Just had my gastric bypass on 4/18/14.  I have lost 19 lbs so far.   Things are going well.  Walking just a 1/2 mile a day till post op appointment to get clearance to walk farther and start my power walks again.   My foods are pretty bland right now.  Sunday begins week 4 and I can add flaky broiled/grilled fish, soft cooked veggies, fruits w/o skin.  My biggest concern is I'm not a fish eater.  Any good recipes for haddock out there?

If you don't like fish, you certainly don't have to eat it.  I'm a vegetarian so I certainly didn't eat any fish.  There are plenty of other sources of protein.

Very true I don't have to eat the fish.  However, foods taste different after this procedure and I'm willing to try it again.  Therefore looking for any recipes out there.

Welcome to the forums, and congrats on your weight loss so far! Haddock is a great fish, but I haven't seen it since moving to Texas 24 years ago, sadly. We don't even get it here in St. Louis apparently. But I don't see why you couldn't treat it like any other firm-fleshed, mild white fish. Look for recipes for tilapia, halibut, even cod.

My favorite way to prepare fish these days is baked. It's super easy and so tasty. Get a couple of fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each. Combine 1/4-1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley, 1/4 cup lemon zest, salt and pepper and 2-3 tbsps melted butter. Spread the mixture evenly over the fillets and bake in a 350 degree oven on a sprayed cookie sheet (use foil for easy cleanup) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until done. Serve with a squeeze of lemon or make a tartar sauce with Greek yogurt, sweet relish, chopped capers and dill.

You're very welcome! I understand the no support group hassle, and I use this forum as my support group as well.

If you'd like ideas for things to eat, check out the daily "What's on the Menu RNYers?" thread in this forum. People post their day's menus and we talk about recipes and food, exercise, and daily activities. It's a great place to get some food inspiration and support.
