Shrimp?

 Thanks so much!  My surgery date is listed under my photo there on the left.  I appreciate the advice!  I'll try harder to slow down :)

Shrimp is my almost daily treat.  i always have them in the fridge or freezer for days when i don't get in my protein needs or when i have an extra hungry day.  I've had no problems and never saw them on a no no list.  So if you are not having a problem with them i would say you are fine.  What would get stuck unless you're consuming them with the shell.

You know scratch that, i just looked at your surgery date.  Also not the best thing if you have high cholesterol.

 I've been on solids since week 3.  Dr. took me off my cholesterol medicine after surgery.  havent gotten it checked yet though.  It must be down though with hardly eating anything for 6 weeks now.

Hi khessmd, I would think it is still quite early for shrimp. I would hold off until at least after 2 months. I was sleeved 2/16 and I can have chilli now, but nothing like shrimp. I can have only soft white fish. I baked some catfish on yesterday & could only eat 1 oz.  So take it slow & let everything heal, then you can have all those things you used to love just in much smaller portions. Starting next Friday I can have deli meats, can't wait!!

 Enjoy your progression in your diet!  The deli meats will be a treat for you i'm sure.  My doctor / NUT didnt have anything like that.  I went from soft foods  to solids.  So I'm trying out different things now :)

Being from the south, any seafood has been a part of my diet since I could eat solid foods.  Now, I dont do them fried because the batter fills me up but I loved boiled shrimp and at alot of restraurants I can get away with ordering a shrimp ****tail and being full after that! Shrimp are a great source of protein, jus****ch out how they are prepared because they can have alot of sodium in them.  I cut mine into little pieces and chew them well, I have never had an issue!

 That's good to hear!  I can eat solids now so I am trying different things to see how well it goes down.  Experimenting hehe.  Up here in Maryland we cook a lot of our seafood with Old Bay seasoning .. especially our crabs.  It is full of a lot of sodium but it is so good.  Very spicy though.  With shrimp though the old bay gets peeled off with the shell.

 I have Been eating both shrimps and chili since about 3 weeks out with no problem. The shrimp are sautéed and the chili is home made. 

I lived in MD for quite awhile.  

You gotta suck on the shrimp before you peel it!  That gets you all the juice and old bay!
