Breaded Proteins

As anyone tried breaded meats post op? I'm specifically talking about fish and seafood. I have some breaded shrimp that you bake NOT fry but I'm not sure how my post op body would deal with the breaded part. I'm 4 1/2 weeks post op.

I had one breaded chicken nugget oven baked and i felt fine. im not sure if its ok but im 6 weeks post op

Each bariatric group has different limitations so you'll want to follow what your group recommends for you. I believe most groups thought, prefer our proteins to not be covered in crumbs, crackers, flour etc because they tend to want to keep the carb count pretty low and the protein count high. Best bet is to call your nutritionist or surgeon's office. Good luck!

Thanks...yeah I figured it was bad for me but if I feel so bad throwing food out. Sadly I don't even care for the breaded shrimp. Prior to surgery I found it tastes strange but I hate wasting. That's probably part of the addiction. I was raised to clean my plate and not waste food.

If it's frozen shrimp I can bet if you let it thaw a bit you could actually pull the breading off. Then you could steam or quickly stir fry (with Pam) and have it that way. If it's the shrimp that tastes strange then maybe it does need to be thrown out. I wouldn't take your chances on seafood. Last think you want is to get sick from it.

I can't say we were told to clean our plates but, we were definitely rewarded with sweets - homemade cookies, cakes and other desserts. Hence why they become "comfort food". We all get it from somewhere.....cultures, up-bringing, social obligations etc. We can fix our anatomy with this surgery but, our thoughts need to change as well. Definitely NOT an easy task to do but, it is do-able just takes some work. Constant work LOL

I'm 4 monts post op and before surgery I LOVED clams on a half shell with lemon and hot sauce. A couple of weeks ago I was at a picnic and tried a clam and for what ever reason I lost my taste for clams :( I have found that I lost my tatest for a lot of my fav. foods after surgery... i guess that is a good thing ?????
