I'm 2 1/2 months and Ivan only eat 2 large scallops. I can't believe they cost So much, they are a dollar a scallop!

At Jenneliza: I ate 3 med. scallops, and they went down so well. The smooth textures of the pea & fruit helped, too. And Ladydee, yes they are pricy inland, but I buy them right off the boat where I live, so I don't pay anywhere near $1/per scallop. They are basically low fat pure Protein and so quick to prepare---the ultimate healthy fast food for me. They are also delicious raw. I make a "cocktail" with the diced scallops, avocado, watermelon, and pickled ginger....YuM!

Scallops rock!! They are one of my go to foods. High in Protein, easy to swallow, and at $1 a piece, no more than a lean cuisine for what we can eat now...lol!

Paul, I am right there with you. How amazing is this and why the heck did it take us so long to discover it? At almost eleven months out, I can honestly say that I enjoy eating as much or more than I ever did. I love the foods I eat. They are healthy. I'm not hungry all of the time. I don't feel deprived. I truly don't miss all of the crap I used to eat. I'm not suffering in any way. Just amazing!!

Ive always ate scallops, just cooked in butter with sometype of bread around it. Now I'm eating it with just lemon, salt and pepper. Sometimes a little i can't believe it's not butter.

Well, I don't really use recipes...I just made it up. In addition to being a teacher, I sometimes work as a private chef for a family that eats ONLY healthy food.

Here's what I did: I pureed fresh garden peas (you could use frozen!) with a little sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce. I added home made chicken stock until it became the texture I wanted. Then I pureed a mango with lime juice, cilantro, Vietnamese chili garlic sauce, and rice wine vinegar. I seared the scallops in peanut oil. Be sure they are dry when you put them in the pan, and don't crowd them, otherwise they will steam and you won't get good caramelization. Frozen scallops do not sear well because they are full of Water...Plate it up and there you go. Even people who have not had WLS will love it...that is assuming they are lovers of seafood...

Thank you very much! I'm so happy that I will still be able to eat good, gourmet-ish meals that are WLS-friendly. My husband and boys are not fans of scallops, but I could probably substitute shrimp in this one very easily and make the whole family happy!

If you haven't already, try Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Seafood Magic" seasoning on broiled or baked fish, scallops, shrimp, almost any seafood. Available in most grocery stores' spice area. YUMMY!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
