great salmon dinner



Recommended Posts

Here is something some may consider trying.

Fresh salmon seared in a pan with olive oil. Add whatever herbs you desire. I like greek seasoning.

Then some steamed snap peas (green beans) on the side.

and then a mango/ornage salsa which consist of 1 chopped mango, 1 medium chopped orange, 1 small chopped onion, and a little cilantro. Place this salsa on top of the salmon. It is yummy. You might think the onions and cilantro would bitter the taste but it really doesn't. The salmon brings out all of the individual flavors.

I love to cook. But I love to eat too. So no more homemade Lasgana or marinara sauce for a while. I am having to explore other options and this is one that I used to make a lot.

however here is a fatfree marinara sauce I have used before.

Lazier Marinara

Sautee 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, in a few splashes of red wine.

While that's underway, chop up as much garlic as you like -- for me,

that's a lot, maybe 8 cloves -- and throw it in with the onion. Start

dumping in the spices: about 2 tablespoons basil, 2 tablespoons oregano,

1 tablespoon rosemary and 1 tablespoon thyme. This is all according to

your taste, and based on the idea that you're using dried spices. If you

have fresh, take it easy. More or

less is fine. Oh yeah, some freshly ground black pepper would be good.

If it gets dry in the pot, just splash in some more wine, or some dry

veggie broth mix and a little Water.

When the onion's pretty soft, add 4 28-oz cans of Progresso (my favorite,

but you may have another) CRUSHED tomatoes with added puree.

If you're really feeling ambitious, cut up a few fresh tomatoes (it helps

to pull out the seedy parts, I think) and put those in the pot.

There you go. Add wine, Water or veggie broth to taste, seasonings to

taste. I add in about 1 tablespoon of sugar.

This makes a huge quantity of completely FF marinara sauce, for a

fraction of the price of bottled.

      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.
