I not sure if the sounds good to anyone else. But I took a can of Premium Chunk White Chicken Breast and half a container of Alouette garlic and herb cheese spread and put it in a food processor until it was the consistence of dip. Taste good cold but could also be heated up in a ramekin. Use the Light Alouette or Laughing Cow (I could not find any) 2oz serving has approximately 6 g Fat, 4 g Protein and 75 Calories. They also have different flavor cheese spreads.

What food processor is the best for the pureed foods? I have had a couple suggestions but not from folks that have actually had to go through this stage of eating after sleeve surgery. Thanks for any suggestions????

I wanted to thank you for all the information and variety of foods! I'm not at this point yet but I have copied a lot of what you have shared and put it onto word documents so I have an easy reference point to look at! Thank you so much!

What kid of sauce do people use for eggface ricotta recipe?

[bikrchk]

I use a non-chunky spagetti sauce like prego. I also put some fresh spinach in the ricotta and use a slice of polenta for a 'crust'. Kinda makes spinach lasagna casserole.

I also bought Hormel brand Roas Beef Hash and processed it. I was able to take a few bites. Hormel also makes a corned beef hash that you can do the same thing with, I just don't like corned beef.

wondering about this because it sounds great!! but I was told no red meats for 4wks? guess everyones diet is different.

I made some Buffalo chicken dip.

Used Franks Red Hot recipe (can find it on Google) that I modified a bit since I'm not a cream cheese fan.

Boiled chicken breast in the processor
1/3 cup fat free blue cheese dressing
4 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese
1/3 cup Franks Red Hot
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

Mix together in baking dish

Cook at 375 for 20-30 minutes

Adjust Red Hot or other Buffalo sauce for consistency (I added more at end to make more liquid-y).

Hurray! Glad to see Indian food on someone's menu! We mostly cook Indian food in the house, as my ex was Indian, and we all love it. It'll mean I can just blend mine and eat the same thing as the kids. THAT excited me more than anything!!

I took Tomato Soup, added oregano, garlic and Italian Hot Sausage and blended it in my Black and Decker food processor--yummy! Before I ate it, I added a little shredded sharp cheese.

Hey Nikki,
I'm feeling really good! It is natural to be nervous. Listen, we have Dr. Fresco and Dr. Strom two of the best, you will do just fine. Call me if you ever have any questions!

Hi everyone! Not sure if this sounds good to anyone, but I have a mini sweet tooth and this kind of helps.
2 tablespoons of low fat Ricotta
1 teaspoon of natural applesauce
1 packet of splenda
dash of cinnamon
Mix and enjoy.
If you need to add a little more applesauce you can.
Hope you like it!
