Fish on soft food died?



Recommended Posts

I had salmon last night and it was heavenly. Research shows me it's a great source of Protein and low in calories. Yay!

What other fish do y'all enjoy? Also, are fish like shrimp and crab included on soft foods or is it more like the fillets?

Shrimp was one of my "go to" foods early out. It was soft and easy to chew, and sat really well for me. I also would by crab cakes and eat them. So good!

Swai, talapia, salmon, tuna, shrimp... fish was one Protein source that never gave me a single issue, so I eat it 2-3 times a week still!

Lots of baked fish using spices and citrus, learned how to make homemade tartar sauce so I could control the fat and sugar content, make a mean pico to go as a topper or mixed into cold shrimp. Love it!

I love Tilipia. Sometimes I do it Blackened, but usually just sprinkle with some Lemon & Herb seasoning. It was one of my first meals on soft foods, and I still find it tasty and easy on the stomach.

So far Tuna hasn't worked for me. ???? 2 bites- than the burning pain in my chest and back up it comes... The last few things I have tried while advancing my diet have not worked-- even Beans from Taco Bell (I can tolerate refried Beans at home no issues) I am afraid to try moving on anymore-- I am going to wait a few more days and try another fish perhaps? Tilapia?

I will be three weeks on Tuesday- 10/20

I don't want to be stuck With eggs and beans forever! ????????

I am in the exact same position except once I was able to eat tuna, and then tried again and it was awful. I can eat Beans (even from Taco Bell) but although I was so excited to try the fish, I'm tired of it now. :( I'm ready for real food.

@@TMG1980TMG - I haven't tried tuna yet because it always gave me indigestion before surgery. I will wait a little longer. Have you tried Tysons cooked chicken in the small 3 Oz cans or packets? It is moist and goes down well for me. I also enjoyed corned beef in the can. It looks like dog food, but I enjoyed it as well. Hope you find something you can enjoy soon.

Taco Bell uses lard in their refried Beans, or at least use to. Pork may be too harsh on your pouch right now as it is a food that is hard to digest for some ... Like me.

I have eaten scallops and cod, while on my soft food diet. I am actually going out to eat for Easter and I plan on ordering tuna tartare and branzino with cauliflower.

There are some recipes out there for fresh fish packets too. Although those do look convenient to have on hand.

      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.
