Does anyone have a problem with eating shrimp? I know we can eat lobster and fish (after healing, obviously), but my Inamed booklet said shrimp may be a problem - and I love shrimp :)

I haven't tried shrimp because I had the worst PB on some scallops! Sometimes it is hard to chew the shellfish thoroughly! Let me know if it works out!

No problems here with shrimp, I have eaten a variety of sizes, and cooked in a variety of ways---DH and I tend to share!!! As with everything new---take it slow, and chew forever!!!!

I tried two medium shrimp last night for dinner, they worked out really good, I did a shrimp cocktail kind of thing, I took two out of the freezer, threw them in some boiling Water, when they got pink, took them out, put them back in the freezer for 1/2hour then had them for dinner...Yummy and no problems with the band!

I handle shrimp better than almost any other meat. After my fills, I am very restricted for about a week and can hardly get things to pass. Shrimp has always saved me and I tolerated without any problems. After the post fill week, everything settles and Im back to sampling everything - but shrimp cocktail is my best friend sometimes.

Scallops work well for me. Shrimp I can't handle at all and I have to be careful with lobster. I live on flounder, salmon, and tilapia.

Shrimp, crab, lobster and fish are my life savers. I CANNOT do PORK (loin, chops, pulled pork. ham is fine)! My surgeon says if you chew well enough anything will go- not pork!!

I was not such a big shrimp and fish eater pre band- now I cant get enough!!

Shrimp was my friend up until my last fill. I had my first PB in the Chili's parking lot after eating their grilled tequila shrimp. NEVER AGAIN!

I live on shrimp and fish. I can not eat chicken... I don't like it and it will get stuck. I eat shrimp prepared all different ways. No problem.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
