I hate fish..need suggestions



Recommended Posts

I just had my nutrition class and I am scared. It seems that my only choice will be chicken or fish. I hate fish. I don't like anything that swims. Will one day I get to eat red meat and pork.

Is there anyone else out there that doesn't like fish. What did you do?

Hi~ A really good fish to try is boneless salmon and a really easy way to fix it is to put it on the grill on a piece of foil and sprinkly LOTS of Old Bay Seasoning! Season it all, put the skin side up and then flip it over when it has grill marks underneath. Sprinkle with more Old Bay and grill the second side! tuna and swordfish and shrimp are also good this way! Honest! If you don't like that, there's always Hollandaise sauce, or a creole sauce (tomatoes, peppers, spices). Hope this helps!

Hi:

eggs are a good source of Protein too. How about chopped up light ham? I've even eaten the canned chicken that is the same consistency as canned tuna that I make into chicken salad. Sometimes I eat a couple of low fat sausages too.

You'll be able to eat red meat after you are on full solids again. However, you'll have to chew it so long that it may not be as appealing to you. I still have a pork chop every once in a while. One pork chop is good for two meals for me. :biggrin:

If you are motivated you'll come up with things that will work for you.

If you don't like fish don't eat it! You will be suprised how your tasts change. I eat alot of chicken, turkey, lite hot dogs, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, veggie burgers. I have had pork roast cooked in the crock pot it gets very tender that way. There are plenty options. I do like sea food but not "fishy" sea food. I eat tilapia, shrimp, and crab.

      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.
