Thanks T. Yeah -- the Costco near me has chicken salad that always needs a touch more salt at a minimum.
I've looked at the canned chicken, but never purchased it. I like the 2.5 pound packs of rotisserie chicken meat they have near the chicken salad (at the local Costco anyhow).
Hi Everyone -- I'm back here having had a VSG 6.5 years ago. I've gained a lot of weight back and am looking into a revision, but ALSO looking into getting real about eating well and exercise. If you could only recommend one food plan book, what would it be and why? It's pretty overwhelming out there!
Thanks,
Lucy

thanks so much for your advise. I will try what you said. I am sorry about you dad. I know it hurts so much. thanks again.
I'd start with a set of labs just to be sure you're ok nutrition wise, & to get a baseline so you can keep track.
Go to the rny forum & check out the What are you eating threads. It can give you any idea what your fellow rny'rs are eating.
Forget about the starting with liquids & going through the stages. You have a fully matured pouch, doing that again is really more of a mental reset, to me its torture. You couldn't pay me to go back to liquids.
Log everything you're eating in an app like My Fitness Pal, to get at least a baseline of what you're eating now & move forward from there.
My plan has me getting 80oz of water, 80oz of protein, along with vitamins. My plan didn't originally have me counting carbs or calories but I still keep track anyway. Mostly carbs around 50, I aim for 30 when in weight loss mode. Calories 1200, or between 800-1000 when in weight loss mode.
My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I lost my Dad years ago & I miss him everyday.
Look into therapy also, so the next time you experience such a terrible loss, you won't turn to food to cope.

#2 is the canned Kirkland chicken in water, its not a salad, only chicken, which isn't bad after you season it up. I have a few cans of this myself. They do sell chicken salad in those plastic containers where they have the shrimp, but its alway**** or miss at the costco by me if they ever have it, & sometimes the seasoning is a little on the bland side.

I'm sorry for your struggles. Does your surgeon have a nutritionist on staff or that they could recommend? A few visits would help you get back on track.
Take care

I had gastric bypass surgery 5 years ago and lost 200 pounds. I put 100 back on. I had a lot of issues going on. Along with moving from a big city to a small town to the biggest and most depressing and heart breaking one was losing my mother last year. It has been almost a year and it is time to start living again. I have been mourning the lost of my mother and eating like there was no tomorrow. I am ready now to get back on track. I have to lose the weight but I don't know where to start. I don't know what to eat. Do I start all over again with liquids and then puree foods, and solids? I still have problems with food. I can tolerate junk food but I cannot eat vegetables, meat, salads, etc. I end up vomiting. I saw a surgeon last week and he is doing tests on me before any revision is done. Also he wants me to meet with a psychiatrist to deal with the death of my mother. I just need help as to what to eat. Please any advise where to start. thanks
During the pureed stage, I ate some baby food too. Just like you mentioned, just read the labels. :) Congratz on your upcoming surgery!

I saw them..but even now - over 8 years post op when I see food that has sugar added - i avoid it. there si no good reason to add sugar to perfectly good - and most of the mn sweet anyway - vegetables.
I can and make my own - with no added sugar CORN STARCH, MALTODEXTRIN etc. or even rice. rice may not be bad - but ...my body turn starches into sugar very fast-
the 3 gr of sugar does not seams like a lot - but i tsp of sugar has 4 gr of sugar so this has close to 1 tsp of sugar...
and corn...

I'm getting sleeved two weeks from Wednesday, and trying to plan in advance for the stages of eating afterwards. Given the nature of eating soft / pureed foods, commercial baby food came to mind as an easy, transportable way of getting protein in. I haven't researched the nutritional content of the "meat" items that are available, but just wondering if anyone else has tried and had any experience with this? Thanks!
you obviously have never tasted baby food...
