I know fish is high in Protein and great for you. Pre-surgery (I'm 5 days out) I hated fish. But I want to try it. What are some mild ones that are ok to eat early on?

halibut and flounder are good too. I usually prefer stronger-tasting fish like mackerel and swordfish but I am always tempted by halibut when I see it on a menu!

Salmon IF you cut the skin off AND the dark brown streak it has down the middle.

Tilapia, swai, porgies and salmon are great mild tasting fish, although salmon is very meaty.

Mahi, salmon, sword fish, bass are my favorite and I didn't really eat fish until I was like 22. Also I eat it usually when dining out because I just can't cook good fish....

I really like haddock and cod. I grew up on the Midwest so wasn't a big fish eater till I moved to the east coast.

Be careful with swordfish if you are a woman of childbearing age, it can cause birth defects. I love talipia and swai they are both mild and easy to cook varying ways.

I don't really care for fish that much, but I can do Salmon. It tends to be meatier and when cooked right does taste really good. I don't eat the skin through! yuck

If you have a trader joes near you, go try their mahi mahi burgers (in the frozen section) - delish!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
