No Gumbo But..

So I didn't quite have the energy to make gumbo but I did make a seafood based meal. I got with one of my buddies who is an offshore fisherman (and vendor to the restaurant in Monterey) and got some beautiful salmon fillets. So I made Maple Salmon with homemade hoisin sauce, pan-seared asparagus with lemon aioli and the famous chicken rice (but no rice for me). What do you all think?

Looks absolutely fabulous! Did you have any issues eating it??

Fish went down no problem. Veggies not as much.

Ever think about trying out for masterchef?? That looks amazing!

My sister has been trying to get me on one of those shows for years! Between the kids sports and my volunteer work I just don't have the time.

I moonlight for Scripps (Food Network) a bit when I travel but that's mostly writing reviews and making suggestions for shows.

How far out are you? I'm almost 4 mos out and unless my veggies are pretty mushy I have trouble eating them.

I'm only 3.5 weeks out.

My nutritionist said to avoid asparagus at first because it is very fibrous (as you have found), so I would advise you to wait a few more weeks and try it again.

I could eat asparagus at 6 weeks. Once the doctor clears your after soft foods.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
