I've tried eating fish the last two Fridays...due to Lent...and find that I just can't do it. After one or two small bites I'm feeling 'stuck!' Anyone else have problems eating fish?

How are you preparing and what kind are you eating

I eat fish almost every night - I eat catfish, talipa and salmon baked with a little olive oil & garlic (350 for 15 minutes)- I have had no problems - but I can eat almost anything including bread as long as i eat slowy - small bites and chew and I do have restriction..

Have you tried tuna salad with lite or n/f mayo? ?? - Fillett of Sole is quite soft too - and back in the day when we had to eat fish every friday - my mom fixed it almost every week - but coated with corn meal & fried with an almondine butter sauce - I will still coat my fish with corn meal - spray with pam and bake - so may just have to get some sole this weekend...

my favorite fish is cod and turbot, and i am having trouble with them getting stuck. the only way to get them down is by adding them to a minestrone or vegetable Soup so they are very moist.

Fish has been a staple of mine since my earliest soft food stage. The key is to get a nice, flaky fish, cook it perfectly, take tiny bites, and chew well. If the fish is underdone, it will be chewy, if it is overdone, it will be tough. I like tilipia, orange roughy, cod and grouper. I like to dip the filets in a little seasoned egg wash, then dip in a bit of seasoned Parmesan cheese, then saute in a little bit of EVOO in a small pan. Make sure you are cooking it for the correct amount of time and chew, chew, chew!

I had the same problem, but I was trying to eat tuna salad. I have since swapped to talapia and grilled shrimp and have no problems as long as I chew well and don't over eat. I forgot yesterday was friday and took a bite of turkey and had to spit it out and then settle for a Protein Shake for lunch so I feel your pain. ;) Take care.

I have trouble after about 3 bites of anything--even flaky fish. My doctor assures me everything is just fine with the band. I have no problem with my esophagus, and I have NO fill in my band. Yet, I still have trouble eating. It is unpredictable. Lately, I even have trouble throwing it back up...so I stay in pain for several hours. Does this happen to anybody else? What do you do about it?

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
