Can you eat shrimp?



Recommended Posts

I have really been wanting shrimp lately...it's funny how my tastes have changed. Shrimp was something I rarely ate and never craved before but I loved burgers and now the thought of a hamburger repulses me. Anyway, I have been scared to try the shrimp though for fear of getting stuck. Luckily, I have not been stuck or PBd at all since surgery and I have a fair amount of restriction right now. I know shrimp can be hard to chew, chew, chew into almost liquid due to the texture. Do any of you eat it or is it not something that would be good for a bandster to try? Thanks.

i have eaten shrimp on a couple of occasions, i was really loose though. i was told that after you are tighter, it is more difficult to eat shrimp because of the consistency.

I can eat shrimp.. I have gotten stuck on it (for eating a big bite of a jumbo and not chewing well). You just need to make sure to chew chew chew it. I have a hard time chewing shrimp 'really good' because it kind of disgusts me to chew it a lot.

yeah, i have found that i do not like a lot of foods because of the chewing. shrimp does not taste good after it has been chewed for a while. i have to drench it in cocktail sauce to like it.

I love shrimp and have not had any problem with eating them. Just make sure you chew it well (30 times) and enjoy! Start out with bite size ones(salad) to see how well you do.

Let me know how it goes!!!!:)

One of the things about shimp is it should never be overcooked. It should take no more that 5-6 mins to cook no matter what way it is cooked. And just be very mindfull when you eat it take small bites and chew well. I eat all kinds of seafood now because it is banster friendly. I have pb'd on Lobster tail but the claw meat is fine. Shrimp is too good to give up. I really miss grilled steak and that is the one thing that I can not eat anymore.

Yes, I can still eat anything (bread, popcorn, etc.) as long as I chew well.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
