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!

      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.
