Ricotta is definitely on my approved plan, but reduced fat. I'm not as big of a ricotta fan as cottage cheese. Have you tried ricotta bakes? I just found out about them.

Way to go! I'm only 6 months post op. I had gastric sleeve on Oct 29, 2020, but I've used MFP every day before and after surgery. I started at 265 pre op, 254on day of surgery.

Yippee, @amberellakaye! I had gastric sleeve 6 months ago and have been using MFP everyday since. It's been vital to me. It is difficult to find WLS groups I've found, so welcome to this group!

I wish the dieticians had given me better macro nutrient guidelines. I'm still struggling with max carbs, max fats, etc. I also wish I could have found a larger support group of those who had been through the surgery already. I'm finding it now, but it was hard not having people to talk to in the beginning.

I personally plan all my meals and snacks throughout the week. That way I can see in advance what's going to happen during the week. I can plan for the times I'm going to be at work or running errands and take portable food with me, as needed. And, I like to grocery shop ahead of time.

Hello, I was 56 in October. Overweight nearly my entire adult life. I'm really looking forward to this group, and perhaps a few who would like to be a support and q/a MFP friend(s).
