I am about 7 weeks post op and having a very hard time getting in my protein. Mostly because I'm having a very hard time eating meat. I can't stand the taste, smell, or texture of chicken, beef, or pork. I was definitely a careworn pre op, so not sure what's going on. I don't eat fish, haven't eaten it since I was a kid. I reached out to my dietitian and she mentioned trying fish. Has anyone gone from hating fish to liking fish post op? For those who like fish, what fish should I try first that isn't so fishy and won't scare me away the first time?

tilapia is a good one not too fishy. Add cumin powder,salt and bake it. Or you can try shrimp that tastes like chicken a little and is high in protein.

Tilapia is good, I also like red snapper. I find that frozen fish isn't as fishy as fresh fish. Don't get the frozen fish with seasons on it b/c those r high in sodium. Also scallops has a lot of protein. 4oz has like 17 grams! Also crabmeat, shrimp.

How about Haddock, I find it has a firm meaty texture but not as firm as halibut and has no fishy taste, I absolutely love it!

I always think of Cod as a "starter fish". I guess because growing up it was the only fish I ever had and even that wasn't cooked by my Mom- it was fish & chips from a fast food place.

I buy frozen cod. I put a piece in a plastic container with a line of olive oil down it and then sprinkle it with lemon pepper. By the time I am ready for lunch at work the fish is thawed and the lemon pepper kind of melts into the olive oil. Quick to microwave and great with Broccoli.

Another vote for tilapia! I just had it tonight for the first time since my operation and I actually liked it. I sprayed a little "I can't believe it's not butter" and used cumin and garlic powder. It went on the foreman grill and was on my plate in less than 5 minutes (from frozen) and I actually really enjoyed it. I HATED fish pre-op so I was shocked. I am taking the other half to work tomorrow so I highly recommend you trying it.

Grouper is a fabulous non fishy fish

I love Arctic Char. It is kinda sweet actually..A soft pink color as well...Look I have a hard time eating Pork and beef...Before surgery ate fish about once every 2 weeks or so..Now all the time..That and poultry...Love it. Any kind will do.....

Others mentioned some I like as well..Had Cod last week and ate it cold on sandwiches for 3 days...A little mayo and salt and pepper. Oh and a romaine lettuce leaf..yum!!!!!!

Thanks everyone so much for the help!!!

Mahi- nonstick butter spray, a little salt and pepper, maybe some lemon juice. Cook on a pan 4 min ea side, yum!!! I get mine @ Sams. They are individually frozen in a bag.. They are great from the freezer to the pan.

If you like spicy/blackened food, I have a blackened salmon recip on my blog, but really you can use that with any kind of fish.
