I do that Shelly's ricotta bake (World According to Eggface), hummus, cottage cheese, Soup, I slowly suck on those little cheese triangles (laughing cow)- got all 3 kinds. I fancy up shakes with diff. flavors. I have a fiesta dip (the pre-made layers of stuff but only have a little on days when I get all my Protein in.

Oh, I also got chicken salad from Giant and put it in the bullet to puree- just as good as chunky. Hmmm, every kind of popsicle they make.

I'm going to try pureeing tuna and also refried Beans tomorrow (lol- not at the same time).

I am glad I found this post! I have been eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tried crab cake and did good with it. Tried egg salad today and didn't got too well. Creamy Soups (Broccoli, cheddar/chicken) Both pureed very well. Found Isopure at GNC. Liquid Protein drink, 40 g Protein, no sugar, no aspartame. Grape is good and fruit punch too. I am going to try refried Beans. Scrambled eggs yes. I have found that I am lactose intolerant. :-( Keep me posted if there is anything else. Oh and the Protein Shakes I mix with Water. chocolate and I have been close for 2 weeks now, lol. I have gone from 4 oz to 7 oz I can drink... Yeah me

What is shellys ricota bake? I hvnt got up the nerve to puree anything. Mash potatoes & either broth or gravy is good. I hv nauseated & my side hurting all day today. The nausea I thk is from the eggs. Is your side hurting where they took it out normal?

I'm not allowed eggs yet- it's not on my pureed (in a week at soft I can do it).

I don't have any pain or discomfort. Sorry you're going through that but it sounds normal, meaning many people get that. I also haven't had nausea. The worst thing I have is the weirdness when I don't realize I'm full and it's like air or tightness in my throat...

Oh the ricotta bake. You must go to The World According to Eggface . It's a website by someone who had gastric bypass surgery and she has great recipes low carb and for every stage we go through and later. I have had the ricotta bake basically every day since I was allowed purees.

If you don't want to make it after looking at the recipe-and I'm not a cook so you'll probably be fine, you could take some ricotta cheese, put a little Tomato sauce and then a little mozzarella and microwave it--- DELICIOUS and allowed!

Pace yourself slowly and take any meds. prescribed is what I'd say. I have tons ready to go. I haven't had to take my nausea meds. but everything is waiting should I need. I do take the acid block every morning and haven't had heartburn I guess because of it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
