Have any of you tried scallops since being banded and how did it go? I have been eating shrimp, crab, and hard boiled eggs w/no problem (thinking of things w/a similar texture).

I've been craving scallops and my husband and I are going out for a fancy dinner on Friday. I saw scallops on the menu. I'm sure they'll be the big tender ones. I'm just hesitating because I don't normally try anything 'new' when I'm out. What do you think?

I would go for it! Scallops are tender and break down easy. Enjoy!!!

I had scallops on Sunday, July 4. I cut them into 4ths. They were okay for me at that point. Enjoy!!

Yay! So glad to hear scallops are not a problem food. I thought they should be good since I can eat shrimp and crab. I'm looking forward to having them tonight. I never make scallops at home because my husband doesn't like them.

Tried scallops, the big tender ones about a month or so ago. They were fine, I cut them up into the right size pieces. They were so tender that they just melted. I think you'll be safe ordering them!

I have much trouble with most meats, but scallops work great!

Enjoy!

I always screw them up when I cook them at home. Any of you scallop lovers have cooking methods to share?

Oh..humming bird I get them at Sam's Club..they are already pre-packaged with the bacon on them..just put them on a baking pan and throw them in the oven..they are the nice big ones..not the little ones I saw the other night at the grocery store. Other than that I put scallops in gumbo or chowder if you want either of those recipes..not sure if either of those are band friendly (calorie wise and such). I don't eat either of those I just make them for my husband..nice wife I am??

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
