Normie, do you WLS for dummies book???? I just got a week or so back and they have the stages menu, as suggestions of what food to eat at which stage.
The book says puree protein sources are:
scrambled eggs
no sugar added or lite yogurt
low fat ricotta cheese
stage-one baby food meats
low fat, small curd cottage cheese
Suitable food hoices in Carbohydrates include:
smooth oatmeal(do not use prepackaged, use your own and add Splenda)
cream of wheat
cream of rice
stage 1 baby food veggies and fruits
Pureed veggies and pureed fruits
It states "Carbohydrates shold be a minimal part of your diet in these stages and for the rest of your life because of your bodys protein requirements. You should be at this stage 2 weeks unless your surgeon tell you different.
This is from WLS for DUMMIES Pages 136-137
