What can I eat...three week after surgery

[Toyia 2]

Hi All,

I had my sleeve three weeks ago. My doctor gave me a new list of foods that I can include in my diet – eggs, tofu, fish (baked, broiled), sea food (no shrimp or crab cakes) and soft cheeses. (I am glad that I don’t have to put my food in a blender.) He said that I need to get in 70 grams of Protein and 30 grams or less of carbohydrates. What carbohydrates can I eat? Does this mean that I can have veggies or fruit or mashed potatoes? Can some veteran sleevers please share some of their meal ideas and recipes with me?

Thanks in advance,

Toyia

My favorites during the mushy stage were scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, egg salad (w/mustard, mayo, parsley or dll), non-fat refried Beans with melted cheddar on top. Mashed potaoes and very soft cooked noodles are okay at this stage too. Applesauce was my go to fruit at this point.

Thank you very much...

Can you eat cottage cheese with fruit or do you have to eat it alone. I didn't know I could have refried Beans or noodles...

Thanks for the tips.

I would eat the cottage cheese alone at first,,,just to make sure you fit in your Protein first. Eat the fruit separately. Then in a few days or weeks, when you can eat closer to a half a cup, mix it together.

Hi

I am also three weeks post surgery. I have found for dinner a one egg omlette is tasty. I saute a little fresh spinach in a little bit of oil. Puree it and then add it to the egg. cook the omlette and then add a piece of fat free cheese to the top, salt and pepper. I am able to eat about a 3/4 of it. Make sure you eat slowly, takes me about 1/2 hour to eat.
