Ryan Witner 0 Posted July 20, 2022 Hey guys im a little more than three weeks post-op VSG and my 2-4 week post-op diet plan soft foods, including different types of fish (salmon trout, halibut, flounder etc.). But they never specified whether mahi mahi was ok to have so im just curious if anybody has advice as to whether it's flaky enough or too tough to to have at this point. And if so fill me in on some delicious recipes never knew fish tasted so good until now! So mahi mahi is new to meSent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristieshannon 1,668 Posted July 21, 2022 Mahi Mahi is a pretty firm fish. You may be able to tolerate a small amount depending on how cooked. Poaching will keep it softer than grilling, and you could add a small amount of a sauce to help soften it up. Just go slow with very small bites to see if you tolerate it. 1 Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kcuster83 1,504 Posted July 21, 2022 I love mahi mahi, it is pretty much the only fish I eat. However, I cannot remember when I started eating it again post op. I believe it was when I transitioned back into the normal diet phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveaboard15 1,293 Posted July 21, 2022 at around 1 month post op i was eating tons of fish. Sockey Salmon, King Salmon, Halibut, Mahi Mahi, Snapper, shrimp, crab legs and smoked fish. No issues at all. I just took small bites and chewed well. 1 kcuster83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
