I was able to do scallops pretty much early out. With my crazy pouch, I was happy something I really loved was still tolerable.

So funny how everyone is so different.

I am vertical band to bypass revision also

I think I am a little different in that I have no issues with any food.

But i think our being used to chewing well really helps.

I do very well with scallops and fish, but I only eat it if it moist.

I could see problems by some if it is very dry.

I agree - eating slowly and chewing well, keeping food moist - has worked well for me.

Salmon is not ok for me. I tried it a few times after surgery since it is such a good protein/calorie ratio...each time I was sick as a dog. I think it is too fatty for me. Shrimp...yes...never have had a problem. Scallops...they are just yucky so no by choice. I did have one at Thanksgiving since my friend had made them just for me ("Oh gee thanks..." painful fake grin) and I didn't have any issues with it other than I didn't like the taste. Even before surgery I was never really a seafood lover. Shrimp is pretty much the only seafood I will go out of my way to eat.

Totally fine with scallops but everyone is different. I would only try a new food at home but that's just me. Good luck!

Yeah I can do Mahi Mahi or haddock. but shrimp is ok. it's funny, you would think a nice piece of fish would go down good. definately not. I have not tried scallops but if you do please let us know how it goes.

I have not had any problems with any protein, but I always make sure it's moist, I'm a band to bypass revision as well.

I agree with testing at home first.

Love scallops. But they are dense for me food. Even now - 4-5 mid size is a meal for me. Evening meal. I can eat 4-5 oz of fillet and a few bites or veggies. Or 4 scallops.

When eating out - a lot of places use sweet sauce with scallops. Bad, bad choice for me.

Salmon, shrimp, scallops, really any fish is tough for me at three months out. More of a texture issue. Scallops are rubbery if overcooked, same with all fish. I just do not trust anyone else to cook things RARE for me. If you are going to try them cook them yourself, barely.
