Hello all,

I had surgery on the 18th of the month and recovering beautifully. This Stage 2 diet is really starting to get old, but thankfully I go back to see the Surgeon and the nutritionist on Tuesday. After this visit, they should be advancing me onto Stage 2B. Geisinger's definition of Stage 2B is this: 1 Large Egg, 1/2 Cup Egg Substitute, Low Fat or Fat Free Ricotta cheese, and Low Fat or Fat Free Cottage Cheese. I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions as to different ways I can enjoy the eggs, the Ricotta Cheese, or the Cottage Cheese...I know I can't mix fruit into the Cheeses, but as far as the eggs, I know I can make a little egg spread (hard boiled eggs smashed up & mixed with a little light mayo, hint of salt, a bit of pepper, and a small scosche of Splenda for a sweet flavor). Any other things to try as far as Stages 1 & 2 are concerned?? I've had everything on the list of approved things and I'm getting bored.

Thanks & have a great day!!

Somewhere on here there's a recipe for ricotta bake, it's ricotta, eggs, seasoning, and spaghetti sauce. Baked until bubbly. It was my first 'real' food and it was delish!!

That sounds delicious!! Really looking forward to giving that a try. Thanks!!

Definitely take the time to bake it in the oven, you want it bubbly and getting crusty! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198
