Shelly's ricotta bake- OMG



Recommended Posts

My surgeon said I can't have ricotta during the pureed stage because it's too thick, unless I add a bunch of Water and blend it so it's runny. =/

I got GENEPRO from the Bariatric Pal Store, been blending into my cream Soups to give a dietary kick and up the Protein. So far so good. Only failure I had was the day I tried to put it in Bone Broth abdcended up with Genepro noodles instead.

Snap! Tonight I made it with a bottom layer of refried Beans then instead of Italian herbs I did cajun seasoning. I should have put salsa on top but all I had (being lazy and not making my own) was no sugar Dolmios Tomato Pasta Sauce with basil, which was a bit weird but I didn't care!
It was delish. I also mixed in some cottage cheese I wanted to get rid of and that worked fine too!

That’s a GREAT idea! I think I’m the only one that didn’t like the ricotta bake. But with these changes I think I will love it! I’m making this tomorrow. Thank you!! 👍

I say go for it, mix it up. So long as you can eat black olives on the stage you're on!

This sounds really good - and easy! I am headed to grocery tomorrow to grab few items to finish out my "mushy food" week. I read the nutrition facts on this - - really 960 calories?? That seems like a lot for one serving.



*Edit update** I found other nutritional information on this site - 88 calories, 3.3 carbs, 9.2 Protein, 4 fat - DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE SERVING SIZE IS?


1/2 cup servings it makes 4 servings

Is it possible someone could copy/paste/screenshot the ricotta bake recipe instructions here? When I try to visit the website, it says it isn't available in my country. :(

This does look sooo yummy! Here are screen shots of the ricotta bake. I also have an awesome stuffed pepper recipe. I actually pureed it and it still tasted delicious! Cut 4 sweet peppers in half. Put in casserole dish. Use a pound of ground beef, or ground chicken or ground Turkey. Brown that and add some garlic, some Italian seasonings and some red pepper flakes to it. Thaw out about 4 oz. Of spinach. Put 8 oz of ricotta cheese in bowl. Mix in half a cup of parmesan or what you want and mix in spinach. Add all to meat mixture. Mix everything together and add to peppers. Then I put on top a small can of Tomato sauce with a can of tomatoes with green chilis mixed together. Then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for like a half hour. Omg it was sooo delicious!!! SmartSelect_20190117-095530.jpeg SmartSelect_20190117-095552.jpeg

When off purees (I actually didn't even have a puree stage), you can add chopped cooked meatballs or browned ground meat and it's almost lasagna. I made a zucchini lasagna with zucchini (the only veg I'm currently allowed is zocchini/summer squash and canned green beans) in place of noodles and it was so good!! I don't measure the cheeses, etc, just eyeball. Shelly's recipe is the way my mom has always made the filling for lasagna, and I like hers better than Italian restaurants.

I make what is called 'lazy lasagna' using spinach in place of noodles. so good!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
