Diet after gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

I was looking to get some ideas of meals everyone ate after gastric bypass. I will be having my surgery in a few months and want to start eating exactly how I will be eating after my surgery now. Thanks!

Doesn't your surgeon have a Nutritionist working with him/her? If you have the opportunity to meet with a Bariatric nutritionist, I highly recommend it. Mine required me to attend classes to prepare me for eating right after bypass and then again prior to transitioning to real food. My program is 5 mini meals a day , every 3 - 4 hours, to include low fat Protein, 2 multigrain carbs and 2 fruit servings daily, and healthy fats.

There are a few different blogs out there and I really like the world according to egg face. She is several years out from surgery and has a lot of good ideas.

I think also it will be up to your body. I eat a lot of salads, mostly cesar salads with chicken or salmon cut up on it. I have a friend that had the same surgery, and she can't even eat one piece of lettuce without getting sick. You will find out what works for you and what doesn't. I try to stick to clean eating.

I eat regular, home cooked meals with my family. I just skip the carbs. If we're having spaghetti, I pour sauce over miracle noodles for myself. Roast chicken and mashed potatoes? I just make mashed cauliflower for everyone.

I eat three meals a day, and my family eats the same. I just eat mindfully and eat less.

Whats miracle noodles?


They are shiritaki noodles. They have almost no calories.

They don't taste great on their own, but used as a substitute for rice or Pasta with a strong- flavored sauce they're good. I eat them with spaghetti sauce, curry, bibimbap...basically anywhere the taste is less important than texture.

I like to make zoodles if I'm having pasta! They are very good!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
