I am 3 weeks post op. What and how much were you eating at 3 weeks. Also, I've lost 12lbs since surgery, a total of 34 since the 4 week pre op diet. What did you loose by 3 weeks?

I was still on full liquids for week 3, and really tired of them! Are you still on full liquids, or are you on purees?

I am on puréed foods. I eat Greek yogurt and refried beans.

Week 2 - purees

weeks 3,4 - soft

week 4 1/2 started regular food as tolerated

Same here on week 3 puréed and eating protein shakes, refried beans, Greek yogurt, want to try that ricotTa bake from world according to egg face

I tried that ricotta bake before surgery and loved it! Reminded me of lasagna and that was one of my favs. My kids even enjoyed it

I was on full liquids then. And I had no idea how much I had lost as I stayed off the scale entirely until 4 weeks out.

I think I need to get rid of my scale. I have stepped on it every morning since coming home from the hospital and I'm driving myself crazy

Ugh, I'm doing the same thing! Sometimes even weighing myself in the morning and before bed...I need to stop! I gained 0.4 pounds from yesterday and am so upset with myself! I try to keep reminding myself that the sleeve is letting me do better than I ever have before.

I am 1 week post op and starting to venture into puree stage for week two. I am so sick of sweet, I can't hardly tolerate the smell of anything sweet so I've done blended cottage cheese, blended lentil Soup and after having no food at all (liquids) for the last 3 weeks it tasted like heaven lol. I am only eating around 2-3 oz at a time and taking bites about 1/8 of a teaspoon at a time so I am tolerating it well. I found the lentil soup in the organic section of the grocery store an it is wonderful.

What is Ricotta bake? And where can I find the recipe for it?

Pinterest has some great recipes including the ricotta bake. I love cheese and lasagna etc, that's what it put me in mind of, lasagna without the noodles ????
