soft diet and regular diet???
I think Lack of food has affected my brain... Can some of you please refresh my memory.
What are the types of things I am suppose to eat after gastric bypass for soft other then scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and deli meats? Then when I get to regular diet other then breads and carbs what am I to avoid? Can I have whole grain wheat bread or brown rice? Thanks Tonya
In general, the difference between soft diet and regular diet is FIBER. A soft diet would include white bread, white rice, canned fruits and vegetables, eggs, soft meat. A regular diet would include all those things but it could contain fresh fruit, fresh veggies, whole wheat bread, brown rice ....
In general, once you are on a regular diet, you want to avoid: fried foods, high fat foods, sugary foods. For WLS, a regular diet is typically a low fat, low sugar, high protein diet.
Good luck.
