Give Shrimp A Try

A lot of things are making me sick lately. I tried 3 meatballs got sick, some ground beef same thing. chicken only in chicken salad. So chicken salad, eggs made 10 ways until sunday, half turkey burger patty, and fish has been very boring.

I finally went to Walmart and decided to try some shrimp. I got the bag that comes 100-150 pre cooked mini shrimp. It wasn't expensive at all. I just threw it in a pan with some butter and garlic. 3 oz have 21 grams of Protein.

I ate 3 oz and didn't get sick so I ate about 6 more ounces. OMG it tasted so so good and I haven't been sick at all.

So if you want something else that is high in protein definitely try these shrimps. You can get the bags at walmart in one of those coolers right before the meat section.

  • Wow. I can eat shrimp, but 3 large ones are my limit. I love them--and they're low in calories, too! I actually prefer them boiled and chilled, shrimp cocktail style.

  • Seafood is the most easily digested meats. Plus you get ur omegas as a bonus. I just hope that I can still eat crawfish after my surgery (null)

    Seafood is my friend! I have started buying my shrimp at Sams Club because I eat it so often now. Shrimp and broccoli is my fav Scallops and crab legs work well too!

I am 7 weeks out and this is the first time I have been able to eat more than 4oz at a time. 2 eggs and I am so freaking full, more than half of turkey burger patty is enough to make me feel over full. I am wondering if these are considered slider foods because I am the same way as not being able to eat a lot of protein at all but these went down too easy that is why I ate more. I guess shrimp is my slider food..lol

I'm 4-weels out and started mushies. I'm good with turkey meatballs, ground chicken salad, ground ham and mayo, re-fried beans, and most soup...the exception being cream based. I'll have to try the shimp tomorrow. That sounds good. I've purchased salmon, talapia, and sole too. Thinkinng that fish may be a new friend. I stick to 3 tablespoon, and generally cannot finish that.

Well they sound delicious but right now anything to me sounds delicious. I am in a stall so I have gone back on liquid protein shakes for the next 5 days to see if I can get a kickstart and get back to the gym tomorrow. I hope it works

This sounds delicious. Planning on trying this tomorrow. ;)

Bellabr - I couldn't eat beef or pork until at least 3 months after surgery - and it has to be cooked moistly (think crock pot) or ground meat cooked with mositure (meat loaf). I could do chicken, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt and SEAFOOD. Shrimp and scallops and tuna and salmon are my saviors.

mmmm mmmmm mmmm...thanks for the idea!

Thank you so much. I am 1 week post op, but staying ahead to make sure I have enough exciting things to keep me on track and not feeling like I need my old tummy back. Seafood and chicken are going to be my best friends. Thanks for sharing.

Shrimp go down and sit very well.
