I sauteed myself about 5 small shrimp with a little teriyaki sauce cut down with water.. and it was soooo worth it! went down well no pain or discomfort and without the uncomfortable stuffed FULL feeling i get from other things!

Wow...that's amazing. I was on liquids for 2 weeks after, then soft, mushy foods for almost 2 weeks, then gradually reg diet.

Yup, I'm 6 weeks out and shrimp is my go to, it's an awesome great of protein.

So shrimp, crab, lobster, fish are not uncomfortable foods?

Dang. I'm 6 weeks out (today) and won't be allowed to have something like shrimp for another 4-6 weeks. :-(

disney teach i havent tried crab yet but omg id KILL for a crab leg lol!! im going to try it!! and yes Shrimp has gone down the easiest of ANYTHING ive tried!! everything else gives me that weird heavy feeling

I'm 5 weeks out and living on seafood. Shrimp every single day. I also eat crab legs, imitation crab meat, all kinds of fish, and today I had a crab cake. It all goes down and stays down super easy.

All I like now is seafood and super spicy foods. Weird taste changes.

someone on here said their dr considered shrimp a "soft" food. newlife, how far out are you?

I'm 16 months post-op and scallops, shrimp, and crab are my main proteins. I tolerate fish, chicken, and pork pretty poorly, all three need a lot of food lube (some kind of sauce or gravy) to go down well, but I'm great with steak or lamb (go figure!).

Foxbins, I love the "food lube" comment!

I eat a lot of shrimp, seafood, crab meat when I go out. At home, I usually do chicken or steak. I'm loving the individual steak fajita strips right now.

im 3 weeks out. My doctor released us on pureeds the first week and told me to slowly start incorporating what i could handle so ive been just trying here and there lol

Thanks for the heads up. I love seafood and will put that on my list when I hit solids.
