Was just curious how crab meat was tolerated after being banded? I'm in the mushy stage and am thinking about trying a very moistly made crab cake.

Every crab cake I have ever had is loaded with butter or some kind of grease. I would imagine it would upset your stomach, but honestly I don't know.

Startingover,

Have a thing for crab cakes too and crab dip and I remember not being able to tolerate them when I was too tight. I know there are many ways to make them etc... so I'm sure you can come up with a healthy version that suits you. I've gotten them at the Outback Steakhouse before and they were really good but otherwise I have to buy them frozen from Phillips. I guess if Proteins are allowed you should be fine. You can always just eat a portion and save the rest for later. Nanook:smile:

Hey

I've made my own crab cakes and haven't had any problem with being able to digest them or worry about whats in them. I simply purchase a container of lump crab meat and make it myself.

edna, could you please tell me how you make the crab cakes. I'd like to try them, I never had one. thanks. do you just buy the crab meat in a can?

I'm five months out and for some reason crab cakes and I do not get along very well, everyone's different, just be careful.

edna, I'd be interested in that recipe too. Please post it! Please! Please! Please!

It's very simple

1-12 oz container of lump crab meat (drain liquid)

1/4 cup diced onion, green pepper, red pepper

10 no-salt ritz crackers (finely crush)

1 egg

pinch salt, black pepper, ground red pepper ( I also like to use cajan seasoning)

Mix all together, shape into small cakes

bake in 350 perheat oven until golden brown.

enjoy!!!!

thank you so much for the recipe. I love crab cakes also but they are so expensive when you buy them premade.

of ALL the Proteins out there, crab seems to be the easiest to digest and the best tolerated for me. This is what I often order if I go out to eat. It's on many appetizer menus, and is just the right amount. I seem to lose faster with ingestion of shellfish for some reason as well. We have a crab boil at the house about once a month, since we live on the coast. I could sit and pick crab for hours. I love it. I make my own crabcakes and bake them. I spray my baking pan with PAM. They are not quite as good baked, but still delicious. My recipe?

1 cup picked crab meat

2 tbls. finely chopped green onions and bell pepper

sprinkle of parsley

2 tbls. fat free mayo

2 tsp. worchestershire sauce

1/2 cup ritz crackers crushed fine

dash of cayanne pepper

1 beaten egg

gently pat into round balls and then flatten on sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes on 350. YUMMMMMM

The crab cake appetizer from Ruby Tuesday's was my first post-op solid meal when I was done with liquids & mushies. It was wonderful and I was able to eat about 1/2 before feeling stuffed. I was very excited hehe.

I have had the crab shells that are stuffed since then and I have had no problems as long as I eat it slow.

I LOVE crab cakes and they go down easily for me. Like anything, try a little first and go from there.

Ruby Tuesdays crab cakes are very good1
