Hey all, I just started week 4 and I am so through with purees. If i have to eat something like that again I hope im 90 years old. With that being said I am looking for ideas of soft stuff to eat that will be easy on the sleeve.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Roasted Zucchini with lite Ranch...

I keep wondering the same thing. I read some can only eat 1/5 of a cup of something where I can easily eat 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes! I have also tolerated everything I put on my mouth! I'm beginning to wonder if I was really sleeved <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I was advised we can fit more food in our sleeve because our stomach is not swollen anymore and as time passes we can now eat more.

I just baked some tilapia for my whole family..it only needed a bit of seasoning, you can even put lemon slices on while baking..its quick and easy. I made some steamed zucchini slices with it and rice for the hubby and son. I could only fit maybe half a filet and two zucchini slices minus the skin, but it was nice to have something that I could eat with my family.

Just posted this to another thread. It has ricotta but mixed with spinach it's not really noticeable. You could also use cottage cheese instead of ricotta.

Sauté fresh spinach in vegetable or chicken broth (I also threw in some garlic and shallot), when done add nonfat ricotta and a bit of Parmesan cheese and blend/purée with an immersion blender.

Spread puréed mixture in bottom of a small casserole pan and cover with prepared spaghetti sauce (no sugar added) and top with a little more Parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly. Good for the puréed or mushy stage. I also sometimes add in a small bit of prepared pesto to kick up the flavor a bit.

Is a nice relief after all the sweet Protein shakes. My hubby says we'll use this recipe even after I back on regular food!

tried this...soooo good! my hubby and son had it on top of spaghetti.
