Hi. I have noticed a lot of confusion about what to eat. I thought I'd share the foods that were suggested to me by my bariatric team. Sadly, the file is too large, even in photo format. So, I'm writing it out.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR OWN DOCTORS GUIDELINES!!
Clear Liquids:
Protein Water
Sugar Free Jello and Popsicles
Sugar Free Sorbet
Chicken, Beef or Vegetable Broth
Diluted Fruit Juice
Full Liquid: All if the Above PLUS
Protein Shakes, including Carnations no sugar added Instant Breakfast
Sugar Free Pudding with added protein
Cream Soups, with added protein
High Protein no sugar added Yogurts
I suggest finding protein shake recipes, as you're going to get bored with the premise flavor s.
Puree: All of the Above PLUS
Cream of Wheat
Mashed Veggies ( sweet potatoes, butternut squash & cauliflower were my favs)
Pureed Meats/Fish with gravy or broth ( I did not do this .. Gross!! lol)
Cottage Cheese
Soft Scrambled Egg
No Sugar Added Applesauce
Soft Foods: All if the Above PLUS
Canned Tuna
Cheese
Ground Chicken, Turkey or Lean Beef
Stewed or slow cooked Meats
Fish
Soft Cooked veggies
Eggs (all ways)
Regular Diet: Healthy Swaps
Skim or low-fat Dairy
Sugar Free or No Sugar Added
Healthy Fats - Avoid Trans Fat
Lean Meats
Fresh or Frozen Vegetables and Fruits with No Added Sugars
Bake, Broil or Steam instead of frying or sauting in oils
Low Fat Refried Beans
Whole Grains for Breads, Cereals, Crackers etc
Read Package Labels!! Oftentimes, reduced fat has added a lot of extra sugars, starches, or sodium. Reduced sugar can mean added fats. If an item has more than 10 ingredients, put it down and make your own.
There are a TON of recipes, here and all over the internet, for protein shakes, smoothies and other healthy recipes. Homemade is always better than prepackaged. The additives to control flavor consistency are really bad for you and some have proven to be addictive.
Again, you should always follow your teams dietary guidelines. These are just suggestions made to me, by my teams nutritionist.
