What are you approved to eat
I had an rny Aug. 9th. The first 3 weeks home I was on a cream based full fluid diet. I had cream of wheat, creamed soups, yogurt, pudding and skim milk. I am now on a pureed diet and can pretty much have anything as long as it is soft or pureed. So far I have had soups, chilli, mashed potatoes, lean cuisine dinners and pasta.

Hello-
I had my RYN on 08/30. Today is exactly two weeks and I am down 33.7 as of this morning at 8am and then I went walking.
My eating consist of the following: water & crystal light, over 10+ differrent cream of soup (no more broth), pudding, jello, strained egg drop soup, shakes, Silk milk and dannon yogurts....-ALL of 2oz per serving and every 30-45 minutes to allow my stomach to empty. I'm eating maybe 3 times a day to get in the protein neccessary. I drink water consistenly throughout the day.
Good luck,-gwen
Hi Kay!
Hang in there, it only gets better! My surgery date was 8/30 and at my post-op checkup I was down 12lbs in 12 days. Yippeeee! I am allowed:
lowfat cottage cheese or regular cheese
eggs-I made my first post-op omelette today!
hot cereals (or soggy cold cereal-YUCK!)
tuna, chicken or turkey minced-I mix with lowfat mayo to make "salads"
soups whirled in a food processor (split pea, lentil & bean are good-you can add minced meats as above for added protein and bulk)
pureed fruits and vegetables
refried beans
protein supplements
and , of course, water!
So far, I have tolerated everything but I am very cautious about trying new things or eating too fast. I don't want to have any differences of opinion with this pouch!
Best of luck to you!!

p.s. I also found Tropicana Swirl Bars (no sugar added) in my local supermarket, they're yummy!
