What to eat?

[New Me 31317 25]

I am 7 weeks post op RNY...i am not sure what to eat any more...pretty much only eat yogurt, cottage cheese, lunch meat and chicken...can I have salad yet? What else can I eat? i am anxious about trying any recipes unless I am able to account for everything in there so I can track. Help!

At 7 weeks in our program we are at the point of "try everything and see how it goes". Some people have a hard time with lettuce, others don't. You won't know until you try. If you're really worried, just make sure any new foods you try you are at home and close to a bathroom just in case.

If you use "MyFitnessPal" they have a recipe function that allows you to input ingredients and number of servings to help you track what the recipes are for calories and other nutrients. Lots of recipe sites also post their own nutritional info you can refer to as well. Or you could look into buying a bariatric cookbook for yourself, which would give you lots of post-surgery ideas.

I hear this one is great! https://www.amazon.ca/Weight-Loss-Surgery-Cookbook-Dummies/dp/0470640189
