I eat the fish steaks that are canned like sardines in soybean oil, and I haven't had any problem. But then I rinse them, just a little bit, under water before I eat them. As far as the calcium, I was in my local pharmacie and I noticed that they have started carrying quite a number of vit/minerals in liquid form, but they are quite expensive as compared to pill form. 15 servings for about $10, but in the early stages of being a post op, it might just be worth it. The other problem is the sugar content, be careful.
