3 Weeks post-op GB

[Lillytan 14]

Hello all I'm so excited to be here. Had my GB on Aug 6th and am just now transitioning to pureed foods. I am wondering about ideas for tuna during this stage. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried the Ricotta bake receipe and that was really good but it makes a ton when all you can eat is a bite or two lol.

Try the Star Kist or Bumble Bee flavored tuna packets. They are my go to lunch when I am home and in the office.

I keep seeing Ricotta bake mentioned often in posts but haven't been able to find the actual recipe. Can you help?

Using the mobile app so links are a little weird. It's under the main forums. Look for recipes then puree. You'll see a topic heading

1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


DIRECTIONS

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.
