Seafood

[Gastricsleeve0514 1]

When did you first eat fresh seafood after surgery? For example, ceviche, clam, oysters etc? How many weeks or months post op were you? Im going to ask my doctor about this but I was just wondering right now since it is one of my favorites

About 3 months because they are tough.

All I can say is that at the 4 month mark...........my big arse was sliding his gut up under any and all bars that served char broiled oysters and Tito's vodka.

Skewered shrimp were had then, too.

Shrimp I had early, crab too, probably too early on crab, but it was delicious so yolo.

I had grilled salmon when I was on soft foods and hibachi shrimp and scallops within the first month.

Has anyone heard of food allergies going away after WLS? I know it's probably a stupid question but I am allergic to shrimp which means I also avoid lobster & crab and it sucks! I didn't development the allergy until I was in my 20's.

I doubt it. I mean a lot of people claim their tastes change but I am totally the same. I can't see surgery fixing an allergy and you sure don't want to test it out

Thanks @@OutsideMatchInside Wishful thinking! :-( I was going to ask about blood tests to check for food allergies to see if I still have one. I'd be so excited to be able to eat shrimp and lobster again.

If it changes be sure to post about it. There are lots of unknowns when it comes to surgery and we would love to hear about that

I had RNY surgery, whereas it appears that you had the sleeve. After surgery my taste buds changed. After a few months, I tried crab legs. I love the taste of crab legs prior to surgery, but they were tasteless after surgery.
