When are we allowed to try them? Or is it something we can't have at all? I ask because before surgery I loved them

Well, I guess it depends on how they are prepared. If they are baked and mainly crab meat, I don't see why not. I would be very careful since a lot in restaurants are fried and have a lot of butter and even mayo type sauces on them. Pretty rich.

Fried foods are a no-no-bread crumbs are a no-no...full fat mayo and grease to cook em are a no-no. I wouldn't.

Lol I hate any seafood so I don't even know why I read this thread but you made me laugh.

All of that is totally true.

Let me clarify...when I had them they were broiled (not fried) and not breaded, nor did I use any mayo for dipping. If you are going to try them, purchase the lump crab cakes and prepare at home in your oven so you know exactly what you are eating. There are MANY ways to have foods that you have enjoyed in the past, you just have to revise the preparation. I did eat them in soft foods bc my surgeons rule was anything that could be cut with a fork--a broiled crab cake falls apart so definetly worked for me. I have operated under the rules of my surgeon at all times-if it's a new food I haven't had, I prepare at home first so that I know it meets my Protein expectation along w carbs and sugars. If you liked something in the past, be creative and try to find ways to make it work now. I hate it when someone tells me "no" but love it when I find a way to make it work for my new life-good luck

I totally agree with you. I had planned to make them at home so that everything In them was allowed. I don't plan on eating anything I'm not allowed too.

I should hope that ANYONE in this forum knows that fried, high fat foods are not allowed.

      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?

      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.
