind of nut, unless you have like diverticulitis I dont think its a concern., if fact there was no mention of "no nuts" in the pre-op classes.

It really become a matter of individual preference/tolerance and 'all because you can, doesn't mean you should'

I can eat anything, sugar, nuts, meats etc. I do not eat Fried food because how it makes me feel. I avoid high carb foods- but am no stranger to a cookie :-) I do not drink calories in any form.

It really just depends

As far as I know...nope. I can eat whatever I want. Will it be without consequence? Nope.

I get dumping syndrome, and its especially bad with ice cream to the point that I really have no desire for many sweets and the very thought of ice cream makes me nauseous. But I can still eat it if I really want to.

I avoid bread because not only does it fill me up with unnecessary calories with no nutritional value, but it makes me feel very bloated and gassy. But I can still eat it if I really want to.

Nuts are fine after you're cleared for them--I wasn't allowed until almost 3 months out. I don't eat many of them personally because they're high in calories, but many people add them in once they're in maintenance.

Same for me on the ice cream! It was always my 'red-light' food because I loved to eat it by the half-gallon and had to stay away. Much easier now to avoid it as I too am a dumper. But, yep, I could eat it - but don't want to anymore.

Also with the bread and nuts, I love them and have no issues eating either of them. But way too high in calories for little protein. Not worth the eating anymore.

Mainly, my mind-set has changed so that food is of significantly less importance - taste, texture, temperature, whatever. It just doesn't mean that much anymore (and as a former foodie I thought that was the end-all, be-all of life, haha). :)

Almost a year out and can pretty much eat anything, just some things don't agree with me very much, I can tolerate the odd cookie, or about 1/4 cup of ice cream if I really want it. I have nuts as a go to snack sometimes as they're high in protein. You just need to measure as they can add up quickly and like everything else chew well.
