Shrimp! Who Would Have Thought!



Recommended Posts

Man! If you like seafood this is an awesome way to get your Protein quota outta the way!!!! I buy a bag of frozen shrimp at costco - 7 SHRIMP = 18g of PROTEIN and 100 calories! This is going to save my life cuz I am sick of those protein shakes! Granted I still have to do a Protein Shake but now I can cut one out of the day! YIPEEE. Just thought I'd share my excitement! :-) :-D :-P

Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp Soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, and bariatric shrimp. That- that's about it.

Oh man, man, maynard! I am feeling you brother! :-)

Yes Shrimp is the best... I made an omelet with shrimp for dinner the other night after a very intense work out.. one egg and about 4 shrimp.. couldn't eat it all but it was so good... I was worried that shrimp wouldn't agree with me after surgery because I heard a lot of people can't.. but thankfully I can still eat it..

Since I am not a real fish eater, but have always loved shrimp, I now eat it constantly! Like Bubba gump said you can prepare it so many ways and never get tired of it. I am still trying to find some different ways.

Sounds great! Can you share your recipe for your ceviche since it is the best?

I am writing from the airport in Santiago Chile. I have been pounding down ceviche all week. It is perfect sleeve food. I even had enough carbs left over to have a beer.

      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.
