Thank you so much! Ricotta bake is right up my alley! My office has us on liquids for 21 days post op. I get to move onto mush on July 10th. After a week of cottage cheese, ricotta, egg and super squishy veggies (no beans/corn/potatoes/etc)- 1 tables spoon 6 times a day and I am supposed to keep supplementing with shakes and fluids- then I get to introduce chicken and fish/crab only and still mushy veggies. (1 oz only) No red meat till I think almost the 3 month mark. No carbs till I hit goal... which means no hummus. Super sad face! But I am down 56 total since I started pre op in January and 14 since surgery on the 19th. Hopefully I will plod along steadily till goal.

What a great recipe, thanks! susie, could you point me in the direction of the Cauliflower Crust Pizza?

My Doctor originally told me 14 days after surgery fine... but then his entire staff said no submerging for a month. I am waiting the month can not wait to get back in the pool!!

I think it is less! I haven't had a c section BUT was with many friends who did and they couldn't walk for a few days. I literally stood up after surgery and walked myself to the bathroom right after I woke up. pain killers at home for only 2 days before bed and I only used them twice in the hospital before bed. i'm glad your mom is doing ok

Oh no! poor thing! How is she doing now? You will be ok! When they did mine they found a cyst on my fallopian tube and had to call in a gyno consult while I was under but everything turned out to be ok. I felt really good after surgery, it was like blinking and it was over. my only bummer is I still can't really bend or lift anything but I am walking about totally fine. you will do great! Definitely bring your won shakes, you don't want to mess around with flavors when you are all layin' in that bed.

Hi! I'm good. it's been very little drama. I have found that if I shift all my protein shake intake to the AM it helps with that weird bloating/over full feeling. if I drink them too late in the day i feel icky. Are you excited Jessica? Did they tell you to bring your own shakes to the hospital. I was so glad I did, the hospital shakes are NASTY

how far out are you Jessica anne? I was just sleeved on the 19th

my office is the same, no carbs till goal weight. no fruit, no rice, no bread, no pasta... not even beans or potatoes. the puree stage will be interesting.

That sounds excellent! I can't wait to try it when I'm off post op liquids!

hey there germantown! i'm just down the pike who's your doctor?

Baby Brezza sounds awesome! Tell me more about this ricotta bake you speak of! No applesauce for me, my doctor won't allow fruits until goal weight... or beans

Great link! Thanks! I love veggies but was wondering how I was oing to prepare them in that stage. yay for the food ninja!

MD here. Just had surgery on the 19th in Rockville, would love to have a "sleeve buddy"
