I have been baking ricotta cheese with a bit of salsa mixed in. Stays down.

I went out and had gauc and black Beans. It was amazing!! Would be pretty easy to make at home.

I think your idea of ricotta and sauce sounds delicious!

I've had a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ( I put hot sauce on mine), sometimes a just have a little bit of peanutbutter.

That sounds amazing. I have added white beans and ground turkey meat to my ok food list.

I get to start mushy foods tomorrow and I am stoked. The ricotta bake was nice and soft scrambled eggs were okay, but I'm ready to eat something new.
I'm continuing to track positively everything I eat and drink (even sugar free gum, even Vitamins, even hot tea) on MyFitnessPal and it does help. There are days where I get a little carried away early in the day and it helps to know I need to have a lower calorie or lower carb dinner. It's extraordinarily helpful in tracking Protein, too.
Plus--and let's be real here--all of us going down this road have WAY too much anxiety on our hands and spend INSANE amounts of time thinking and worrying about it. Having the food journaling as a little obsessive place I can focus some of that nervous energy is probably a good thing.

Try white chili with ground Turkey.

I gained another 0.3 kg between today and yesterday. I'm monitoring my caloric intake. So far, I've consumed 645 calories today.

Contact your Dr. Also are you close to menstruation? Most of us gain Water weight during this time. I too am weighing daily but I am really looking at weekly gain/loss.

Can anyone share acceptable puree ideas? The baby food chicken/peas are killing me [emoji16]

I contacted my surgeon's office yesterday and they said not to worry. If I gain again tomorrow, I will phone my surgeon's office again tomorrow. As for menstruation... I am a transgender woman, I do not menstruate.

Hang in there girl. Remember this, we WILL lose substantial weight, all of us, but we have to keep it off [emoji16]

That's the objective. When I spoke with the nurses at my surgeon's office yesterday, she told me that she would expect me to lose 10% of my starting weight by my six-week appointment. Since I've already lost half that, it could come down.

When was surgery for you? I am at 2 weeks today and almost to 5%.

My two-week post-op check was on Monday and Tuesday would be two weeks from my surgery.

Oh cool we are very close. You are doing great. What are you eating? Are you on puree? I am struggling with that.

The remarkable thing is how different each of these programmes are. For me, they discharged me from the hospital as soon as I could handle full liquids, a couple of days later I could start the purée diet and now, I am on soft foods.

Man I feel cheated and jealous! I am supposed to do puree for 2 weeks. I feel I could avoid more carbs on soft/regular. But oh well.

I was in the hospital 2 days because of vomiting day 1. Doing ok since.
