Your doctor should have a required diet for you to follow after surgery. I eat yogurt, protein shakes and bars, cheese, chicken, salads, tuna, nuts and fruit! I have lost almost 150 pounds and I feel great......
      starting weight...307 Surgery weight..274 Onederland...198 (3/6/10)
 I lost 33 pounds before surgery. My new life has finally began

Some surgeons have a required diet...some don't. Remember WLS is a tool so you'll have to change your eating & lifestyle. I'm not much of a meat eater either. What you eat will depend on how long after WLS, especially the first year. At 2 years out next month I still do not feel hunger. I eat 5-6 small (1/4 cup) meals per day. No snacks. Some high protein & foods I eat are: refried beans, greek yogurt, turkey, cheese, cottage cheese, fresh low-starch veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), fresh fruits (I put into yogurt or cottage cheese), & lots of soups made with meat. (Even though I don't like most meat I can handle it when it's cut into small pieces & added to home made soup.) I try to eat mostly homemade foods. I often add unflavored protein into dishes...the family doesn't know the difference:-) Even at that I still do not eat enough to get in 60g protein so I also drink protein supplements. My most recent labs were 100% perfect so I'm eating right. Hope this helps.

I myself have never been a big meat eater either and I find that after having this surgery 6 months ago what I tolerate most is seafood.... Like shrimp and scallops.... I can also eat deli thin sliced turkey and ham... and I can eat chicken that has some sort of sauce with it... You'll also notice that after having this surgery your palette will change quite a bit... things you liked before you may not like after.... or you may find yourself being a little more adventurous when it comes to trying out different cuisines now... like me! lol
Anyhow good luck with your journey!

Bonnie is sooo right. Your tastes will change dramatically. I used to love bread & pasta. Can't tolerate them now. I used to love grilled sandwiches. Nada. Cannot even think of eating fried foods like french fries, chicken, etc even though I ate them a lot before WLS. Go with the flow. Trust your body. Change your lifestyle to enhance your new tool. WLS is NOT the only answer but it is a wonderful starting point as long as you are willing to WORK HARD at gaining control of your life & your weight. The results, if you are willing to work at them, are incredible and well worth it. Feeling alive for the first time in 25 years:-)
