I went home on friday to be on mushies and the only thing i have wanted eat is seafood and it is the only thing i am eating. Anyone else have this ? Anyone know why, am i craving omega 3s? or total coincidence?

 i think total coincidence, eat whatever sounds good. Everybody is different. 
YMMV

 I craved (and still crave) seafood.   Lobster, crab, mussels, clams, shrimp.....Since my DS, I have very strong and very definite cravings for things.   I've always been a seafood lover, but not so much freshwater fish.   Now?  OMG  - I want it all the time.    As I was discussing with Ms. Batt recently, I also, for some odd reason, frequently crave coleslaw!

I'm not sure if seafood would quite fall into the mushies category, does tuna salad?  I'd say if you're allowed to eat that, then perhaps some crab salad would fit the bill quite nicely.

I craved seafood right after surgery as well!  When I was able to move to mushies, I found that tuna and shrimp were a little dense for me, but a nice flakey catfish or tilapia doused in mayo was perfect.

Not sure if it's the iodine, the oils or whatever; but I am NOT a seafood person at all pre-DS LOL.

Pick your surgery first, then your surgeon. Not the other way around.

I'm tired of screwing with that damn health widget.

I always love seafood, pre-op & post op and especially sushi and I was eating it at 3 weeks out without a problem . . even with the rice and I didn't react . .
