March 17, 201313 yr How far out are you post op? I'm in Louisiana too and my Dr is in New Iberia and my food plan shows seafood weeks 4-5. Crawfish will probably be 3-4 tails depending on size and amt you normally eat.

March 17, 201313 yr Who did your surgery? Did your dr tell you to take Prilosec or another acid reducer? The cravings are probably head hunger, but I am in no way an expert. I'm 20 days post op and I've had no cravings and I haven't been hungry at all. I get lots of tummy gurgles but the dr told me its stomach acid and its my new stomach waking up and getting feelings back after being cut. He prescribed Prilosec My problems right now aren't being hungry (thank goodness) it's not being able to drink enough fluids or eat enough to maintain my protein requirements. The protein drinks make me so full and bloated & gross feeling, after an ounce or two that I can't even sip water or eat ice chips for several hours afterwards.
March 17, 201313 yr I'm 2 months on Monday and I had crawfish this weekend and I was able to eat four or five it cause no heart burn or anything real easy to go down

March 18, 201313 yr I wouldn't advise them at 6 days out for sure. In a few weeks you should be allowed to have soft meats like fish and shrimp.. I'm 6.5 months out and had about 10-15 yesterday but I was eating and talking etc etc
March 18, 201313 yr I will be sleeved soon, and I am sure I will miss our seafood here. Nice to see Louisiana folks here :-)

March 18, 201313 yr When can I have crawfish again???? And how many? I'm so glad you asked this! I'm up in Shreveport and scheduled to have surgery next Monday. I've almost been mourning not being able to eat crawfish again this season and now I see that I may get to eat them again this year after all!! I'll take only eating a few just as long as I get to eat them again Good luck in your recovery! I can't wait to be there with you!
