Seeds again...

So I had to call my RN today for something else, so while I had her on the phone I said, "I realize that I'm not supposed to have seeds right now, such as strawberries in my protein shake, but when do you think I can add them?"  And she said "It shouldn't be a problem- you can have them now."  I was dumbfounded.  After everything I heard from everywhere else, I just figured I couldn't have them either!  I'm torn-- I don't want to risk it, but why would she tell me I could?  This is where it gets confusing because I don't always know what to believe--  

RN for your surgeon or for your PCP? 

I think I would wait until you see your surgeon and confirm with them personally. 

RN for my surgeon-- I'm just not ready to risk it yet though-- I'm going for a check next week so I think I'll just wait and ask again-- wouldn't you?

I think seeds really depend on the surgeon.  I wasn't allowed them because they might get caught in the staple line.  I have read other surgeons don't have a problem with seeds and many people eat them early out.  If you are concerned then wait.

Does it mention seeds in your dietary guideline they gave you? Does it mention fruits like strawberries in it? I'd go by what they gave me on paper until I spoke with a doctor. As you know all of our plans are very different so you can't go by what you see on here. I wasn't allowed any fruit until 4 months but my diet is far more restricted than most on here that I've seen.
