Recipes

Is there a forum that has recipes for gastric bypass patients?  Can some of you share your secrets for getting all your proteins in right after surgery?

THANKS!!

OH has a recipe forum but I'm not sure how to get there since everythinbg was changed around recently. Try going to forums up on the top of the page and poke around. Also one of the members has a great bunch of recipes on theworldaccordingtoeggface. Bariatric eating also has lots of recipes. Bon appetite!

Hi Kara! I use a few sites, one is right here on OH at the recipe forum

The other is Eggface's blog....

As for protein right after surgery, it's hard at first.  I didn't like much of anything protein shake wise after surgery, even though I liked them prior to surgery.  Sometimes it just takes a lot of trial and error (thank goodness for protein sample sizes) and adding protein to things like oatmeal or even sugar free pudding.  Even at my starbucks stop I have them add the protein to that, even though it's not a lot.  Every little bit helps.

Just remember that those #'s are a goal that you will need to work toward.  Almost no one is able to get everything in right away.  The first few days the most important thing is your fluids.

Good luck!!
