Can we use an air fryer?

I am having surgery in two weeks and was curious to know if we were able to eat any foods cooked in an air fryer.

I know that with this RNY I will be unable to eat anything fried, but wondered if there was a major difference in the way food was cooked in this since it uses 99% less oil.

Thanks so much for your help.

For anyone considering getting an air fryer, I'd say it'll be a healthy choice. We all know how saturated fats and trans fat can be detrimental to our health. By limiting our intake of saturated fat to recommended amounts, we can significantly reduce our risk to chronic diseases. Air fryers cook food differently. Instead of using hot oil they make use of hot air circulating around the food to crisp the outside and cook the inside. The lack of oil makes air fryers extremely healthy compared to traditional fryers while maintaining great taste and perfect temperatures. Visit some air fryer guide online for best brands and best features before hitting the order button. :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
