Thank you. I didn't even realize it but I hit phase 4 last week and I've been doing great with chicken breast. I've been majorly craving meatballs. I'm going to try to make some myself. It's so cold here that I think crockpot soup from the website you linked would be great

Try to use scrubs, peelings, cleansing and matting masks. That worked for me!

Yeah actually have thought about the ricotta bake. I have a strong aversion to bone broth now and most broths but I'm trying. I'm going to try to make a white chicken chili with some beans. I've been able to tolerate deli turkey and chicken breast so that's nice. And low fat cheese.

the only sweet thing I can really do is some low fat yogurt from Amazon fresh but now that I can eat other things it's a bit high in sugar.

i had scrambled egg whites with turkey today. But tbh eggs are starting to tase weird to me which sucks

Hi there!

Sounds like it's been a rough ride for you. Not sure how helpful this might be but we do have a couple of similarities. Before surgery I wasn't a fan of flavored sweet things, and that's been exacerbated afterwards. I also have had plenty of food aversions where things I loved, or that sounded good, tasted bad or I couldn't eat more than a bite.

For me, I ended up practically living on plain, low fat cottage cheese and unflavored, nonfat Greek yogurt for a while. Bone broth and Fairlife milk added extra protein during early phases. My craving was salt rather than sugar but the cottage cheese helped with that. And broth. If you can experiment to find a couple of foods you can tolerate that are high protein, that could help. Ricotta bake was an early one for me, too.

I also pester my dietician a lot for feedback based on tolerance issues. They may have some recommendations that will work for you. Best of luck!
