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

I have eaten scallops - more tender and melt in my mounth better than shrimp and I eat it too. They are low fat and high Protein so 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??

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
