Double check with your team, but in my plan only certain fish were named, tuna, salmon and certain white fish (simple), doesn't mean your plan doesn't include it.

I had a very tough time with salmon. I was able to eat flounder, tilapia and cod filet without issue.

Scallops! I have had good luck with scallops in the soft food stage. No breading or anything; just a quick broil And I could only eat 2 oz total that’s 2 large or 4 small scallops. Good luck

Seafood chowder would be another option. Unfortunately it’s too early to set sail for Cheddar Bay.

Shrimp is too fibrous, some baked fish in white sauce so it is moist, you will only be able to eat 2-3 oz at most, eat very slowly because our stomachs can be weird with new foods .

I could eat any seafood as long as I chewed it to purée. Salmon was more difficult because if it’s not cooked properly it is dry and your jaw will get tired before it’s chewed enough.
The key is:
Take small...tiny bites and chew it to death before you swallow.
Enjoy!

      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.
