?? about diet after ryn

I was wondering what my diet will be like after i have my ryn an am out of the liquid and soft stage. I know sweets are out but besides protien what things will i be eating. Id like to know what is some of the things people eat in a day. Thanks loretta

 I eat everything ...  but very low fat at home or fatfree  ideally ....  very little sugar .  Lots of whole grains, fresh vegetables and fresh fruit .   

Fatfree  dairy only .  

Lots of lowfat vegan soy and almond  products like tofu and almond milk almost fatfree cheese....  beans of  many kinds,  rice ... dreamfileds pasta ... 

I feel great going on three years post ....  have had a bit of regain  from my very lowest weight but nothing i can't live with .  I'm sure if I stopped grazing and  started  running again  it would drop off ... 

Check out this link to the "what are you eating thread" on my regional board.

Over on the RNY board are daily threads like this:

I think that you'd find threads like this ones on many of the surgery-specific boards.  Which you might want to peruse to see what life may be like after some of the other surgeries, too.

Just a suggestion.

I also eat anything I want. If I want a cookie, I eat one cookie. If I want cake, I eat a bite or two. I know that I will get sick if I eat more. I am eight years post op and still follow these rules. Just remember to get your protein in first.

I eat most everything, but tend to be careful about foods with higher fat content because it usually sits quite heavily on my stomach (or facsimile thereof). I eat steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, along with protein coffee or hot chocolate. Today I had a salad with hard boiled egg and LF dressing. Tonight I will have stewed tomato with okra, Morningstar Farm veggie crumbles, and grated cheese. I also eat lots of Greek yogurt. It just depends on your tastes and preferences.

I'm 27 months out and eat almost anything.  But it's really small portions.  If I have something llike ice cream (which I don't keep in the house because of temptation),  I'll get a child size.  Any sugar like cake, 1/4 to 1/3 of  serving,  cookies -it's 2 small ones.  As far as sugar/ fat,  it's a bare minimun.  That kind of stuff is a treat now.  Basicly, It's protein, vegies, fruit, and complex carb.

The only foods I avoid are sugar and refined carbs.  I am also gluten free.  Other then that I eat what I want.  I have found plenty of sugar free, gluten free alternatives for goodies when I want them.  I do focus on protein, getting in an average of 150 grams a day and I drink a lot of fluids, at least 100 oz a day but most days around a gallon.
I don't really graze and I try not to eat impulsively but instead to plan out my meals and snacks and stick to that plan.
For example, here is what I am having today.
Breakfast was a protein decaf because I had an appointment early and didn't have time to fix my usual breakfast of oatmeal with butter and milk and a banana.
For lunch I usually have a ricotta bake, which is like the insides of lasagna.  I make it with ricotta, sugar free spaghetti sauce and moz cheese and some gluten free crackers with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese.
Dinner tonight is either a taco casserole on a tostado with sour cream or italian sausge spaghetti sauce on gluten free spaghetti with cheese on top.
For snacks I usually have a sugar free fudgecicle or pudding, a protein hot cocoa, popcorn, a protein bar and some protein almond cookies I make.

I was just wondering because since i had alex sweets are not a part of my tastes. I use to be a candy bar a day girl and now any thing sweet tasting I just dont want. trying to figure out how im going to deal with the protien shakes every day. I havnt tried any yet but i have tried the shots and wow are they ever sweet. even mixed it with 32 oz of water and still strong. I will check out the other sights to

I solve that problem by using whey protein isolate unflavored.  You can mix it with soup, beans, cottage cheese, etc.  I even mixed it with tomato sauce in a recipe I was making to increase the protein.  Eggs, too.  I just mix it with a little water or other liquid, just to make it smooth, and then mix it into whatever I can.  Protein doesn't have to be sweet.
