? Mushy Food 2nd week into lapband.

Satruday, I will start my 8th day with the lapband, a little confused on what to start eating. I know Mashed potatos, eggs, applesauce but what else.  So confused..  Need Some help.

Thanks,
AFB

Oatmeal, yogurt, pudding, well forked tuna or egg salad

Baked ricotta .."google for a recipe, it is like the insides of lasagna ... Yummy.

Thanks,  egg salad with mayo?  Tuna with Mayo?   Baked Ricotta with what else, I feelso lost in this next step.  Thank you for your respond.

Yes, we'll forked tuna with mayo and egg sals .. I use mayo and a little mustard. You need it really soft.
The baked ricotta recipe is something like

1 cup ricotta ... Part skim or fat free
1/2 cut parm cheese
1 egg
Salt, pepper, Italian spices as you desire
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

I mix all of that, then top with a little pasta sauce and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.

Than I ate about 1/4 cup at a time

I had surgery today, so not able to get up and find my written recipe.
I had a tummy tuck today..."wahoo!

Good luck with your tummy tuck.... I will be here everyday so when you do get up and get your notes, I WILL BE HAPPY  to read them.

How are you feeling with the tuck?

I have used soup in the blender. Bean soup, split pea soup ect. just a little in the blender till mush.
It is rather good. Also cottage cheese, re-fried beans are also good protein sources.
You'll do good I am sure, the bean soup may also help you go to the bathroom, that always a challenge when on liquids and mushies.

Good luck, and I am sure others will give you ideas too.

Thank you,

I will have to start to plan my week.  Bean soup in the blender.  Re-fried beans made  with what else.  Im listlening to everyone that can help me.

Thanks everyone...

Mashed retried beans with some cheese

Baked sweet potato mashed with a little light butter....mashed well



Remember, you will,probably be eating only 1/4 to 1/2 cupmatma time ..probably 5 times a day.

Better to eat SMALL meals more frequently than treat a lot at 1 time.

So don't fix too much or it will go to wate.

Thank you, if you have anything else that you can remember Im here to listen.

Thank you.

My doctor let me start on other foods the 2nd week. If I could tolerate it. Of course you should do what the doctor says. Everyones band can be different and everyone can tolerate different things. Sometimes trial and error.
