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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
