March 2, 201313 yr I had Greek yogurt, cream of wheat made with milk, cottage cheese, really mushy egg salad, refried beans, and egg face's ricotta bake. Just take it slow, tiny bites!
March 2, 201313 yr I had mashed sweet potato, baked ricotta, cream of wheat, a little watery oatmeal, protein shakes, soups that had chunks that I put in the blender. I am on soft foods for 3 more weeks (just about done with week 1 of soft foods). Today I had egg beaters and didn't have any issues.
March 2, 201313 yr I made homemade stews and chili's. I also had the yogurts, tuna and canned chicken with some low fat cream cheese or mayo (heated). My fav was meatloaf and gravy !!!
March 2, 201313 yr Meatballs with marinara and meatloaf with gravy were favs! However I made homemade chili and stew that were tasty also
March 2, 201313 yr what is a ricotta bake or what did you do with it? That sounds amazing!!!! Shelly's Baked Ricotta 8 oz of Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan 1 large Egg, beaten 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning salt & pepper to taste 1/2 cup Marinara Sauce 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan, beaten egg, seasonings together and place in a oven proof dish. Pour marinara on top and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake it in the oven @ 450 for about 20-25 minutes (best) or nuke it till hot and bubbly.

March 3, 201313 yr Author May I suggest making this in muffin tins!! Perfect meal size!! This may sound like an absolutely stupid question but is is considered puréed after its cooked or do you purée it?
March 3, 201313 yr This may sound like an absolutely stupid question but is is considered puréed after its cooked or do you purée it? Honestly ricotta is so soft you will bet its a mush out of the pan. If very worried you can purée it but I don't think it's necessary!!
March 3, 201313 yr I also made homemade stew and chili. I did canned chicken or tuna with greek yogurt. I ate blended up soups, hummus, yogurt, ricotta cheese.
March 3, 201313 yr Isn't this real fattening??? Did you still loose after eating that?? I've lost every time. I only have 1.5 oz and I'm doing high Protein and full fats with close to zero carbs and sugar. That's what works for me
Okay so tomorrow I start eating purée foods!
I would like some ideas of what you ate that week! recipes?!
Suggestions please!
