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:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
