Hi, I tryed Cod fish about a month out and it was "GREAT" fish and all seafood is very good for you and also high in protein. Scallops have the highest grams of Protein and they are good. But when you are ready broil your fish, first fish because it will be easier to go down, shrimp till this day every now and then I have trouble with because it is a little tuffer. Well Good Luck and WELCOME to the LOSING SIDE :) Christine 18 months Post-op and 151lbs lighter :)

I have been eating shring and crab legs since I was less a month out. I love to eat at Red Lobster and Fridays has a wonderful grouper and veggies. I have some trouble with some shrimps depending on how tuff they are. I hasve been eating white fishes since about 2-3 weeks out post-opt. However I my stomach dont hack tuna very well. These all very god for us(high in protein). I try to eat seafood as often as possible because i have a hard time with other meets. Take care Jen:)

Crab legs, shrimp, lobster, white fish are among the most easily tolerated protein sources I've found and one that I could eat at about 6 weeks out and have been enjoying ever since. I love crab cakes, using a low-fat mayo to make them. I love shrimp cocktails and steamed fish.

I love crab !! just be mindful of the butter or do what I do dip it in hot sauce or salsa. If you are one of the brave souls who cook crab if you add things to the water, it comes threw in the meat. I cannot tell you about lobster or duck, I don't eat it. Cod, orange roughy, pollock ( if I spelled that right ) white fish are all good, and great protein, and they are mild flavored fish. Enjoy...

At your stage, i would suggest steaming your white fish, cod or sole or roughy for example, for another week or so. I think at about 4-5 weeks out, I was eating crab cakes and by 6 weeks, certainly crab and lobster. Crab and lobster is a little tougher than white fish so try the white fish first. You can place in tin foil with some butter, poke holes in the top of the tin foil, add a bit of water and steam it..yum. you may want to wait a week or two for broiled. Also, never reheat fish in the microwave...it just dries it out. I learned that after eating some delicious broiled salmon at about 6 weeks post-op, when I went to have leftover, it was the most horrid pouch pain!! Not moist enough....

At 2 years out, I can eat all the things you asked about. I was eating shrimp by 1 or 2 months aout along with most fish. A bit later on I had lobster. I eat duck, (oner of my favorites) but pull of most of the skin, to avoid the grease. I tryu to be sure that it is cooked in a manner where much of the faqt runs off while it is roasting. I believe I was close to, or over a year before I had it though. Good luck to you!

I am a little over 4 weeks out and I have had cod twice this week! I put it in foil with some butter and lemon pepper....laid it on the top grate of my grill for about 10 minutes. It came out tender and moist and ooooohhh so good. I went to Sam's tonight and bough shrimp, scallops, salmon, and tilapia....Fish...its whats for dinner!!
