Leslee 0 Posted August 28, 2008 I had my surgery on 8/15 and have had no probelms...I am on mushies and soon to go onto real food. I love raw fish....Are raw oysters compatible with the lap band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna113 2 Posted August 28, 2008 As long as you eat them by themselves on an empty stomach, they should slide right through, I think. They are pretty slimy and pliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandy~ 2 Posted August 28, 2008 I am not really sure thats something you would wanna eat in the mushy stage. Once you have restriction too it might be a little tough getting em down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowbird 2 Posted August 28, 2008 The general rule is "chew until it's goo." I don't know if I would want to do that to a raw oyster. On second thought, there isn't anything I would want to do to a raw oyster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donna113 2 Posted August 28, 2008 With good companions, good alcohol, cocktail sauce and crackers, it can be quite delicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Dionna, I got banded on the 20th and I don't know from experience yet since I am still on my liquid diet BUT I think you are just going to have to try it and see how it works for you. You probably don't chew them much when you used to eat them, but you should chew it (or try at least) to help it get as small as possible- GOOD LUCK HUN! Let us know how is goes down :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
