Getting healthy food after your gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery is essential to successful weight loss. Let's face it, we wouldn't become overweight if we didn't enjoy our food.
However it is important to learn the basics from scratch and learn to enjoy healthier versions of food, healthier options and to stick to our gastric bypass diet.
I sure hope these recipes help you with your bariatric weight loss journey!

Egetarian recipes would be fantastic. I am 4 months post op RNY and can’t tolerate meat at all.
I will look into this!
I’m 14 weeks post op RNY and I cannot tolerate any meats, eggs, Salmon or tuna. I’ve been eating just some veggies, cheese, fruits and protein Shakes. I’ve noticed I like salty stuff Lately. What’s your food intake?
Yes i was the same at that stage...Once my body was used to solids again I was able to enjoy all meat in moderation.
I am 2 months since I have had the gastric sleeve and I just don't want something to eat. I am not hungry when I do get hungry I will eat but I have to force myself to eat. I have a great support system to help me and remind me to eat but I don't find food appetizing. i am on regular food but i still eat a lot of soups for nothing taste good. i go back to the doctor on Dec 16, 2020 but i am taking my vitiamns and my regular med and I drink my protein shakes but even those I am getting tired of them. i need suggestion on what to eat. I haven't felt this good since i was younger. I am 65 and I am no longer short of breath and knees and back don't hurt.
you are doing great!!!...listen to your body hon, it knows best...I could not tolerate much either and eating was not something I wanted to do...I lost 183 pounds post surgery and have kept it off for 12 years now...going to the dr is a good idea, make sure to share what you shared here...wishing you great success!!!...(I'm 64, we seniors can do this!)
