Isn't crab and shrimp soft enough to eat now? I'm less than 2 months out and I've had shrimp already. I just chopped it up real good and chewed the life out of it. It was fine. Chipotle lime shrimp. mmmmmmm

I'm going on my 5th week and I am allowed all Proteins. I have been eating lots of sashimi, mmussles, salmon, shredded beef, chicken, etc. I just chew very well and make sure to eat s-l-o-w. it's very, very easy to overeat if you aren't paying attention.

I eat out A LOT and have not had a problem finding things to eat at restaurants. The hard part is refusing the bread before the meal :)

New Life, Don't be surprised if you can only eat 1 or 2 shrimp when you do try them. They are soft, but dense. I really thought I'd have 5 or 6 small shrimp when I first tried them, but I was done after 2 of them! :)

My first post op meal was a crab leg with a tiny squirt of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. I could barely eat one whole leg (granted it was a claw leg). Crab legs are VERY soft so I would think that as soon as you are put on soft foods you can enjoy them!

I'm 3 weeks post surgery & on puree. Friday I will be starting the soft food stage. This puree diet was rough. I can't wait to eat some seafood & chew something! How do I add the weight ticker at the bottom?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
