Raw Oysters?



Recommended Posts

I'm guessing these are a no-no, since they cannot be chewed into small bits...I guess if I slurped down a whole one it would have no way of getting through the stoma. Does this mean I can never enjoy a good, cold, fresh, raw oyster ever again?!?

I've eatten them without a problem except for the 'eye'. Sometimes I need to swallow it in small pieces.

Thanks, Jazlady, that makes me feel better. I'm in New Orleans too, so you know how important oysters are to my well-being!

i've had gulf coast oysters several times - no problems.

you just have to try food to see if you can/can not handle it......crawfish season is here - YUM!!!!

Oh man don't rub it in :tt2: I haven't had those since I lived in the south... if you told someone in Oregon you wanted a crawfish they would look at you like your senile.

I was too scared to try them pre-banded, lol. Now I wouldn't have the heart.

Sometimes with foods I am not sure about, I just cut them up into pieces. It might be a little messy with oysters and they may not look any more appealing chopped . . . but it could be a safe option and they would taste the same.

Can I come live with you? I don't mind the remodel noise. I miss real food. Hippy foods ok for a while but I am dying to have something good.

Tonight were going to a fish house that promises that it's fresh and the fish changes daily depending on the catch...

Sashimi here I come... God please be fresh.

But a fresh oyster does sound rather yummy !!!

never had raw oysters...

heck the first time i had sushi was like two weeks ago .. i had mini salmon rolls.. uyummy.. i was only able to eat 4, before my band yelled stop!!!!! i think 4 mini is equal to 1 large roll right???

but anyways as soon as i can get walking like a healthy young adult and not like th hunchback of notre dame im going to purchase some more sushi rolls..

as far as crawfish... never tried it... Is it good???

Does it have a very strong taste or is it a more mild fish??

Smaller oysters like kumamotos and tottens might be a tasty solution. They are closer to being a normal bite-size piece of meat unlike the larger varieties that are probably 2 to 3+ bites if you were actually going to cut it up and eat it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
