Question:
Can we have artificial crab meat?
I discovered artificial crab meat at the seafood counter at Wal-Mart today. Can we have it post-op? It tastes great and I actually do not mind eating it plain. I forgot to ask for any nutritional information while there. Can y'all help? (T-minus 4 days and counting) — emtp435 (posted on September 26, 2003)

I was told I could eat scallops, fish, shrimp. Since imitation crab is
mostly white fish, I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem. My husband loves
to eat it plain too.

I've had it ever since the pureed stage (when I was making "Neptune
Salad"). Just compare brands - some of them are higher in protein
and lower in carbs than others. The imitation lobster is good too...JR

I eat it often, tolerate it well. it is low in fat and a good protein
source.

Sure, just compare packages. Some are fairly high in sugars. </p>
I love the stuff.

Artificial crab meat.... garrrrrr (Homer Simpson druel).
I love it! As far as the last poster, why the worry on 11 carbs in 4 ounces
of meat? Four ounces would be pretty big for our small guts.... and there
should be plenty of protein to offset the measly 11 ounces of carbs. I try
to watch the carbs too, but 4 ounces of meat is fairly big porton.
Personally I don't think I could eat that much very easly. :)

Well, I certainly hope we can eat it and I can tolerate it, always loved
it, mostly in salads, make it alot the same way I would any tuna product.
My Grocer had it on sale this week and I stocked the freezer, good sale
price. Patricia 9-30-03 314/190? hopeful

I eat imitation crab ALL the time! I love crab, but I can't always go out
and eat it, so I do the fake thing. It's mostly fish anyway, so why not.
It's really satisfying for the seafood tooth.

Thanks Folks. Over 2 years out and 240 lbs gone!! As for the artificial
crab meat; I learned it's loaded with potatoe starch and high in carbs. I
have avoided it since then and only have it on occasion. My wife is 3
months out and 50 lbs gone and has it occasional as well.
