Fish works really well for me, and I can eat shrimp also.

Wow Sara, I'm glad you can eat shrimp. That's another food I've read that people have trouble eating. I love all kinds of seafood. I would love to have shrimp dishes. What is crab shumai?

Shumai is basically minced crab or shrimp wrapped in a thin dumpling skin and steamed or fried. Most Sushi places have it as an appetizer on their menu's, And Ann said that trader Joe's carry's it in the frozen section. It's very light, and it's good to dip in dumpling or soy sauce.

Steamed shrimp is actually going down smoother then chicken. I PB when I eat chicken, and for someone that was never really a fish eater, thats what I've been living on.

I attempted chicken the other day, wasn't happening, so I've been living on Shrimp dishes and crab shumai- basically my chinese food place now knows my name, and I've been getting everything steamed with the sauce on the side. I am dying for a salad though. I don't think I'm getting enough Protein though.

If you like tuna, I have discovered something...where the tuna is in the grocery store there are now 3oz packages that you can just rip the top off of (as opposed to being in a can). This 3oz packet of tuna has 20g of protein!!!! I have make tuna salad with it. (My favorite is Albacore White Tuna...it almost tastes like chicken salad..not as fishy)...It is the perfect serving size..and lots of Protein for the amount. Not too difficult to eat, since it breaks up pretty small...and it is really lean.

Thank you Leeann, Unfortunatly, I'm not a "fish" person. Basically I'll only eat crab, lobster & shrimp and beer battered halibut- but only when I'm in AK. I haven't eaten tuna since I was like 5! So this is new territory for me. I've only been eating the shrimp & crab lately because it's soft enough, to not PB, and Chicken won't stay down.

      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.
