Singing With Raving Happiness for Shrimp!



Recommended Posts

I made the big haul on shrimp the other day. They were on sale and they were the big fat, juicy kind--already deveined and easy to shell. Score! So I splurged on a pound. I decided to grill all of them and skewered and cooked em up, mi-T-fine. F-I-N-E! And now I have them in a big ol' container waiting and ready for meals and set Snacks.

I also made a passel of fresh pico with avocado and lime. Holy guacamole crudo! So. Damn. Good.

I am eating it for elevensies as we speak and the world just doesn't get any better!!!

Oh hail mighty shrimp

Your charred smoky flesh delights

Get in mah belly.

I'm a weirdo -- I like the taste of shrimp, but I can't stand the texture!

In the Vietnamese and Asian groceries they have these shrimp crackers! ;) LOL you should check em out!

You can also process em raw into a paste and form them into patties like croquettes. It will help deal with the texture.

I adore the lobster-like texture. Wish I could afford lobster, but not gon' happen. LOL.

Try Monkfish not as expensive and very similar in taste and texture to lobster

I would but the Houston market doesn't carry monk fish. When we do it's about $23/lb. Isn't that so stupid? I love it though!

      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.
