Shopping list

[GossipGirlxoxo 10]

Can anyone give a ex. Of there shopping list right after they have surgery ? And any other phases? ????

For the liquid phase:

-Protein powder of your choice (I like Body Fortress).

-ready-to-drink Protein shakes (optional, but useful. I like Premier Protein and Met RX RTD 51).

-low sodium broth, whatever flavors you like.

-cream Soups (which you can make with low fat milk and strain any pieces out of. I got powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein Powder and would put a scoop of it in my milky cream of chicken Soup for a Protein packed, soothing drink).

-some people like crystal light powders or similar products. But I hate them because I hate the taste of sugar Water. But there are a lot of sugar free options that might work well for you if you do like them.

-sugar-free popsicles.

For the puree phase:

-canned chicken (it's softer than cooked chicken and easier to puree, I found. I like the chicken from Trader Joe's. Sooo good).

-cottage cheese (I ate a lot of this because it's easy on the stomach and has a lot of protein in it. I'm in the soft foods stage now and I still eat cottage cheese daily. If you can find a low fat option, that would be very useful to you. It tastes MUCH better pureed, if you're one of those people who hate the consistency of it, like I am).

-canned or from a pouch - tuna, salmon.

-sugar free or low sugar applesauce (you can toss a scoop of Protein Powder in it).

-sugar-free fat-free pudding (Jello makes a TON of sugar-free fat-free options. I would often make mine with a Protein shake instead of milk AND put a scoop of protein powder in it and eat it in little tiny bites throughout the day when I had a hard time eating anything more than a bite at a time, and that will most likely be a feeling you will have as well).

-part skim mozzarella (purees really well, surprisingly, and has a really good amount of protein even for just like 2 ounces. easy to throw into your meals in small amounts for a lot of added protein).

-yogurt.

For solid (but soft) food phase:

-eggs.

-soft, low fat cheese (mozzarella sticks work well for me).

-chicken/turkey cooked in a crock pot so it is VERY soft (eat these really slowly. some people find they can't tolerate meat unless it's pureed).

-more cottage cheese.

-any fish or seafood.

-tofu (if you have insulin resistance or PCOS - DO NOT EAT THIS as soy is terrible for women with these problems).

-Beans (cooked well).

-part skim ricotta.

-oatmeal (cooked very soft with low fat or skim milk. Watch the sugar content if you buy flavored oatmeal. I like the Quaker Oats Weight Control Oatmeal because it's low fat and low sugar but has a higher protein content).

-cream of rice or cream of wheat.

-veggies (here's something that is on my food list from my surgeon, but I honestly can't get in all the protein I need yet and don't have room for veggies yet. But if you can fit them in, try to. Stay away from raw, fibrous veggies, seeds, and skins. Try for cooked fresh veggies that are very soft or canned veggies).

-fruits (similar to veggies here for me. Just no room for them. But if you can, try for ripe, soft fruit. Stay away from skins, seeds. Also avoid citrus fruits because they can irritate your stomach lining, grapes, and berries because they are way too high in sugar content).

Hope this helps.
