ok, so..this is all eyeballing..here we go: ingredients 1-2 tsp butter/margarine (optional) 1 Lemon (about 2-3 slices) 2TBSP EVOO 1 clove garlic (sliced) 1/2 cup water 2, 3 Orange Roughy fillets (or 4 max) take the olive oil and put it in a skillet (about 10"), put the temp on low-med, add the 2-3 lemon slices, garlic, and the water. Let it warm a bit. Add the fillets ontop of all that, and cover. Slowly simmer on low until the fish starts to flake (about 5-7 minutes) no flipping necessarry. The butter/margarine is an option, I usualy dont use it with evoo but my 12 year old daughter loves the way it tastes. You can squeeze lemon over fish if you need to afterwards. please! Don't kill the meal by adding that fake lemon stuff!! use real lemon!! :thumbup: Let me know how it works out!

WOW..I CAN'T EVEN DRINK A GLASS A DAY..I WISH I COULD DO 10. IVE FOUND CRYSTAL LITE IS MY FRIEND HAHA.. I AM GREEK, WE HAVE AWESOME WAYS OF COOKING FISH..FOR THE MOST PART ITS BAKED AND/OR BROILED..IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF FISH TO GET AND HOW TO COOK IT..I BET THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE FISH YOU MAY BE GETTING IS 1) BREADED (GUESSING) AND 2) FISHY-SMELLING. LET ME KNOW i START PREOP DIET ON 9/23, DAY AFTER MY CLASS..I FEEL THE SAME WAY, BEEN PIGGING OUT TOTALLY..LOL..MAYBE THOUGH FOR ME ITS CUZ IM NERVOUS. TAKE CARE

I saw a forum under recipies.. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/mushies-stage-recipes-17637/

I can't explain what it's like to go through this with no support. My 12 soon-to-b 13 year old is worried i'll get skinnier than her..(odd), she (i've mentioned before) is upset i'm doing it a day after her bday (worked around work schedule). The b/f is against surgeries period doesn't think i've tried everything..now i'm second guessing..i know this is what i want. I know my b/f was attracted to me the way i am. Do i risk losing him when i get skinny? Well then he never truly loved me. This will be the real test. I don't have anyone else...it's hard when you dont have support. What do you do?

yay!!! good luck to you and hope you get what you want out of it
