Favorite Foods/Shakes/Recipes

[MasonMoonGirl 43]

Good Morning Everyone!

QOTD is what is your favorite recipe/foods/shakes for your pre or postoperative surgery? I am still able to eat many foods except for carbs still so I haven't delved into Bariatric recipes yet, but I will share mine once I do! For now I've been trying a lot of different Protein Shakes from Premier Protein including chocolate vanilla, chocolate Peanut Butter, cake batter, strawberries and cream and caramel. I love all of them, except for strawberries and cream is not my favorite, but they have been great for when I'm craving dessert! I have one for Breakfast in the morning and I mix it with a scoop of Vital Proteins collagen to keep my skin looking great during this process! I feel like that and my Solgar Biotin and hair Skin and Nails has already been helping. I am big on skin care amd a Sephora "junkie" and can give anyone advice on that!

I just discovered cake batter! Good stuff! Vanilla and caramel are my other favorite flavors.

Scrambles eggs, cottage cheese and regular cheese were my friend in the initial weeks after surgery.

Some people make ricotta bake, which you'll have to Google because I never made it.

Ricotta bake sounds so good, I'll check that out thanks! Good thing I love cheese and eggs! I feel like during the pureed stage cottage cheese and yogurt are going to be my only friends 🤣🤣

There's a reason Shelly's Baked Ricotta is the most popular soft food recipe in the WLS community. It's basically lasagna minus the Pasta and it is amazing after weeks of Protein Shakes and sugar-free Jello. Pro tip: divide the recipe into 8 ramekins or small glass dishes before baking.

You could also try scooping the recipe into a muffin tin. That would make more appropriate servings. Maybe even use cupcake liners for easier cleanup

I could add shredded chicken/beef to up the Protein per divided serving.
