I can call tomorrow but wanted to try a new lw cal Mexican shrimp tonight. dde03 The texture of shrimp to me is closer to baked chicken than baked fish. It tends to be firmer & more fibrous. I won't go as far as to say you can't have it, but be ready to do a lot more chewing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted January 20, 2013 I have always wondered if it is good for shrimp tails to go through your sleeve and digestive system. Out of habit, I still eat the tails off shrimp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver's Mom 258 Posted January 20, 2013 Everyone is different, but I tried shrimp - shredded really fine and mixed with a little low fat mayo when I was OK'd for soft food.It was rough. I waited about 10 days then tried shrimp again, this time as shrimp cocktail - chewed it really well and it went down ok. If you really wanted to eat it, I would try a bite, chew it forever, then wait a few minutes before you try another bite. Shrimp is my favorite!! So I was determined to keep trying it til I could eat it. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geminidrive 389 Posted January 20, 2013 I love shrimp and it was a staple during my soft stage, I just diced it up very fine and mixed it in with eggs or plain greek yogurt. You should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted January 21, 2013 y Yikes! I can just picture that! Pain and suffering?!?!? Surprisingly no pain and suffering. Perhaps it is because I am 6 months out. I am going to try to not eat the tails any longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of habit' date=' I still eat the tails off shrimp.[/quote'] I eat the tails, and sometimes the shells. It's really good for your joints. It's what glucosamine is made from.

MsVeDub 32 Posted January 21, 2013 My NUT says to avoid shrimp until at least 6 months out. Apparently some people have trouble digesting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted January 21, 2013 I start my soft food stage today. It says I can have baked fish. Do you think that would include shrimp? I can call tomorrow but wanted to try a new lw cal Mexican shrimp tonight. I could have tuna fish, but no shrimp or Cod etc until week 6 when I started on regular food. Shrimp is something I keep on hand, frozen in a bag, to eat at lunch some times. Fish is THE easiest 'meat' on my tummy, i can eat all, but this is the least dense. I'm 2.7 years out!
