Does salmon typically go down well? I'm craving grilled salmon with salt and pepper! It's on my plan but I don't want an adverse reaction to ruin it for me :)

Salmon was actually one of the first solid foods I ate after the surgery! It went really well for me. That being said, I've had an easier time than most other people when it comes to tolerating foods. Just go slow and listen to your body as you eat. Good luck!

Be careful not to overcook it. Dry salmon goes down rough! Lol

The trick with salmon is to eat only a few bites, then wait, and eat a few more bites. For me, it slides down quite well, and then I end up eating just a bit too much, and bam barf it all up. I'm two years out, so you'd think I'd have learned by now, but salmon is one of those foods that I absolutely must eat slowly or I get sick, likely because it ends up being so dense once it is actually in your stomach.

Salmon and other soft fish in general should go down well. I was advised to try and keep it as moist as possible to ensure it goes down smoothly.

Salmon is too heavy for me. And if it gets dry, you will regret life.

White flaky fish is much easier.

I eat quite a bit of salmon. Make sure you don't overcook it though. I tolerate it much better than any form of chicken, but have to eat it slowly and stop as soon as I feel full or it will come back up.

Fish and seafood are easier on my sleeve than chicken/poultry. I think because it's so soft ... If I do have chicken, I cook it in the crockpot and it purees well.

As with everything try a small bit and see how it sits then you can eat more.

Most people it seems have to issues with salmon, but I did! Hurt like heck first time I tried about a month out. Waited about 2 more months and had it again and it was fine!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
