One of the Medical Assistants at my surgeons office informed me that seafood is easier to digest than regular meats. So, I’m in the purée phase my husband bought me a crab cake. Let me tell you I was able to eat half of it! It was soo good, I will admit I probably should have only eaten a quarter because I was really full but I didn’t get heartburn or nadeau. I tried a piece of tilapia and what a horrible experience, it felt like it was stuck in my chest! This is when someone informed me that Tilapia is not real fish, so I guess I have to stick with “pure’ seafood. Has anyone else had success with seafood this early (only 3 weeks since gastric sleeve)?

Im four months post op and I can not eat any meats like seafood is my only meat. The funny thing is I crave it constantly. Here is the strange part salmon makes me queasy, I loved salmon before the surgery but not after. That bothers me. Am i going out of my mind tho? lol!

What are your symptoms after eating meat?

The salmon is probably too high fat for you right now and sits heavy, making you queasy. That used to happen to me, although now, I do just fine with it. Try a white fleshed fish like basa/pangasius/swai (all the same fish)--it's very delicate and mild.

Like my stomach hurts. My stomach turns. Then I face hyper salivation, Then followed by the need to vomit. I dont vomit but it feels like it. Lol but when I eat shrimp, crab, crab legs, mussels. I feel nothing

Exactly, my experience also. I can eat almost a whole plate (small of course) of shrimp, crab, fish and feel fine. Its because seafood is not as dense as other food and more easily digested. Seafood is also a great source of protein!

Seafood gumbo, without the rice is good too.

What is that experience called, I’ve had that a few times, and I always end up vomiting. Its only happened like 3 times, and it was when I forgot to chew enough. I learned not to do it.
