I'm going to try this! The viscosity is just...eww. Like it reminds me of the slime I used to have my students make when I taught science class.

I keep saying I am, but haven't. I figured, it really can't make it worse though.

I will eventually, or if you do let me know what you think.

I’m on work leave and I am bored too 🤣 today I moved into the mushy stage. My diet expanded to being able to have: fat free refried Beans, low fat ricotta or cottage cheese, and eggs 🍳 I had 2tbs of Beans for Breakfast and it was way better than it should have been 🤣 I was so tired of yogurt. Days 3-6 my options were yogurt, hot Cereal. I hate hot Cereal. So I ate yogurt and was over it. Moving on up!

I am guessing you are on purées. Did anyone tell you about the ricotta bake?

I tried a bite of a friends Tilapia and didn't care for it still. It wasn't as "fishy" as I remember but the texture was too watery for me.

I mostly want to like salmon for the health benefits. I think I’m going to give that one a try again.

No, I am on a normal diet now.

I did try the ricotta bake during pureed, it was too dry for me. I wanted to love it because I love ricotta but I just couldn't get into it.

I do like Salmon cakes, I bake them instead of fry and they are yummy and low fat. I haven't tried actual Salmon yet, but before surgery it was a smidge too fishy for me.

I can’t have the sauce until week 8 🙄 the dietician won’t approve Alfredo substitute either. So I wait. It’s literally saved in my phone for when I can have it 👌

Ooh man I loved it. I practically lived on it during the purée phase.

Hummm. Never heard of that. I don’t recall how many weeks I was when I was on purées though. Could’ve been around the same time frame.

I’ve never had salmon cakes. I like crab cakes though. I will have to find a recipe and try those.

She says it’s too acidic for a healing stomach until then. I’m not thrilled about her ruling but I don’t want to mess anything up 🫣

Someone else mentioned I may have cooked it too long and dried it out.

This is the one I used. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/240130/scrumptious-salmon-cakes/

I baked them though, at 400* for about 10 min each side.

I was allowed to have sauce too, my nutritionist just said try a little first and make sure I handle ok. I also had Tomato Soup on liquids with no issues.

Thanks. Those look good.
