nu2ywg 4 Posted May 12, 2011 I eat a lot of the same stuff I used to...I cook for my family and skip the high carb side whether it be potato, rice or Pasta. So I have pork, chicken, fish, sometimes beef, whatever vegetable I'm serving and sometimes salad. If spaghetti is the main course I will usually have something different, maybe leftovers from another meal. I think there are some recipe websites for bariatric cooking but you have to be careful not to get food that's too mushy. Good luck! Oh, and by the way, my nutritionist actually said to me once that the people who seem to have the most success are the ones with routines both in activity AND food (ie they eat a lot of the same stuff most of the time). Just an fyi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papoose 48 Posted May 12, 2011 You should check with your nutrionist at your Dr's office. All the Dr's office are so different. After a month I was told to eat what every I wanted to eat. Just start with your 4 oz. of Protein and some vegetables. I am 7 months out and I still eat a lot of chicken, eggs, oatmeal, tuna fish, chicken salad. I have a hard time eating beef ( i can eat meatballs or meatloaf). You just have to experiment with different foods and see if you can tolerate it. My Dr. told me from the beginning no Pasta, no rice and only toasted bread. The other day I had macaroni & cheese it went down real easy. But I do try and do a low carb diet. Good luck.
