I buy tilapia and salmon at costco, package and freeze them in single serving size. My favorite for salmon is a ginger wasabi sauce I bought at a gourmet grocery. It's from Robert Rothschild Farm. One teaspoon is only 10 calories, and it's amazing. I'm sure if it's not available locally, you can find it on-line. For tilapia, I just sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on it and grill it on George Foreman, same goes for shrimp. I put them on a skewer and sprinkle Cajun seasoning on them. I'm just 2 and a 1/2 weeks post op, so I'm still on liquids, but I'm looking forward to having fish and seafood. They're going to be my Protein staples I'm sure.

I love fish, especially wild salmon and Ono. Wild salmon here in Washington. Ono when I travel to kauii every couple years. Ono is a very tasty fish, but hard to find in WA except at Asian market grocery stores.

I usually cook tilapia fish. I buy them frozen and I buy the smaller fillets. Walmart carries them (each fillet about 3-4 oz) I use a non-stick skillet and add just a little I can't believe it's no butter 1/2 tablespoon, season with a little salt, or sometimes no salt because the butter has salt. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes each side. That's all. Quick and simple

I also just cook frozen (thawed) tilapia in a non stick skillet on each side with whatever seasoning I'm in the mood for. I just cook until it's flaky. I'll use the parkay butter spray or just butter or olive oil cooking spray. I also will bake it with a mixture on top of fat free Greek yogurt, couple tablespoons of freshly grated parm cheese and dill and/or other seasonings. Bake until flakey also. I eat/crave considerably more fish post sleeve.

I keep my fish pretty basic. So that I do not spoil expensive fresh fish, I buy frozen bags of salmon and tilapia at the grocery store. I buy the highest quality of olive oil I can get too (why not, I'm saving so much $ on food anyways might as well get good s**t)

How I cook my fish:

Pan fried

Olive Oil

Real Butter

Mrs. Dash - Lemon Pepper or Garlic Blend

Salt

Pepper

Cooks in about 10 min or less

Tip: Thaw the frozen fish by running it under warm/hot Water for 2min before cooking in the pan, cooks and thaws much faster.

easy, simple, delicious

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
