My doc put me on soft foods. If it can be smashed with a fork I can eat it. I have egg and cheese for breakfast usually. For lunch I have chicken salad on Parmesan cracker and Greek yogurt that I make with my instantpot. Dinner has been turkey and cottage cheese or more chicken salad. I add protein powder whenever I can. I can't drink protein shakes they make me gag. I am four weeks post op as of tomorrow. I will be starting regular food next week.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I have been told by several people that the "diet" my doctor put me on is crap!!! what were you eating starting on day 21 post op??? I have gone through several menus, and I do not want to push myself to much!!

Not sure where you are in your process (pre op vs post op and if so at what stage)
Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt (15 grams of protein)
Small containers of chicken salad or tuna salad or egg salad served with fresh greens (e.g. bowl of salad)
Hard boiled eggs
Protein shakes made in a shaker bottle with fairlife skim milk (kept in fridge) and protein powder from individual packets or packed on your own in baggies.
Protein bars
Sargento Cheese snacks -- the little containers with the cheese, nuts and raisins or dried cranberries
Cheese sticks (cheddar, jack, mozzarella)
Cashews or Almonds
Keep on losing!
