Seafood ?

I have class this Thursday, but it is my last one this semester.  I wonder how long after surgery before I can swim again? It is my favorite exercise now. Sounds like fun and I am definately going to think about it.  Thanks!

Hi Kelly. 

A food that works for one person may not work for another.  So please don't be afraid to add foods to your diet as you go along.

I don't have any problems eating seafood.  Actually I do better with seafood than with pork, chicken, or red meats.  I had my surgery mid June 2008.  Late July 2008 I ate lobster for the first time and it tasted wonderful.  Give lobster a try...just skip the melted butter. 

After surgery one of the first solid foods I tried was shrimp.  It also does well with me.  I always keep frozen shrimp in my house.  It's great for a snack or lunch.  I do skip the sauce...umm well, usually.  I have been known to use ****tail sauce on a piece or two.

I also do well with crab and scallops.

But that's me.  Kelly if you try a food and it doesn't work for you don't hesitate to try it again in the future.  Sometimes I'll eat a food and do well with it.  I'll have it again in a few weeks and I just cannot eat it.  Then the third time I do well with it again.  Kelly also don't be afraid to try a food that you didn't care for previous to surgery.  You may find you like it now.
