Have you tried the ricotta bake? My favorite seems to be cottage cheese with a tiny bit of applesauce. Or Beans with a tiny bit of sour cream. Avocado with a tad of lemon? I love egg whites and cheese.< /p>

Ninja works great. Thank goodness I was able to save the money and use my baby brezza! I love it! It steams and blends on its own.

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 :(

Wow! That's pretty strict (which I prefer) I know so many of us could eat Beans and chili in the puréed stage. What's his diet plan like? I think I could use some more boundaries ;)

So Ricotta Bake, It is very good and it taste like lasagna.

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. Boom!

Really! :o My new tummy can't handle anything substancial! Everything stays down, and for that I'm very grateful. Still, everything feels like swallowed a rock. And that's a good meal when the food doesn't make me downright nauseous. The only thing that's working is warm thin liquids that don't have Protein. But that can't sustain me for much longer. I have my first post op visit with my surgeon this wednesday so hopefully we can come up with a solution. I'd rather sacrifice speed of weight loss at this time than worry about not being able to care for my children properly. They're home all day now and I made them take a nap today just so I could!!! LOL B)

I keep thinking I can't wait till I got this down... but I suspect that'll happen right before I'm approved for solids and I'll have to readjust yet again! :lol:

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
