Congrats on the progress so far. I am 8 weeks out now myself. I ave found that eating Tilapia is my easiest for protein and light on the stomach (as well being cheap). You can cook it many ways because it absorbs any flavor you combine with it. I like a like olive oil and garlic. It is so full of protein you can add a table spoon or two of soft veggies (carrots steamed). I bought the big frozen bags at Walmart for $10 and they are perfect size at 2.5 oz each. I used to be a cook so if you need any idea just message me.
****also get an app on computer or phone for high protein food list*****
The list of no-no foods depends on what stage you are on. I think for most people you could eventually eat most things, but the better question is do you want to? Even with fear of dumping most people could take a bite or two of something sweet, just not the whole piece. Most people including myself, would tell you to stay away from the starchy type carbs as long as you can. I am 13 months out and one of my favorite foods... pizza is no longer a craving. I've had pizza 3x since surgery and it was always because I was out with other people... You have to know yourself, I have Sugar Free ice cream in the freezer, and I barely think about it, if I buy Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, I will eat them everyday until they are done. You have to get to know yourself....

I would check with my doctor & my dietian; Every one's response to soft foods may be different; my go to's have been cottage cheese and yogurts (plain, or sugar free fruit.) I will tell you that anything you choose check the labels; 5-10-15 rule: fat no more than 5 grams of fat, try to find foods with 10 grams or less of sugar, (prevents dumping) 15-20 grams or less of carbs. That has helped me so far. (Down 50 lbs from 265lbs) I had my surgery in April 2015. Good Luck!
Im starting my journey to revision from band. I'm looking for a list of foods we really can't eat after RNY. I really don't know what to expect with regard to lifestyle changes.
Hi All!
I am brand new to this site and tomorrow makes 1 month post op. I have already started the soft foods phase but I feel I am failing miserably! On a good day I am averaging about 540-600 calories but It is extremely hard to drink enough water and also difficult to eat and make sure that what I am eating is protein rich. In the morning I have been doing a Premier Protein shake and adding 1/2 cup Vanilla Soy milk which helps gives me a decent initial boost in protein but going downhill from there.
I say all that to say this...I am tired of eating soups and I know that I can begin to experiment a bit more in this phase, I enjoy all types of fish and ground meats are fine as well (preferably turkey or chicken) I just want to find something that tastes good, has a decent amount of protein and won't kill me to eat. Any help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance!
Thanks!
After I tried these Zucchini Oven Fries, they have become one of my favorite things to make. I don't remember where/who gave me this recipe or I'd give them credit here. They are delicious!
Ingredients:
Zucchini
Egg or Egg Substitute (as much as you'll need to cover the zucchini)
Seasoned breadcrumbs
Cooking spray
Directions:
1. Slice zucchini into 3 inch x 1/2 inch sticks
2. Dip each stick into beaten egg (or egg substitute)
3. Shake in a bag of the seasoned breadcrumbs until lightly coated
4. Place each one on a baking sheet, spritz with cooking spray
5. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes, turning zucchini fries after 15 minutes
