The texture of shrimp to me is closer to baked chicken than baked fish. It tends to be firmer & more fibrous. I won't go as far as to say you can't have it, but be ready to do a lot more chewing.

I have always wondered if it is good for shrimp tails to go through your sleeve and digestive system. Out of habit, I still eat the tails off shrimp.

Everyone is different, but I tried shrimp - shredded really fine and mixed with a little low fat mayo when I was OK'd for soft food.It was rough. I waited about 10 days then tried shrimp again, this time as shrimp cocktail - chewed it really well and it went down ok. If you really wanted to eat it, I would try a bite, chew it forever, then wait a few minutes before you try another bite. Shrimp is my favorite!! So I was determined to keep trying it til I could eat it. Good luck.

I am able teat shrimp and I am still on soft foods. I just make sure I chew it VERY well!

I eat shrimp just blend it fine and add some humus. Finger lickin' good

I love shrimp and it was a staple during my soft stage, I just diced it up very fine and mixed it in with eggs or plain greek yogurt. You should be fine.

I put the shrimp and mayo or humus and blend it up. I'm 8 day out and it goes down fine.

I had five grilled shrimp for dinner (central market) - I'm three weeks out! Chew, chew, chew.

Surprisingly no pain and suffering. Perhaps it is because I am 6 months out. I am going to try to not eat the tails any longer.

I eat the tails, and sometimes the shells. It's really good for your joints. It's what glucosamine is made from.

My NUT says to avoid shrimp until at least 6 months out. Apparently some people have trouble digesting it.

I could have tuna fish, but no shrimp or Cod etc until week 6 when I started on regular food. Shrimp is something I keep on hand, frozen in a bag, to eat at lunch some times. Fish is THE easiest 'meat' on my tummy, i can eat all, but this is the least dense. I'm 2.7 years out!
