I had gastric sleeve surgery 12/26 and am doing great (53 pounds total lost; 36 since surgery. My question is this: I am trying to find variety by using allowed foods, herbs, spices to create new dishes or re-create old ones. My daughter is having the sleeve 3/13 and her surgeon has told her she should not try to have variety in food after the surgery--ever. She should eat the same meals every day, mostly fish & chicken, even for breakfast. I just am wondering if anyone else has been told that and if so, how do you follow that strictly for the rest of your life. I am so enjoying variety in my foods but still eating what I am allowed in 4-5 oz portions.
