Hello again, I just wanted to know what people eat after the liquid diet phase. I guess I am asking for a sample menu in a day in the life of a RNYer. Tryin' to get an idea of my future.... Thanks, Wendi

This is from a booklet I got at the Baptist Hospital Open House for Weightloss Surgery, I think it was in November last year.  It is called "Your Guide To Eating After Gastric Bypass Surgery" and it was made by Baptist Health. This is page 7, Gastric Bypass Soft Diet Sample Menu, to give you an idea of what you will be eating like for the first 4 weeks after the liquid diet. BREAKFAST: 1-2 tsp Oatmeal (made with Skim Milk) 1-2 tsp Applesauce 1-2 tsp Fat Free Yogurt          OR 1-2 tsp Cheerios (with Skim Milk) 1-2 tsp Ripe Banana (mashed) 1-2 tsp Fat Free Yogurt 30 MINUTES AFTER BREAKFAST: 100% Apple Juice (sip slowly) SUPPLEMENT: 8oz Sugar Free Protein Shake LUNCH: 1-2 tsp Nonfat Cottage Cheese 1-2 tsp Peach Half (unsweetened) 1 Fat Free Wheat Cracker            OR 1-2 tsp Nonfat Cheese 1-2 tsp Green Beans 1 Fat Free Melba Toast 30 MINUTES AFTER LUNCH: Skim Milk (sip slowly) SUPPLEMENT: 8oz Sugar Free Protein Shake SUPPER: 1-2 tsp Nonfat Yogurt 1-2 tsp Pear Half (unsweetened) 1-2 tsp Brown Rice          OR 1-2 tsp Tuna Salad 1-2 tsp Cooked Carrots 1 Whole Wheat Cracker 30 MINUTES AFTER SUPPER:  Skim Milk (sip slowly) -------------------------------------------- Okay to be honest with you, I didn't break up my 2 tablespoons into a teaspoon or 2 of this and that, I just ate 2 tablespoons of one thing, like for breakfast I would eat 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese or yogurt, then for lunch I would eat 2 tablespoons of tuna with some fat free mayo mixed in and put through the blender to make it smooth.  And then for dinner I would have 2 tablespoons of macaroni and cheese chopped up real well, or pretty much whatever I could puree or chop into a smooth texture.  I puree'd everything for a long time, even now I sometimes still put my meat through my magic bullet mixer, it just make it easier for me to eat.
