Lucky 7's RECIPES Thread



Recommended Posts

Tonight I ate cod fillets and I knew I had to make them very moist as I am still in soft and mushy so this is what I did.

3-4 cod fillets - seasoned how you like them - I used cajun seasoning, celery salt, pepper, and whatever else I felt like.

1 can of diced tomatoes

baked in 330 oven till flaky and opaque

sprinkled with shredded mozzerella and broiled till brown.

My husband says it is one of the best fish dishes he has had in a long time. Very juicy, moist and delicious. I served it with rice and had all my sides for a full meal.

Chew well and enjoy!

Here is a family favorite of mine. You can omit the oil and just saute the onions in some Water until translucent. Also, any of the milks used are wonderful. You can even use evaporated skim milk.

Tomato Bisque


  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 onions-chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 15-oz. can whole tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable stock, chicken stock is also excellent, and more traditional)
  • 1/4 cup uncooked rice
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 Tablespoons chopped basil (or 1 tsp pesto
  • 1/4 tsp dried tyme
  • 2 cups half and half (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 cup heavy cream) or (2 cups milk)
  • several dashes of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce

Garnish: thinly sliced basil leaves or minced parsley

Melt butter in a large saucepan and stir in the onions and garlic. Sauté until soft and golden over medium-low heat. Pour in the entire can of tomatoes, stock, rice, salt, pepper, basil, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes.

Puree the Soup in a blender, solids first, then pour back into the saucepan. Stir in the half-and-half, splash in the hot pepper sauce, and taste for seasoning. Heat the soup just to a boil, and then ladle into bowls. Garnish with sliced basil leaves or minced parsley.

Does anyone still experience pain where their port incision is or where their port is attached to their stomach? I am still having pain at times and am wondering if anyone else is. It doesn't last long but it hits a few times a day. Please let me know. Thanks. My surgery date was 7/20.

I was banded the 23 and once in a great while I do have a little twinge of pain - nothing serious but mine is mostly at my waist where there is no incision - not sure of that reason at all but there feels like a pulled stitch there at times. My port site really doesn't hurt unless I bump it. Seems to be about the height of my kitchen sink. :lol:

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
