    I just came across this recipe on Pinterest (Love that site) That I thought I'd share. It seemed like a good, easy, Sleeve friendly recipe!
    Ingredients:
    2 cups fresh chopped broccoli
    1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1 egg
    2 egg whites
    1 tbsp dijon mustard
    Diretions:
    1. Preheat oven to 360°. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.
    2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Spread mixed ingredients into the baking dish.
    3. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy for Breakfast or as a side dish for brunch!
    * This is a fairly healthy dish, but for an even skinnier version, skip the cheddar cheese and add other veggies, such as onions, tomatoes, or mushrooms.

    Mix all above ingredients in a large bowl. Transfer to a baking pan and bake on high in oven @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done....yummy and good way to get veg during the firm Protein stage ......serve with a side of lentils and it's Protein packed! Heck add some lentils into it for extra texture.....(after they have been cooked of course)

    comfortably numb got a reaction from BunnyFoodRocks in Question For My Fellow Revisionistas!   
    Hello all,
    I'm a former 10 year crap band guy. I had my revision done this June 1st and have been doing great. I have transitioned flawlessly from clears to Full liquids to mushy and now just starting on solids.
    As I went through these phases I never really felt any restriction or difficulties. I was able to drink 8 ounces of clears at a time. When full liquids came I could drink 8-10 ounces of Protein shakes in 15-20 mins. Now the issue I'm having is with solid foods it seems like I can eat almost anything. Now I've have not cheated at all and have kept to my diet. I'll eat 2-3 ounces of chicken or tuna with another 2-3 ounces of veggies and it cottage cheese etc. I've never felt stuffed like I can't eat anymore and what worries me is that about 10-15 minutes after eating I feel hungrier than before I started eating.
    I called my surgeon and he reassured me that my pouch was small and that what I may be going through is because since I had the band in place for so many years, even though it's been removed I still have that area dilated and it causes sort of a funnel effect. Basically, my food makes a pit stop on its way to my new stomach.
    My question is has anyone out there heard of anything like this or have experienced the same issues? I would love to hear any feedback and thank you in advance!

    I got sleeved on June 7 by Dr. Kelly. I'm an MD. I think that qualifies my opinion.
    If he had a drug problem, he got over it. That, in my opinion, is a tremedous achievement. I can assure you that he is not using drugs now.
    I had the opportunity meet his daughter and talked extensively with his wife Cecy and his coordinator, Omar. I also spoke with him on several occasions, of course.
    The hospital he was using wanted an exclusive on his surgical cases, which in turn would increase the cost of surgeries. We had our fluroscopy (leak test) at that hospital. I did not pick up that he was persona non grata at all. I was very pleased with the hospital he is using now.
    Coordinators! Give me a break! Loosing a $2000 comission per case would motivate them to bend the truth to their favor. Don't you think?
    Yes, there was a death. That is a surgical risk. I knew about it before being operated on, and I still chose Dr Ramos Kelly.< /p>
    To this day, I continue to recomend Dr. Ramos Kelly to members of this forum, and to my patients.
    I hope this helps to clear up the slanderous comments about this Team.

    Dr Kelly told my wife and I that he didn't want to work with the Coordinators anymore. He decided to go on his own and hire Omar to work exclusively for him. Smart move in my opinion.
