My Woo Hoo
Terrific progress John!
I am finding that a lot of my old favorite recipes are actually pretty WLS friendly - with minor changes. Tonight I made pepper steak.
And I agree that there is a real tendency to get into food ruts. The boards help with that a lot! I love it when someone posts a recipe that they can vouch for!

That's awesome!!!
Trying new recipies is a FANTASTIC idea. It sounds emotionally hard for you to cook without your daughter. I'm glad your friend loves to cook and can do so for you. But - if you wanted to "reconnect" with your daughter with cooking - do you converse w/ her via email or any other means? Maybe you could each pick out a recipie you would have liked to make together, decide on what night you will make it - and then make it "together but separately" at your different houses and be able to compare notes later? Sounds silly but just an off the cuff idea!
Anyway - for seafood - I like shrimp. I buy them frozen, already deveined and shelled (I prefer the tails still on) I put a tiny amount (like less than a teaspoon) of olive oil in a nonstick pan, put in some minced garlic, sautee for just a minute or so, add the shrimp, and coo****il just cooked through (don't overcook they get tough. Just until they turn pink and curl up) I finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sometimes if I feel REALLY fancy throw on a handful of chopped parsley.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Way to go John! Not just on losing the weight, but for getting your lady friend to cook for you. I'm jealous. As far as recipes, there is a lot of good ideas that come across these pages. I print everyone out and save it, even if it doesn't appeal to me at the time. The World According to Eggface is a blog with a lot of recipes on it too. I'm sure there are many others too that are WLS friendly.
Good luck!
