Hopefully I am contributing to this thread as I have not read all the responses. For me, canned salmon from trader joes worked really really well during my initial food selection when starting on solids. The reason I like the canned wild salmon is because it was really easy to measure out 2 ounces with a measuring cup because it was really soft (read: easy to eat) And very portable (small can). It was also very tasty and i ate it every day for lunch until i could handle other Proteins like chicken, pork and beef. I still like eating salmon at home and when eating out now at 7 months out, but do not eat the canned salmon so much any longer, I do not like the taste of white wish as much just because there is not much flavor.

Actually Stef, for just this once :P I have to disagree with you.

What?!?!?! Thems fightin' words, Iggy! :lol:

I find denser fish (halibut in particular) much harder to eat than salmon or rock fish or even cod. Then if you go with cheeks, gad that's like eating scallops and I might get one down. For halibut I tend to have about an ounce to an ounce and a half, but for salmon I can eat three if it's moist (cooked correctly).

Interesting. I haven't had a ton of fish yet, but the same portion sizes of salmon, tuna and scallops all feel about the same to me.

I would also suggest Tilapia or Salmon. They are both my go-to when I'm at a resteraunt and not sure on healthy choices there. I do ask to make sure they don't cook them in butter or put sauces on them!

I am one of those that all my co-workers, family and most friends know about my surgery but just today encountered a funny a lunch. After a meeting a group of 6 women stopped at a new diner-type place. Now, I'm not usually nervous eating out anymore because I can usually find something, only eat a 1/3 of it and take the rest home or split with someone. But, for lunch their choices were meatlof, lazagna, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken or finally baked chicken with stuffing. So, I tell the server I would like the baked chicken, but she could just leave off the stuffing and then fresh green Beans. She says, "Our stuffing is really good, do you want me to put some on there for you?", and I said no, thanks I just want the chicken. She pressed me again and my friend looked at her and said, "She.does.not.want.the.stuffing" LOL! Just be persistant!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
