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. ????

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.

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.

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.

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.

I put the shrimp and mayo or humus and blend it up. I'm 8 day out and it goes down fine.

I had five grilled shrimp for dinner (central market) - I'm three weeks out! Chew, chew, chew.

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. :)

I eat the tails, and sometimes the shells. It's really good for your joints. It's what glucosamine is made from.

My NUT says to avoid shrimp until at least 6 months out. Apparently some people have trouble digesting it.

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!

        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
