Hey everyone! My name is Amy and I'm 13 days post op, had RNY gastric bypass surgery 4/26/17. (with added bonus- hiatal hernia repair) I'm a single mother of four children currently living in Virginia, originally from So Cal. I am 1 year vegan for the animals and am having an interesting time figuring out pre op and post op nutrition options for myself. Just looking to make friends (I swear I'm not judgy lol) I don't know anyone else personally who has had any procedure like mine.

Hello everyone!! Originally from Southern California but now I live in Richmond, Virginia!

Just become a label reader. Processed and GMOs are the kinds of carbs you might be fearful of. Dave's Killer Bread is a great brand I recommend it (in moderation). As far as grains: old fashioned oats, brown rice, quinoa, barley & millet. I recommend organic if you can afford it, but store brand is just as helpful. There are lots of great pasta options! I've seen red lentil pasta, brown rice noodles, and things like that. Watch the calories from fat and sodium levels. Trial and error. Don't be scared!

Broccoli & black beans off the top of my head, lots of fiber and can be steamed/cooked soft enough for early diet phases. Good luck!

I love that show LOL *guilty pleasure*
