I'm now five weeks what are some things I can eat now. I'm so tired of liquid food and food with the consistency of baby food. What is everyone eating a lot of. Help.

At 5 weeks you are likely able to move on to "soft foods" pretty easily. My dr described this as anything I could mash with my tongue. chicken salad, tuna salad, Refried Beans, pimento cheese, yogurt (with a 1/2 scoop of Protein powder added), sugar free pudding snack (with 1/2 scoop of Protein Powder added), fish (tilapia for example), hummus, ricotta bake. If you had sleeve, you may be able to tolerate a little more solid food but completely depends on your situation and your doctor and NUT suggestions. Check out http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.com which has a lot of great recipes and tips. There is also a section on this board about food that may have some suggestions.

Hang in there! You will get there!

What's a ricotta bake? I think I heard about it here somewhere...how do you make it?

I found quite a few ricotta recipes but not one that said "ricotta bake." I'll keep looking!
