I am packing up and headed home

I have to be there at 8a. My surgery was cancelled twice due to my low potassium levels. I can't believe it's finally going to happen tomorrow.

Well, it's about to go down. Wish me luck!

Pain is almost non existent this morning. I have been walking six times a day so far and it seems to have helped greatly. How are you doing?

Got sleeved this morning. Pain was bad at first but way better this evening.

Just met with the surgeon and ready to go in

There is a psych dr right across the street from Dr Neff's office. Let me know if you need the number.

Let's check in on Monday. Mine is set for 10:30. Wish I had some medication to relax my nerves. Maybe tomorrow I will be better.

My surgery is October 6th as well. I'd love to be buddies!

BTW, until you are sure what you like, I would buy my fish at the meat counter at the grocery store. You can buy it in very small quantities (like one or two fillets of tilapia, 6oz of salmon, etc.). Once you find a few fish varieties you like, then you can buy them in quantity at places like costco or sams club.

I've always liked fish but when I started eating cleaner I craved it more.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about whether or not a fish is more or less "fishy" tasting. As long as it is fresh it won't taste as "fishy" as you may think.
Cod and tilapia, while ok, really aren't my favorites because they are so mild.
I probably put fish in three categories:
tuna and salmon (in cans and pouches) are pretty much staples for me, especially tuna. I love tuna and can eat it plain or can dress it up for tuna salad, etc. I just got a tin of Spanish muscles so if anyone has a suggestion on how to use them I'm all ears. I have considered trying some of the more exotic preserved fishes but am not quite sure what to do with them.
Seafood. Like shrimp, scallops, crab, clams, etc. I love seafood grilled. Since I am no longer eating fried fish, I probably won't be eating any clams.
Fresh fish (frozen is ok). I love sole, trout, catfish, salmon, tuna, red snapper, etc. Even before I had weight loss surgery, if I went out to a fine dining restaurant, I usually got the fish. Tilapia and cod are ok. I do keep tilapia in the freezer because it is cheap and plentiful. I just make sure to use more herbs and spices.
Have fun. Once you find out how delicious it is, you can have fun trying different flavors.

Salmon is nice, with lemon.
