What can I do with...Ricotta Cheese



Recommended Posts

No issues with it at all. It is very soft. Just don't let it burn or take caution if there are burned parts on the edges. As long as your program has approved you to move in to pureed / mushy foods, it should be fine. Tiny bites and put your fork son in between so you don't eat too fast. It is very filling so you won't be able to eat much. Quite literally 2 to 3 Tablespoons.

What food phase can that bake be had? Soft foods (3 weeks)? Because I am SO making that.

It looks like it would be soft phase based on my program.

I'm trying it tonight. Maybe a few days sooner than I should (not entirely sure, I'm on pureed foods?) but I need something to actually make me eat. It's smelling yummy! Plus there's some decent Protein in it.

Edit: Did alright. Would definitely avoid the top cheese crust and just mix it in next time during this stage. I had a few good bites but the chewy golden brown cheese crust was noticeably more "solid" then my stomach felt comfortable, so it did ache for a few minutes but nothing horrible. Keeping it down fine, I'm just going to avoid fluids for a little longer than half an hour suggestion because it feels a little bloaty in there. Otherwise, not a bad food for two and a half weeks.

Shoot. I was just about to write "don't let the top cheese get to Chrispy/chewy. It gave me a little bit of an issue!

      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.
