Eggs Protein Source *sigh* no more - Atlantic Cod Recipe suggestions?



Recommended Posts

I used to love eggs! Now I can't stand the taste of them! I thought I'd try some the other day and couldn't stand the taste then. So I waited again today and thought mmmm maybe with some cheese! Still a no go! I'm on pureed foods but this was one that I could have that wouldn't be pureed. Oh well - eggs off the list!

I have been making a pureed chicken salad and it is such a hit in my house I am lucky to get any!

Tomorrow I will try Atlantic Cod. Does anyone have any recipe suggestions? No one likes this so it could be all mine! lol

Hi Patty:

This is terrible because I don't have an actual recipe BUT I can tell you the ingredients I use! I puree canned chicken with a little onion, maybe a 1/4 tsp of lemon juice, 3 tbsp of non-fat mayo then I cut about 2 celery chunky - I don't puree that because it doesn't seem right. I just chew chew chew the little chunks or avoid them. Salt and pepper to taste. I stuff it into a Tomato just to flatter myself! lol Plus at work since I didn't tell anyone it looks like I'm eating a lot more than what I really am!

Good luck! :rolleyes:

Hi you can find it in my response to Patty! Enjoy! I just made more yesterday and did not get any because my family eats before I do! Lol!

Today I made puréed broccoli, cauliflower, and low fat cheese! That was delicious too!

Periodically try foods like eggs again, because your tolerance may change over time. Mine has.

I prepare my Cod on a baking sheet with a pam spray to it first. Then I add some fresh lemon slices, salt, pepper and I bake it for about 15 to 20 minutes on 300 degrees. It is so yummy!!

I take a frozen piece of cod to work in a rubbermaid container. I pour a little line of olive oil down the middle of it and then sprinkle it with lemon pepper. By the time I have lunch the lemony part of the lemon pepper is melted into the oil. Its really good. I microwave it.

      I'm officially no longer "obese" and now classified as "overweight!" Years ago when I was 108 lbs (my old adult holding weight until the last 10 years) would I have ever thought there would come a day that I'd celebrate being "overweight!" 
      I hit my one year surgery anniversary next Wednesday (August 21st, 2023) and just so happen to have my final bariatric clinic check up on the same day. I'm looking forward to seeing my surgeon and being officially released into the wild! 😋
      I'm curious as to what my labs will say, especially since they told me to not take my vitamins a few days before the labs. To be honest, I find this confusing since the whole point of taking vitamins is to keep your stats within normal ranges - to assure they're working as intended, yet since I quit taking them it will show I need to take them..so I'll hear "make sure to take your vitamins!" A vicious circle. Who knows why?!
      Anyway, I have 40lbs to go to meet my goal and I'm really hoping I can do it in the next 6 months (for a total of 18 months post surgery). At my starting weight the charts show only 20% reach their goal within 18 months with a starting weight of 259 the day of surgery. I'd like to add that to achieved goals. Fingers crossed!
      I'm amazed and thankful for everyone here on these forums who've supported me, answered my questions and understood the plight! Thank you all, you know who you are.

      Good morning all, how long did it take insurance to approve you?

        Once it was submitted, not long at all. Just a few days, I think. But my surgeon's office didn't submit it until all my requirements were met, which included psych eval, dietician meetings, a certain number of visits, bloodwork, etc. As long as you've checked all the right "boxes" they require, the approval process should be very standard and easy. Your surgeon's office should know exactly what you need to get approved.

        good morning , I just need one more clearance from the insurance requirements which is my basic nutrition class , and that's on the 26th of this month. I have BCBSMI insurance. my surgeon said it usually takes 4-6 weeks for them to approve but can be sooner

      3. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Once I completed all the insurance/program requirements - about a week. It seemed fairly quick, but I also contacted my insurance company several times to confirm all the requirements I needed to satisfy there paperwork machine and also nudge (nag squeaky wheel) them 😋 ! Also, my bariatric clinic is/was on top of it.

      4. juliie

        @BlondePatriotInCDA thanks, I have BCBSM hopefully it doesn't take them long to approve me, i just need one more clearance from their requirements. wow a week ? that was fast ,have you had yours yet?

      5. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Yes, my one year anniversary is this Wednesday. It will go quickly, it may not seem like it now..but trust me it will. I have BCBS as well. Good luck, you can do this!

      Long whine alert - I'm really disappointed! I saw my primary Dr last month and told her I wanted WLS and she was all for it. Said that I had to do the 6 month supervised diet for my insurance and a boatload of other tests. Ok. I understand. She started my 6 month diet last month and sent a referral to the bariatric surgeon. MY plan was to do the supervised diet, then at the end of the 6 months in January, do all the other tests...sleep study, endoscopy, ekg, psych, nutritionist, etc. because all of that would get my insurance deductible met, then have surgery in February or March. Since my deductible would be met, I'd only be paying my 20% coinsurance by then. Got the call from the bariatric surgeon's office on Friday and was told that THEY are the ones that will do my 6 month supervised diet. I explained that my primary Dr already had me on it for a month but they said everything will go thru them. Ok. I understand. So I explain about wanting to complete the diet first, then do all the other testing (because I don't want to have to pay my deductible twice by paying for all that stuff now, & then it starts over in January) but she tells me that they do the testing while I'm doing the diet. That means that I cannot even start their bariatric program until January! They made my first appt for Jan 9th & that's when the 6 month diet will start with them & they'll submit to insurance for approval in June & I would have surgery in July. Man!!! That's almost a year from now! All because I don't want to pay $4500 now, than have to pay it again in January. I don't understand why they won't let me diet now & do the other tests at the end.

        Before you assume that the testing will take your full deductible, I would make some calls to your insurance. I have a 3k deductible and my portion of the bloodwork was nowhere close to that even though I assumed it would be. I think my copays ended up being around $1k or less for all the preliminary tests. And remember, you will have extensive bloodwork multiple times after surgery, so there may be no way to get it all into one calendar year. Also, you might look into financing options through your hospital. Mine allowed me to put the $3k I owed after the surgery (because yeah, that did max out my deductible for this year) on a 24-month no-interest payment plan. Depending on your options, it may be affordable enough that you can book your appointment sooner and get this whole thing going instead of having to wait almost a full year to have your surgery.
