I'm only 9 months out, but I was on a vitamin regimen before surgery. I had severely low Vit. D. and low B12, so have taken those supplements, plus a multi and calcium for years before surgery. Also, took a probiotic and glucosamine pre-surgery as well.
My post-op routine wasn't much different. At the beginning I took the multi twice a day, but after my 3 month appointment, I was told to stop because some of my levels were getting too high.
I figure I would have been stuck with this anyone even without surgery due to my own body's chemistry, so I just buy the big bottles at Costco and fill my little daily pill thingy every Saturday!

For me I just do one thing when collect the vegetables from grocery shop. I just clean them well before preparing for cooking. So that I can get protein from it.

But as far as I know tomatoo can help to remove fat. Though it's acidic I know.
I found thousands of bariatric recipes on Pinterest. It took me to bariatric blogs I never saw mentioned here or elsewhere, gave me ideas of an entire day's menu or week long menus, as well as planning menus that would work for the rest of my family (husband and daughters 14 and 17 who are not bariatric patients) but still be edible by me and not make me feel left out.
I don't post recipes or meal ideas here. I pin them to my post-surgery board in Pinterest.
It was a tool which was very useful for me in my early days.

Pinterest is your friend. There are low carb ideas, insta-pot ideas, meal planning ideas. Get yourself an account and set up some boards, then you can start making lists.
I plan my proteins for the week over the weekend with how I'm going to prepare them for myself and my family. Then I'm not coming home at 6 trying to figure out what the heck to do with the pork chops.
For snacks, I tend to stick with the Sargento Balanced Bites (chesse and nuts, prepackaged), almonds, yogurt, raw veggies with hummus. Sometimes popcorn as a treat.
Best of luck!
I don't think he should go to the Pinterest for this ideas. Rather if he search well here he might get the best solution, isn't it?

I appreciate your efforts here. But I think you should do it slowly and take your time. This will be the best for you. Good luck!
I plan to always take vitamins and supplements. My surgery center has that as a lifelong commitment for having vsg surgery.

I'd recommend asking. Some programs think tomatoes are too acidic. (I did tomato soup on liquids with no problem.)
