Sounds great! Can you share your recipe for your ceviche since it is the best?

Yes please do. I have never had it but would like to try it.

I am also loving shrimp and I'm 8 weeks out! I even take just 4 boiled shrimp with some lemon for lunch because it doesn't take much planning! Throw some Greek yogurt or a boiled egg with it and I'm ready to go! I've also been grilling it and trying it with different spices, my whole family loves shrimp so it is a win, win!

I get the bags of Gortons grilled shrimp and tilapia and keep in the freezer at work. I heat them in the microwave for s meal or a snack. Low cal and lots of Protein. Morning Star veggie burgers are good too for a quick meal. I can eat half with some cottage cheese and salsa melted on top...yum

Does anyone else eat beef Jerky?

I do! I do!

Just watch the carbs in the flavored ones.

We have a butcher shop by us the sells ostrich jerky and it has 14grams of Protein per ounce.

I usually only use it if I'm traveling and in a pinch.

Blackened Trout topped with red pepper garlic shrimp!!

I live in New Orleans and I usually make sometypr of fish (blackened or fried) topped with a garlic cream sauce. Well i started my pre op diet (Two shakes and one low carb meal) and my husband wanted fish so I got creative.

I took the trout and blackened it using Zatarains Blackened Seasoning (followed the directions on the back). I used EVOO and a castiron skillet heated in the oven til 500 degrees took it out then added the EVOO in the skillet. let it heat up alittle more then blackened the fish.

While the skillet was in the oven I took some garlic and onion with EVOO cooked til clear added shrimp ( i used fresh) and a cap full of crab boil cooked teh shrimp then I added paul prudhomme louisana red pepper sauce cooked down until thick.

I blackened the fish and poured the garlic pepper shrimp on top it was sooooo good and easy!

My nut said most people can't tolerate it and discouraged me from eating it but it does not bother me and it is a good snack. I love ostrich sticks. I get them when I am at work. There is a GNC next door.

Spouses...they're hell' date=' but ya gotta love them :P I was impressed with you until the second post.

I can't eat frozen fish anything (too many years in alaska...I'm a fish snob!) but we get fresh here pretty much year round. One of my favorite dinners is jumbo prawns (spot are delicious if you can get them) peeled and wrapped with a small piece of proschitto. Grill or cook in a salamander until just done (the proschitto will be cooked but still soft) and enjoy with a ripe cantaloupe or honey dew melon. You want to have maybe 3 of these with less than a 1/4 cup of diced melon. It's a full meal and the flavor combination of sweet, salty and savory is beyond compare! The melon must be ripe and sweet or it's a waste of a melon.

Another great Protein is salmon. I prefer white king :P but that's hard to find. I only eat fresh salmon so I don't recommend frozen, even flash frozen because it can get tougher. We like to grill ours and then make a garlic, lemon, butter and caper sauce. Salmon is one of the top ten foods with Protein per gram so you get TONS of protein from a small amount. The trick with salmon (or any fish really) is to NOT cook it until it's flaky throughout (which is far overcooked). It should be a soft pink inside and marked from the grill outside. Any fish is much easier on your tummy if it's cooked properly, including salmon.

Look for king salmon if you can get it. Russian River king is the most available in the lower 48 with a high, healthy! fat content. If you ever are in alaska look for Kuskokwim King, which are the cream of the crop for salmon. The river is very cold and strong so the fish have to develop a lot of fat to survive (much like Russian River but even better). You probably would never see that here (I never have) but gad it's like eating ummmm what's the precious stone equivalent...ummmm Diamonds LOL....wait that does not sound good. It's like eating butter :)

Fish fat is very healthy and not at all something to avoid. You don't "see" it, you only taste it in the buttery feel of a fish cooked properly. It's what separates trout from King Salmon on the food chain (the human one heh heh).

I'm waxing poetic about fish! Gad I must need Breakfast.[/quote']

Oooooohhhh the prawn in prochito and melon sounds yum, will defo be trying this in a few weeks. Xxx

Hi all, I'm about 3 weeks out and I'm returning all my Protein Powder and vitimins, they make me sick. I'm dying to have shrimp, next week ill get some . I bought Flinstones vitimins and they are better. Ugh it hasn't been easy . I hate the feeling of having a lump in my throat and being nauseas. Some days I feel fine and some I'm so down because I hate everything I have to drink/eat. Seafood is gonna be such a pleasure to have. I've lost 27 pounds !

Bubba: Anyway' date=' like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp Soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, and bariatric shrimp. That- that's about it.

Hilarious!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
