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 :(

Thus far no problems for me, as long as it is the cooked, peeled cocktail schrimp and I chew very well.

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!

Shrimp works well for me. I've been reluctant to attempt scallops.
Clams I have carefully whizzed to mere bits. And on occasion I do eat them cut into LITTLE pieces...chewed well....no talking or TV during eating clams!!!
For some reason I have about lost my interest in regular fish, don't know why....

Shrimp goes down fine for me. I've probably eaten a couple of pounds of shrimp cocktail in the past few weeks.

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.

State: New York | 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.

State: Tx | Thank Goodness I can
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!
