Does anyone have a problem with eating shrimp? I know we can eat lobster and fish (after healing, obviously), but my Inamed booklet said shrimp may be a problem - and I love shrimp :)

I haven't tried shrimp because I had the worst PB on some scallops! Sometimes it is hard to chew the shellfish thoroughly! Let me know if it works out!

No problems here with shrimp, I have eaten a variety of sizes, and cooked in a variety of ways---DH and I tend to share!!! As with everything new---take it slow, and chew forever!!!!

I tried two medium shrimp last night for dinner, they worked out really good, I did a shrimp cocktail kind of thing, I took two out of the freezer, threw them in some boiling Water, when they got pink, took them out, put them back in the freezer for 1/2hour then had them for dinner...Yummy and no problems with the band!

I handle shrimp better than almost any other meat. After my fills, I am very restricted for about a week and can hardly get things to pass. Shrimp has always saved me and I tolerated without any problems. After the post fill week, everything settles and Im back to sampling everything - but shrimp cocktail is my best friend sometimes.

Scallops work well for me. Shrimp I can't handle at all and I have to be careful with lobster. I live on flounder, salmon, and tilapia.

Shrimp, crab, lobster and fish are my life savers. I CANNOT do PORK (loin, chops, pulled pork. ham is fine)! My surgeon says if you chew well enough anything will go- not pork!!

I was not such a big shrimp and fish eater pre band- now I cant get enough!!

Shrimp was my friend up until my last fill. I had my first PB in the Chili's parking lot after eating their grilled tequila shrimp. NEVER AGAIN!

I live on shrimp and fish. I can not eat chicken... I don't like it and it will get stuck. I eat shrimp prepared all different ways. No problem.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
