food question! Actually, I have another one I didn't want to post yet, but I will now.

First..

I'm southern and I LOOOOOVE grits. To me, they're a great solution. They can be liquidy and go down easy right? But I've seen people mention not being able to eat grits anymore?

I had bought a couple boxes pre-op to have during mushies.. and now I'm wondering if I can have it? I hear mixed things, so if people who like grits and tend to eat them on a regular basis (or can't now?) let me know if grits are an iffy item to eat or not!

Second..

Crab? My book from IName says common items people have problems on is shrimp. What about crab? I looked through and saw some comments on crab, but nothing definitive. I hate fish, shrimp I could take or leave, but I love crab. And I don't like chicken, but I love beef. Don't like pork.. basically, been trying to see what 'meats' I'll eventually be able to enjoy without much PB risk. I ruled out most steaks, chicken (good riddens), and shrimp. Fish sounds like it's ok, but I don't like fish. I would love to be able to eat crab again. So in experienced bandsters experience.. yay or nay on crab?

Just so you know, my official first 'mushy' food is going to be crab. Ever since I started this thread I've been craving crabcakes.

My husband's first mushy last night was crab mixed with a light mayo. He splurged and bought the real stuff and savored every bite he ate...it wasn't much, but he sure did enjoy it...something to look forward to. When do you start your mushies?

oh yeah, my hubby blended the crab and the mayo in the blender to make it more spreadable...don't know if that would make a difference...

mmmmm

i get mushies in 10 days

Getting ready to add mushies this weekend and I am so excited, as I think I might have told laura in another post I love grits too.

but anyway, my point, Mark - you are cracking me up - that is the funniest thing ever. Ok doesn't take much to humor me. Please tell me you didn't know all those off the top of your head:pound:

Thanks for the comments. And no, I did not know all those. Just found a recipe book on line and started typing away. :biggrin1:

Well thank you Mark, nice to wake up and see such a great sense of humor!

Great way to start the day
