- VSG Pureed Diet TIps and Tricks- Meal Prepping some transition foods - Full Liquid to Pureed Stage
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ICONIC PROTEIN - www.drinkiconi...
Ricotta Bake
i.pinimg.com/o...
( I added 1 scoop Genepro) ( i used full fat cheeses, feel free to use whatever you like)
(Made 4 4oz servings)
230 cals - 21 protein -net carbs 5.8 - fat 15.3
( for me this was too thick and I wasn’t ready for it, I think it was wishful thinking that I could have this already. I plan to wait a week or so before reintroducing - this is probably more a cross of puree/soft?)
Cinnamon Sweet Potato Puree
1 sweet potato, cinnamon
sweetener of choice ( I used a cinnamon “sugar” blend I had previously made using THM Gentle Sweet, but any stevia or erythritol type will work)
4 oz NutPod Vanilla (or almond milk, or even some vanilla protein shake)
1 scoop Genepro
-- I blended it all up well and then put into 2oz serving containers --
56.7 cals - protein 5.2 - net carbs 8.1 - fat 0.7
Pinto “refried” beans
1 can pinto beans drained
1 oz shredded cheddar
½ packet lono life beef broth powder
1 scoop Genepro
Tiny bit water added to get consistancy
Blend till pureed well.
-- I placed into 2oz serving containers --
56.9 cals - protein 7.7 - net carbs 3.9 - fat 1.8
( next time I will probably add a bit of salsa to this for more flavor)
Sugar Free Protein Pudding
1 box sugar free pudding of choice
2 cups iconic protein ( or any protein shake of your choice here)
2 scoops genepro
Blend all well and then pour into 2oz containers and store in fridge
25.6 cals - protein 6.9 - net carbs 1 - fat 0.3

I’m so sick of soups and protein shakes I want food. !!!! I feel dead inside lol 😂
I feel ya
Same here
Same first week and I'm Regretting this
omg so feel u!!
And In addition to having gotten fed up of the liquid stuff my severely painful constipation 😢 I’m already fed up. So, I FEEL YOU 😭
Omg I'm so excited for the puree stage this soup stage is killing me 😅
Yay!!
Thank you so very much. While watching I bought 1oz cups, food scale, sieve and the protein powder surgery in 1 month
Yay! I love when I can help people in any small part of their journey to best health!
All of these look so amazing! I've used alot of your recipes. There is only one thing I would add on here so ppl new to vsg don't try it. Sugar alcohols, such as erythritol, glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol.
Are all sweeteners that should be avoided after surgery as they can cause dumping syndrome and more. Stevie is the recommended sweetener for post vsg.
Thanks so much! But I do disagree. Most post VSG handle sugar alcohols- dumping is with gastric bypass… but I personally only use allulose at this point as my sugar substitute. I never have ever used or recommended glycerol, mannitol, or sorbitol- I do think erythritol and xylitol work well for most- I don’t really like them.
This is extremely helpful and informative! Thank you!
Hi there !! Thanks for all the great stuff. I am terrified for surgery BUT I know I must!!
Glad to help
These are fantastic! Thank you so much! You are so adorable btw!
Awww thanks!!!!
I know this is an older video but for someone who just had surgery Friday evening, this is incredibly helpful for me! I have my eating plan from my nutritionist but seeing others and what they make and try along the process before I get to them is wonderful! If you happen to see this, what all did you add on your week two? I believe that is the week where I can start doing protein shakes? So still liquid but a little bit thicker?
I just want to thank you for all of the recipes. I am not a post-VSG patient, but instead have the opposite problem. I am severely underweight due to a paralyzed stomach and weak esophagus. I have to eat purees and I am getting really tired of the same thing every day. I watched your other Puree video and I am totally excited to make some chicken salads! I never even thought about spicing it differently and the sweet curry really sounds divine. I hope you are well and your journey is going well.
Oh my goodness I am so so glad you commented and shared that!!!! I hope you can get some help out of these ideas! Prayers hun!
Just found this video and read your comment. How are you doing? I also depend on a half puree, half liquid diet due to my swallowing problem. I am also underweight due to some severe side effects from a cancer treatment. My tongue base muscle is now inflexible, affecting both eating and speech. Would like to know how you are coping with your daily food intake. I am basically depending on protein drinks now. It's a tough journey but we keep going with our heads up, ok? Take care. All the best to you.
I also have paralyzed stomach and allergic esophagus. I am trying to move from liquid diet and introduce pureed food. My doctor told me to buy baby food, but I checked them out and they all appear to be gross. I get the feeling of eating the same thing all the time getting old. I have been living on 1/2 cup milk1/2 banana smoothie and one scrambled egg a day.
Thank you - so happy I stumbled on your site. I have been struggling with a puree and liquid diet for my Fiancee who was diagnosed with stomach cancer several months ago. Your recipes above will help me add something different to his diet. All I need to do is add calories to his prep which will be easy to do. Your a doll - thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I’m so sorry y’all are dealing with that. I’m so glad to be of some help. Y’all will be in my prayers
I just got my surgery 2 days ago! Thank you for this video. It gives me ideas for when I hit the purée stage
So glad to hear from you. So happy to help. How are you feeling????
I just had bypass on 3.14.23
On full liquids now but looking forward to trying pureed recipes for sure. Thank you for sharing❤❤
Does anyone else wanna hug her & hang out with her ? She's sooo adorable
Aww thanks hun!!! I’d love to stick around and hang out with me here!
I am wondering why the diet is so different from Dr. to Dr. I was told absolutely NO veggies, potatoes or fruit in the puree/soft stage.
I have never heard that from anyone anywhere- but definitely stick to your dr recommendation immediately post op
630soccergirl My doctor doesn't allow post vsg patients who are in the purée stage to consume starchy veggies, cheese of any kind, sugar free pudding, avocados, legumes, but 2 oz. of puréed fruit is ok. There are huge differences in dietary guidelines post surgery, so I follow my particular rules to the letter, though it is interesting to see how varied the diets are.
Hello!! Wow!!! What an amazing video. I was sleeved a week ago and this is the greatest video for meal prep! Thank you soo so much! I’m a new subscriber !! Yay!!!!
I’m so glad I can help!!!!!!
I have my surgery on 5/24 so I am saving this!
Oh I'm going to SAVE THIS!!! I'm still pre-op and love this.
I’m so glad!!!
I need a video about how you organize and store all your keto/protein/gadget stuff
Good idea. I’ll start thinking an working on that
6 days post op not being able to chew something is driving me crazy
It’s such a short time. You’ll get there. Cheering for you.
My bypass was Tuesday, I’m so tired of jello and broth. Looking forward to following your recipes. Thank you so much. You have me hope. ♥️
Yay!!! That makes me so happy!!!! Cheering you on!!!!
Omg the ricotta bake is so good!! I’m on purées and it’s literally the first decant thing I’ve had in about a month 😂 I used pesto instead of tomato sauce my tummy isn’t a fan of tomato and it came out so good! Thanks for the recipes!
That sounds fabulous. Great idea
Oh, I love pesto
Mmm pesto! I recently found another “Mexican” or “Spanish, Cuban, Latino” version of what I think will be delicious made this way, it’s Goya brand Recaito cooking base, it’s made from cilantro, green bell pepper, onion, garlic powder. I’m goin to try this for a cheesy enchilada flavored purée. Maybe add some canned green Chilis , and layer the ingredients. Truly the versions are endless!
my surgery is happening in 2 months. I need to learn to prep meals and chew. This was so perfect for me. I just subscribed and clicked my bell. I'm so happy I found you. God Bless
I’m so glad I could be of help!!!!! So excited for you and your journey
Sayra Delgadillo wish you the best. I’m scheduled December 10 2019
As someone on the puréed stage, this video saved me!
THANK YOU❤️
I am so so glad!!!
Ricotta bake was great on soft foods!! It was so good to have tasty instead of sweet
It really was sooo good. I am glad I tried it!
I have been watching recipe tips for months in preparation for bariatric by-pass over two weeks ago.
I am now finishing my full liquid diet and am moving into soft foods next week. This is by far the best, most helpful video I've seen. You measure, weigh and follow the rules that I was given AND you're obviously a good cook.. Thank you so much for sharing. .
I’m so so glad to hear that!!! My big goal was to help others on similar journeys!!!!
I’m one week out from surgery and I am so glad I found you! December 4th put me on the losers side, yay. Love that you are still keto, that’s what I did from my high weight of 315 to my surgery day weight of 253. You have a new follower for sure!
Welcome welcome. Congrats and so glad to have you here!
I am preparing for my own VSG path and find your videos so helpful. I also plan on doing Keto after surgery. I'm doing "lazy" keto right now. I am also a nurse, so I can relate to a lot of your references. I appreciate you and wish you the best on your journey!!
When is your surgery? Mine is supposed to be around the first week of Jan.
Same to you!!!!! I’m rooting for you!!!!
My surgery was nov 23,2018
@@noneed4sleeve285 ...mine is going to be around April. I have 4 more "monitored" weight loss Dr. appointments. The insurance hoops are kinda crazy. Good luck to you!
@@msbuc77 Oh I know. I have never been to so many doctor appointments in my life. It will all be worth it once we have surgery.
New subbie! I had my sleeve 2/24 and still on clear liquids. So happy to find your channel bc I love to cook & meal prep. I’m definitely making all your recipes, the protein pudding is a great idea! I was sad before surgery bc I love to cook but now I realize I still can cook but with very healthy options now, thank you!
For sure you can. I am still a foodie and I still love to cook
Where did you get the ginger packet from. That's so neat
Walmart and Target both have in frozen section!
Hello. Im 3 weeks out an this week is. (Puree/ soft.) i really dont no what to do.an its so expensive.the things i need... Can you tell me the main things ill need. On( puree) ...an is eggplant. Soft food..if baked....an my religion wont let me eat anything. ((Pork))). What do i put in its place??
It’s pretty easy to avoid pork products- def not necessary- Genepro protein powder is pretty expensive but lasts a long time- I found it necessary to get in enough protein to use protein powders and I liked it best as it was a small scoop and unflavored.... in the long run it’s really not expensive at all to eat post op as we eat such tiny amounts- is recommend eating a lot of eggs if you tolerate them as they are so inexpensive- you can purée most veggies including eggplant after cooked- for example I did sweet potatoes and added in Genepro for protein... egg salad , chicken salad both can be purées and tasty. Also buffalo dip... I have a few more purée videos besides this one with more tips and Info
Great video !!!!! 😊❣️🫶🏻 I’m going to start buying the glass containers. New subbie btw 🎉
Can you please give me an Amazon link with the specific type of Genepro that you use? I can't find the one with 30 g of protein. Thank you!
I’m about to go onto purée’s after gastric bypass surgery last week. I don’t think I could handle the dairy fat in the ricotta and Parmesan. Today I stirred a couple of teaspoons of light sour cream into one of my usual soups & double strained it. It had me unwell for a couple of hours at least, irritated bowel & three trips to the bathroom, elevated heart rate. So mild dumping syndrome. Still very unpleasant. I’d only had about 1/3 cup of soup & then threw it out. Has anyone watching this video, who has had a gastric bypass successfully had ricotta or even this ricotta bake recipe without dumping syndrome?
Question, everywhere I've read says that protein powder cannot be heated above 140 degrees, yet I often hear and see recipes that include protein powder that have to be cooked in oven or microwave. So I'm confused. Help! Thanks!
It's 2022 But ma'am you have saved my sanity with these pureed recipes! 🙏🏻 Thank you! I plan on binge watching all of your videos 😁 I'm post op day 3 and I am having a hard time with protein shakes, tired of the fake sweetness!
Can't wait to start my pureed food diet 😋
I’m so glad to be able to help!
On stage 3 and I’m not allowed to eat any fruits, but bananas. I wish I could’ve made a smoothie like this.
Thanks so much for this fantastic and yummy video, I have just my gastric bypass and i am so sick of protein shakes and water 🤮🤮🤮 cant wait to make ricotta bake.🙏
Loved your video I had a gastric sleeve conversion to gastric bypass because of GERD, loved your food preps gone to make the ricotta bake for how long in the oven and what temp
Hello I’m new to your video I am going to bariatric sleeve can help with the food blends and purée please 😊
What does your doctor say about you doing keto? Did your dietitian talk to you about diet mentality Needing to change after the surgery?
I just finished the liquid diet. I’m stressing out about what purée foods I should eat. Thank u for helping !
The thing for me is that I can’t finish even a little bit of anything, I got VSG 2/22/23 so fluids are difficult and foods are not even a thing 😩 I’m not getting in anything
Super informative video, Erika, thanks so much! You’ve really got this prep system down!!! It’s Oct 2020 & I’m having my sleeve surgery Nov 17. This has been a great learning experience and you have a fabulous personality and positive outlook! God bless you & your family 🙏😘💕🥰💗👍😍🤩
I’m so glad to help on your journey- even a little bit! Cheering you on!
I did my research about the gastric sleeve and the gastric bypass surgery for many years now 😊
Thanks for this video very helpful. I’ve just had my sleeve done a few days ago. Been doing videos about us. Looking forward to moving onto pureed food.
I am so excited for you ! I am glad I have been able to be helpful in such a crazy time. Such a big transition, so many new things... I am cheering for you and I am here if you ever have any questions
My Stomach is screaming like a cookie monster 👻 😮😮xx
These look fantastic! I’m purée next week! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
Your welcome. More to come!
Thank you VERY much!!! Great help! I'm one-week post op! xoxo
I’m so glad!!! How’s it going???? Rooting for you.
I had Gastric Bypass on September 23rd, 2019 and I am preparing to start my puree phase next week. I have been looking forward to the Ricotta bake and Refried beans so I came back to rewatch your video. Thank you for the great ideas! The Ricotta bake; do you recommend storing in the fridge until you are ready to bake or baking them all first and storing in the fridge and re-warming? How long would you bake or microwave a single serving?
I found it to be tasty both ways. I baked the single servings when I first made it for like 15-20 min maybe??? Reheat in microwave in mine was like a minute maybe?
@@TimetoShrink awesome! Thank you
Congratulations! We became sleeved the exact same day. Start my soft foods Sunday the 6th. Cant wait!!!
@@poundcakex3 awesome!
Did your new tummy handle the ricotta bake? I was told foods should be like applesauce.
My purée stage starts tommorow!! Not even sure what to blend at this point. My program has me on a diet with no starches for 6 months post surgery 🙂🙃
Most of what I ate was very low carb, so low to no starch- but in the first few weeks I did have some beans... overall my purée videos should fit for you
I'm on the two week pouch re-set after 3 years post OP. One thing I do is add 4 tbls skim milk powder to one pint of semi-skim milk to push up the protein without cost of protein powders and low sugar option and I add ground almonds/almond flour to skimmed milk instead if buying it/ less process. Will try the ricotta bake. Thanks.
Great ideas!
Hi just an update for anyone doing the pouch reset plan, it worked for me. I lost 80kilo and then everything came to a halt. Two weeks on I am back on track. Enjoyed every smoothie and meals and have re-focused myself. If you are feeling frustrated give the plan a go. Its free online and simple to follow and safe. Good Luck!
I love your kitchen 💖
Thanks so much! I worked hard on picking it out!
I used to eat Oikos when I wasn’t Keto! Key Lime was my favorite flavor! Love the protein pudding. Just like a Keto fat bomb but protein style :) Great video Erica
Thanks!!!! The protein pudding has been helping me as it’s so concentrated and good amount protein!!!
I Love your kitchen!!! These are amazing recipes! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! I worked really hard at designing and executing our kitchen. I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlogs. I hope you try some of the recipes!
@@TimetoShrink Oh, I'll be trying them! I'm still have four nutrition appointments. I hope to have wls in June! I've been binge watching you today and saving the videos I know I'll need to go back to. :)
I thought after surgery you can’t have tomatoes stuff
Just out of surgery and this channel will certainly help! Where can I purchase the small plastic containers with lids?
Look in my amazon store. Link in description
I’m totally making the ricotta bake!!
Love this video!! I will def be using these after surgery!!! Thank you for sharing!!
This was fantastic! Thank you very much!!!!
I’m so glad!! Tomorrow I post the second part- my fav purées!!!
I just got to my pureed stage today!!! THANK YOU😭😭😭😭 I will go to supermarket today with an ingredients list. It will help me prep for the week. I'm tired of broth and protein
I’m so glad to help and be a small part of your journey!!!!
@@TimetoShrink 1 month post op and already lost 50lbs.. i am now on my solids stage but its really eating back to normal except no carbs, sugars or fats..
@@JustNel cheering you on!
Thank u so much for sharing this. I go for my consult next week, and naturally I have questions. I stumbled upon this video and I must say u put some worries to rest. New stubble! Thank u again. Best wishes on the rest of ur journey.
I am so so glad I was able to be helpful! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share that with me - it made my day!!!
I'm a week post op...I am a little food jealous (when hubby eats roast chicken, or my son grills a sausage I want to lose my mind) but I think the tomato soup, mushroom soup and butternut soup have been a real life saver. These recipes were right around what I though I might do...so Thank You!!
I’m so glad to help!!! I remember those days!
How did the butterscotch pudding turn out ?
You have so many awesome flavours of oikos!!! ARGH..we literally only have 3 flavours here and I am so over them right now lol. Been eating them for 9 months!!! I wish we had more variety here. Your meal prepping is fantastic. I think a lot of people are going to get so many helpful ideas from you! I see you going really far in this whole TH-cam thing. You're so well organised and your editing is spot on ^.^ I wish I had you in my life when I was just starting my RNY journey lol. That ricotta bake looks FANTASTIC! I'd still eat that right now...(but an entire full cup of it! lol) YUM!
You are the sweetest. Thank you so much for always being so encouraging to me. Luv you friend. Totally make the ricotta bake girl. It’s soo yumm.
Hi, I’m just beginning my journey. Ill meet my surgeon for the first time next week. I’m enjoying your posts and getting a lot of info.
I just wanted to warn you that canning jars are not made for dry heat. They can shatter or develop micro fractures and leave glass splinters in the food. They are made for wet heat (boiling) not the dry heat of an oven or microwave. I’m a home canner and see people making this mistake a lot. Freezing and boiling (after it thaws and is close to room temperature) are ok.
Thanks for the heads up!
Whats the name of the white protein you're using? I believe you mentioned that it's tasteless
Genepro
Thank you I appreciate it
This was a great video. I'm having the sleeve done in 10 days. I was wondering about tge puree stage if it and you gave some wonderful ideas. You made meal prep look so easy. I hope I can do the same. You are a life saver. I'm definitely a fan of yours and I subscribed. Thank you.
So great to meet you and have you here!!! Cheering for you on your journey
I’m 2 weeks out from my surgery
I can’t even think about food without wanting to 🤢🤮 and I only eat once a day 2 baby spoons and can’t finish my protein shake takes me 3 days to finish sleeved on 9/7/21 Hw 230 Cw 195 GW 145
You are just in baby stages. It’ll get better. Focus on hydration as protein next. Get genepro or other unflavored - it’s your full time job right now to do this. To get the hydration and Atleast minimum protein
You make cooking this stuff look so easy! Thanks for the recipes. I start my pureed diet in 6 more days so this will prepare me so much!
It’s my passion! Glad to help!
What temp did you bake it at? I missed that!
You have an update video of how you are doing now
I will be getting my gastric sleeve surgery this monday april 19 2021 iam nervous any advise from anyone will lovely appreciated
I chronicled my whole journey- maybe some of my videos leading up to and week of surgery could help. Cheering for you
Glad I found ur channel. Going to have surgery soon. I'm still so confused on the weighing of everything. And around I be putting protein in everytging6?
You will get the hang of it. Protein is king for a good while.
Hi, thanks for this video. Where did you get the little 2oz jars, I don’t see them on your amazing list. Thanks so much!
Amazon. It’s been years so exact ones may not be there?
Thanks you so much was feeling very overwhelmed and this has reassured me that I can do this and will definitely be doing the same.
I’m so honored to have been able to help you even a bit on your own journey

At what stage can we do the pureed food
It’s clear liquids, then full liquids, then purée- how long depends on your dr orders. Different doctors have a bit different plans
@@TimetoShrink thanks....on tuesday I will be 3 weeks out
Where can I find that food scale! Looks like a nice size , thanks!
I bought it years ago at Target
Erica, I love hearing you talk...reminds me of home! I'm a Louisiana girl living in England!! My surgery date has been set for Nov 11th!! So excited to prep for the different stages.
These recipes are so helpful. Thank you.
Also where about are you from??
I’m from SC!!!! So excited to have you here!!! I am cheering you on your journey!!
@@TimetoShrink thank you lovely lady! So glad to be here. Watching you is like being with a friend!!
I bet hobby lobby has 2 oz glass containers. All tho you probably don't need that now:)
Probably- great idea
My vsg surgery is October 22 2019 and I am so nervous!! Thank you SO MUCH!! I love how precise you are with this!! This is how I want to be with my meal prep! I love that scale!! I have one already but yours is awesome!
I’m so glad I could be a small portion of your journey!!!! I’m so glad this was helpful!!!!
I have the same surgery date! I'm so nervous. Preop diet starts on the 8th
@@danib80db I have been on my pre-op diet since September 30. 3 week diet. I'm documenting my journey here in YT as well. I wish you well in your journey!!
You’ve got this hun!!!!!!
Can you tell me the spelling of the gen pro powder. I tried looking it up but I don’t think it’s right
Genepro I beleive- all one word
I love this! I've been looking for hints and tips and your meal preps are so sensible. I've just purchased 100 2oz reusable plastic pots and 24 2oz bakeware ramekins. I figure it'll be so much easier to prep my meals and freeze and make up jello or puddings in the little pots too.
Definitely! I loved the little 2oz sizes!!!! I’m so glad you found it helpful!!!
Mine have just arrived! Waw!! They are tiny 😂😎
I love this video, Thanks
It is very encouraging.
I'm nervous about my surgery, but watching your videos helps me to see that I will be okay. Great Ideas 😁
I’m so glad to have a hand in calming some nerves!!!!! You got this!!! A huge step to choosing YOU and your HEALTH and prioritizing Self Care!!!!
@@TimetoShrink thank you!
How did you timed out your meals and water apart.
I'm afraid I won't give enough time between eating and drinking. How much water is recommended for us the drink?
Was this pre or post op?
Oiko is wonderful I eat it all the time. I'm writing all this down! Ty girl for tips. Still no call on a surgery date.
Soon!!!!!!
I am hungry 😡😡😡
I love this video! So helpful I’m 11days post-op now on purée !! Definitely will try these suggestions!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you - so happy I found on your site. The Ensure protein pudding is all sold out on Amazon. I was looking for an alternative. I cant wait to try the pudding recipe. Thanks!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you, subscribed.
Welcome!!!!!!
Where did you get that scale?
Joe Robles I ordered mine from Amazon. I really love it!
12 weeks andI can’t walk, eat and drink!🤕😮💨
It’s a lot. Just take your time and do your best. Priority fluids, protein next.
grat video! ill be coming back to watch this again when im ready to eat some of this stuff!
I'm having bariatric surgery in a few months time and I have been binge watching all of your videos - you are so incredibly knowledgable and am so grateful to have come across your channel. You are such a delight to watch! All the best! xoxo
I’m so very glad
My dietitian says no beans, no pudding, no starchy veggies…. And cheese as a flavoring. Every program is probably different, but I’m sad I can’t use these recipes!
@@bjenczyk that just goes to show how different every surgeons plan is. My surgery was over a year ago and I basically lived off of the recipes from this TH-cam channel and everything went really well. Some surgeons recommend a plant based diet while others recommend a protein heavy diet. I hope everything goes really well for you ☺️
Another journey to check out, Keepin’ it Real!:

New subscriber here, I'm waiting to be approved for my surgery. Keep up the great content!
Remember you can also buy your favorite soups and put them in the blender to puree them and add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to it after you warm it up.
Thanks so much for making this. I am 10 days post op and about to start purees. I was dreading it but you've given me hope.
I am so glad I found you!! I haven’t had my surgery yet but I am doing my research.
