6 wks post op RNY-what to eat?

 Today is my 6 week mark after my RNY and my handouts tell me that I'm in the final "rest of your life" stage.   

Low fat, low sugar.


But what the heck do I eat???  What are you guys eating???

Valerie- go to this blog and read the many many recipes and posts. She is great! I have tried so many recipes and they are all good.

Let's see, I just talked to my surgeon yesterday (I'm five weeks out), here's what I'm allowed to eat and what I am eating (just a few ideas):

My favorite is ground turkey with low-sugar marinara sauce and instead of noodles I make spaghetti squash (my family didn't even know the difference!)

Taco meat (I rinse the meat after cooking it to get all the grease off) with refried beans and just a little cheese on top

String cheese (good protein!)

Last night I made shredded (really shredded)rosemary chicken and baked it with different veggies  with olive oil spray over the top

chili (with no chili powder though)

baked potatoes (no skin)

I'm making meatloaf tonight with ground turkey

I just got the okay this week to start eating salad!!!

Pretty much I just take normal recipes and adjust them so they are low sugar, low fat. My big restrictions at this point are no steak, no pork, and no fruit with skin.  Of course, everyone is different, but these are the type of things I've been ok'd to eat. Hope that gives you some ideas. If you google bariatric surgery recipes or gastric bypass recipes that pulls up some good recipes!
