I'm three weeks post op, transitioning between puréed and soft foods. Tuna, flaky fish, canned chicken are all ok.

This weekend is my anniversary and id love to go to a seafood restaurant. Has anyone had experience with crab? What about the butter?

I had a bite of steak last week and that was a HUGE mistake.

Beef is usually a tough Protein to tolerate. Sometimes a "wet" beef is tolerated better--such as beef made in a crock pot or a stew beef. Wait a while and then try it again.

I have never had a problem with any seafood as long as it is moist. Whether that means a "Newburg" recipe or buttery, seafood is just yummy and sleeve friendly for me.

Just take little bites and be patient. You'll be in no big hurry anyway, right? You'll be celebrating!

Have a wonderful anniversary dinner.

Chew chew chew, but I don't have any issues with seafood. Enjoy!!!

I had scallops and shrimp about three or four weeks post-op. I would've careful with the butter. I found that post-op, fats like mayo and butter made me a little woozie and that a little goes a long way.

Update: crab went well! I ate about 3 snow crab legs. Butter wasn't really necessary. . Success in adding a new food.

Interesting to hear that fats make you woozy. Yes- that's what happened with the bite of steak. I am scared to death to try sweets, but luckily I have no real desire to try for now.

Crab season just started in San Francisco and was on sale at the grocery store for 5 bucks a pound. I ate it with a little bit of cocktail sauce and it was delicious (I still have about 5 ounces left) after eating it 2 days in a row. I am thinking a crab omelet tomorrow

I hope you had a nice anniversary and enjoyed your seafood meal.

Regarding eating a bite of steak at two weeks post-op, that was a little early. Follow your post-op plan.

I'll be a week post-op as of tomorrow. A month post-op I'll be traveling to Jamaica 5/9 for vaca/friend's destination wedding. Hoping I'd be able to enjoy foods/seafoods by then. Anyone believe that would be possible?

By a month post-op I was on soft foods. As long as you stick with soft fish or seafood you should be fine if that is the stage you are on.

By a month post op ill be on soft foods transitioning to regular food every plan is different
