I have made myself eat a 4 oz piece of Talipia fish. I chewed, chewed, chewed and chewed and it took about 2 hours of heating and reheating. I made the fish juicy with catsup. How long before eating becomes more normal? I am trying to get my protein in and this piece was 20 g of protein. I think at this rate I will need a protein supplement.

OH cheese AND CRACKERS!!! I THOUGHT THAT SAID 40 OZ!! hahahaha

I was not allowed to chew anything for weeks!! Be careful there

Thank you all for your comments. I have been trying to use the Protein supplements and I hate them! I am sick of the post surg shakes I drank. I think I can tolerate the Bariatric Advantage pre op meal replacements a little better. I bought Muscle Milk and can't stand it! The protein shots upset my stomach as do the muscle milk.

I'm still trying to force down cottage cheese and the fish and some Egg Beater. I think I'm getting it down a little better. Still a long way to go. I am following the doctors instruction sheet on what to and what not to eat. I'm to stay on this from day 22 to day 40. Also, I took the catsup advice to heed and am using unsweetened applesauce instead with the fish.

Thanks again.

Hi, are you 8 weeks post op ? If you are 8 weeks out, I think soft baked fish would be ok to eat. I havnet been able to eat fish yet, Im four 1/2 weeks out. But I think I could try it at this stage. still struggling with mushies. As time go by, it will get a little easier.
