mmmmmmmmmmmmm scampi - one of my faves... with a big dollop of tartare sauce... I can eat a whole bag and more!!!! Kelly, you've not had that much to eat today, so if you only have a normal portion size of about 6-9 pieces then you should be ok. but this is only my opinion.... I wouldn't trust myself not to eat it all so I don't buy it now. What about a large salad rather than the peas to cut down on carbs?

ooooo wellllll ive not much salad in (waiting n shopping sat) i think im well under my calouries for today so it should be ok hey, but it is like a treat in a controlled way.. i LOVE scampi!! mmm mmm with mayo or tartare but i wont have it ha the calouries on it is quite low, the fat is so so.... oooooo maybe i shouldnt...............

hmmm, its one of those difficult situations .... if you've got the calories available and its your main meal of the day then have it but don't go mad portion-wise.

If you have something else for tea instead would you feel deprived that you didn't have the scampi? ...particularly if you view the scampi as a treat...

from personal experience I know that if I really wanted something, then changed my mind and had something else, I would feel deprived and would probably end up having the scampi anyway - especialy if I was going to be cooking it for the family. Then I feel massive guilt - which I probably wouldn't do if I'd had it as originally planned - as part of a balanced diet and in moderation!

Its got to be your decision tho....

Hi Kelly, It sounds bloomin lovely and healthy, i suppose it's about portion controll, and i dare say if its with salad that would be ok?
Are you on the diet where you have to lose a certain % before the op? Or are you just being EXTREMELY good?
Either way you go girl!! xxx

Kelly you haven't eaten much today so i would say a controlled portion of scampi would be okay... Turn the tv/stereo off, remember to put your cutlery down between mouthfuls and really try and concentrate and enjoy the flavours..... Sometimes we eat food and don't really savour it, post op you notice more flavours...........

Enjoy and don't forget your squeeze of lemon xx
