Today I was out having a bloody mary and suddenly I had a hankering for Raw Oysters, I'm curious if anyone has tried them after being banded. I LOVE raw oysters and of course know that there will be sacrifices I need to make, but if oysters are something I could have on occasion, I would like to keep them in the rotation! Anyone try em??

I LOVVVEEEE raw oysters too! Good thing you brought this up.. I haven't thought about that. I don't see why you can't have it.

Other than there's a concern about contamination from the flooding of the mississippi and the corexit that they used in the gulf to clean the oil from the BP spill.... yeah, you can eat raw oysters.

I love them too, but I'm a lot more cautious these days. Steamed are just about as good and probably better for us. :)

As said above, Oysters should be just fine, as long as they are not fried. I am pretty sure they are high protien and certainly don't have fat or carbs. So actually they fit right into a good diet in terms of loosing weight. I would watch the bloody mary- empty calories and may make you less inhibited and therefore more likely to eat something you shouldn't. I suggest only 1 and factor in the calories. Enjoy!

I eat oysters all the time (steamed though) and although I love the crackers with them, have foregone them for just the oysters with the hot sauce and horseradish. It is one of my favorite things to eat! They are easy on the band too (I guess because of the slider factor) so go for it..if it's what you want! Remember, we are allowed to eat anything (healthy or not) within moderation...making better and healthier choices. No offense meant by that, I didn't get fat eating salads and veggies.....but the occasional "unhealthy" food is ok too. Life would be boring if I couldn't share in my children's birthday celebrations and such! :) Let us know how it goes!

I have.... numerous times. So much in fact that I know that 6 raw oysters, 6 saltines, cocktail sauce is under 200 calories. :)

Enjoy!

Does eating raw oysters the traditional way (one or two chews to get the flavor and swallow whole) pose a risk for obstruction? How would the oyster get out of the tiny stomach?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
