I do that Shelly's ricotta bake (World According to Eggface), hummus, cottage cheese, Soup, I slowly suck on those little cheese triangles (laughing cow)- got all 3 kinds. I fancy up shakes with diff. flavors. I have a fiesta dip (the pre-made layers of stuff but only have a little on days when I get all my Protein in.

Oh, I also got chicken salad from Giant and put it in the bullet to puree- just as good as chunky. Hmmm, every kind of popsicle they make.

I'm going to try pureeing tuna and also refried Beans tomorrow (lol- not at the same time).

I am glad I found this post! I have been eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tried crab cake and did good with it. Tried egg salad today and didn't got too well. Creamy Soups (Broccoli, cheddar/chicken) Both pureed very well. Found Isopure at GNC. Liquid Protein drink, 40 g Protein, no sugar, no aspartame. Grape is good and fruit punch too. I am going to try refried Beans. Scrambled eggs yes. I have found that I am lactose intolerant. :-( Keep me posted if there is anything else. Oh and the Protein Shakes I mix with Water. chocolate and I have been close for 2 weeks now, lol. I have gone from 4 oz to 7 oz I can drink... Yeah me

What is shellys ricota bake? I hvnt got up the nerve to puree anything. Mash potatoes & either broth or gravy is good. I hv nauseated & my side hurting all day today. The nausea I thk is from the eggs. Is your side hurting where they took it out normal?

[Marty McSkinnystein 342]

I'm not allowed eggs yet- it's not on my pureed (in a week at soft I can do it).

I don't have any pain or discomfort. Sorry you're going through that but it sounds normal, meaning many people get that. I also haven't had nausea. The worst thing I have is the weirdness when I don't realize I'm full and it's like air or tightness in my throat...

Oh the ricotta bake. You must go to The World According to Eggface . It's a website by someone who had gastric bypass surgery and she has great recipes low carb and for every stage we go through and later. I have had the ricotta bake basically every day since I was allowed purees.

If you don't want to make it after looking at the recipe-and I'm not a cook so you'll probably be fine, you could take some ricotta cheese, put a little Tomato sauce and then a little mozzarella and microwave it--- DELICIOUS and allowed!

Pace yourself slowly and take any meds. prescribed is what I'd say. I have tons ready to go. I haven't had to take my nausea meds. but everything is waiting should I need. I do take the acid block every morning and haven't had heartburn I guess because of it.
