I read a lot on hear about how people at any stage of the their WLS, pre op, post op, new starters, veterans, that the food can get boring.

So I thought it might be nice to share some WLS appropriate recipes on here.

Let's get started.

I have one recipe that i'm obsessed with. It is the staple of my diet I am near goal now so I've added a little more natural sugars and fats to my diet but you could cut the papaya and avocado in half if you wanted.

ABOUT….

2 pounds of raw deveined shrimp

Cup of Lime juice

¼ lemon juice

2 mango’s ripe but still fairly firm

2 avocados

½ cup Sam’s club Italian Rose Fresh Salsa with cilantro

A handful of cilantro

½ small purple onion finely chopped

Cut everything in to small bite size pieces.

Start with the raw shrimp, add the lime and lemon juice over it until it is completely covered. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Let it marinade overnight. (I just continue to add ingredients until they are well coated in the lime juice but it isn’t a Soup.)

I don’t, but you could drain any excess juice in the morning so that it isn’t quite as tangy if you wanted.

The lime juice cures the shrimp so it is “cooked”.

Sounds delicious, but what is it called?...shall we call Florida Girls Sunshine Shrimp?

Sounds delish I love shrimp . I cook skinless chicken use dejhon mustard and roasted garlic bake until done .

It is kind of a Ceviche. I made this recipe up, but there are a ton of variations, most of them use quite a bit more raw sea food. I love mine with just shrimp though... It is very fresh and tangy .

There is a whole forum for this kind of thing. You will find heaps of great info there. It is in the middle of being reorganized, so make sure you use the search function as well as browsing. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1048-food-and-nutrition/
