What is your favorite thing to eat after gastric bypass?

Hang in there! And you will be amazed how tasty Cream of chicken soup will taste!

 

Grilled salmon with onion and dill and lemon juice/or slices.  Baked asparagus. Orange/pineapple chutney with cranberry-raisins and pecans.

Pork stir fry.  With almonds, veggies.

Egg tortilla with mushrooms, green onions, and mushrooms with cheese.

Tuna (albacore) salad.

Slow roasted chuck roast with fat removed, baby carrots, onions, mushrooms, thyme, garlic, red wine, beef broth.

 Your (or I) can eat almost everything but you need to use fresh ingredients as much as possible, remove the fat from meats, season well, buy sugar free,  limit bread, rice, pasta, and eat small portions.

  In addition to fresh herbs I use curry, ginger, turmeric, lime or lemon juice.  

You can substitute yogurt for whipped cream or cool whip...add fat free cream cheese and vanilla or other flavor...delicious.  

It is not about quantity, it is about taste.  well flavored foods do not get boring.

I love meatloaf. I actually scoop out the seeds from a yellow squash & mound the meatloaf mixture in the space & bake as I would any meatloaf (I don't use times or recipes..,just check for doneness). Don't forget to salt the squash or it tastes yucky

I had about 20 'favorite' foods before surgery and I am sure I will have many now, but my #1 is cottage cheese right now. I just love it! I always have. Tomorrow I am going to try another pre-surgery favorite, Cream of Wheat and see what happens!

Last week I made lasagna using thinly sliced zucchini instead of lasagna noodles.  I made it with beef, but you could use ground turkey too.

I love a chipotle chicken and bean bowl.

Right now I'm experimenting with using crepes (50 cals, no sugar, low carb, and can be made with added protein) as a vehicle for sweet (fruit and yogurt) or savory (cheese and mushrooms or other veggies)

I'm only 4 weeks out, but so far the best thing I've put in my mouth was the chicken I cooked yesterday.

Early in the morning I simply put a boneless, skinless chicken breast in a small slow cooker and topped it with a generous helping of the lowest carb spaghetti sauce I could find.  The chicken was so tender I didn't have to puree it.  Come Tuesday I won't have to worry about the pureed foods part and I'm looking forward to more variety.

 

I am 6 weeks out today and my favorite thing that I can tolerate (not much) is 3 slices of turkey bacon.

It was a scrambled egg but now those make me sick.

Just discovered this one: Eggplant Lasagna!

I didn't think I liked eggplant that much- but this is AWESOME! And it doesn't have any meat- and I don't miss it in this dish.

 

I am going to look up all these recipes-thanks so much for asking the group to post! I needed this, too.
