Beef Jerky (Jack Links makes a very low fat beef jerky)
Starkist single serving pouches of flavored or unflavored tuna. Low cal, relatively low carb and low fat. Go for Parm crackers or whole grain tortillas if you need an accompaniment.
Yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero is my favorite - coffee)
Egg beaters is also easy to cook in a microwave. 2 Tbsp of egg beaters takes about 30 seconds. Add salsa for a nice tasty addition.

My doc put me on soft foods. If it can be smashed with a fork I can eat it. I have egg and cheese for breakfast usually. For lunch I have chicken salad on Parmesan cracker and Greek yogurt that I make with my instantpot. Dinner has been turkey and cottage cheese or more chicken salad. I add protein powder whenever I can. I can't drink protein shakes they make me gag. I am four weeks post op as of tomorrow. I will be starting regular food next week.

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I have been told by several people that the "diet" my doctor put me on is crap!!! what were you eating starting on day 21 post op??? I have gone through several menus, and I do not want to push myself to much!!
