In the last month, I've been trying small amounts of nuts and seeds with little or no problem...so far. I don't want it to bite me in the butt later on though ;-) ...should I keep eating them?

I eat some nuts and seeds now and seem to be okay with them as long as I chew them really really well. Hope that helps some. Hugs!

I am still very nervous and careful after so many obstructions caused by foods pre resection but recently added cashews to my diet with no ill effects  just very careful to chew well. 

Hard nuts and seeds hmm I am not so sure as I don't want to agravate things and I will never eat sew corn again ever ;P 

Funnily enough the only foods my surgeon told me to avoid were cruciferous veg like cauli and cabbage.

hope you are healing well ;P

The strange thing is I can never tie an obstructive episode to any food. I will have nuts once in a while, like in a fruit bread or muffin. I don't seek them out, but if its in something I won't totally avoid it. I don't usually buy seeded breads or rolls, but I will have those too, if that is how something comes when I am out. Popcorn, I will have a taste of, but not more than that. But when I have had trouble, it has been after I have been really good and I can't tie it to any food. I guess that is why I am unwilling to be extremely vigilant about all foods. I am pretty good, but the only way to eliminate all "bad" food would be for me to only eat food that I prepare myself and I am unwilling to do that.

Roni,

I have been eating raspberries, strawberries, etc everyday for weeks now.  No problem at all.  I have found that the foods I think are going to cause me trouble end up not a good amount of the time, but a simple meal that is usually safe can cause me troubles.  No ryhme or reason with anything with this disease!!
