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, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
