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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
