All I can say is...

YUMMY IN MY NEW TUMMY!!!    I am doing a pureed diet for two weeks post op. This has not been such a great experience.  is a no no, etc.  But I had something tonight that was worth writing home about....or is that to my friends on OH? My mom made homemade meat marinara sauce with lots of fresh veggies for a few of my friends, dad etc.  I pureed my proper portion and mixed in a little low fat ricotta and OMG I have to tell you.... You would think I was eating Crème Brule!!!  It was fantastic! AND my new tummy LOVED it!!  It is really exciting to find something that taste good and agrees with me.  YAY MOM!! I didn't realize how much I had missed her cooking.  (It's been five years) I apologize if this is too cheesy...No pun intended!!   Happy Tuesday evening to all! Candice

Sounds wonderful Candice, and I'm glad you're doing so well.  Someone posted a "lasagna" recipe on here not too long ago.  It was ricotta, mozzarella, and some sauce baked in a ramekin.  Sounds like you stumbled upon something similar.  I have a friend that liked pureed cheeseburger during her pureed diet time.  She said she liked the idea that she was eating real food.  Whatever works for you is good. Take care and keep us posted. Ellen

Hi Candice! So nice to hear from you again!  Have been praying for your recovery.  And thanks for the "recipe".  Like Ellen I am more of a "real food" person and this is just the sort of thing I expect to be eating during the puree stage. Keep us posted, Sweetie! Suzanne

Candice -

I'm glad to hear that your "pizza" was soooo good! It's great that your mom has been able to put together something that you were able to enjoy so much.

I really look forward to seeing you this Saturday.
