    What kinds of things are you eating now?

    I love some of the recipes on bariatricfoodie.com or Pinterest has some great ones, as well.

    I'm 1 month out from gastric bypass and my favorite meals are:

    Lemon Pepper Tilapia - 1 Tilapia filet, extra virgin olive oil (lightly covering), then lemon pepper seasoning, and finally finely grated Parmesan cheese (very light) - bake in oven

    Greek Yogurt Chicken - 1 chicken breast, cover with mixture of greek yogurt and dry ranch dressing and then bake in oven (little harder on my pounch, so I have to chew really well)

    Fiesta Chicken - In crockpot place chicken breasts, cover with mild salsa, crockpot for as long as needed and then use a fork to shred chicken

    I do not eat any breads, pastas, etc.

    I survived on Greek yogurt,baybel cheese, and Wendy's Chili, for the most part. Some crock pot dishes might be a smart idea, since they usually come out soft and moist.

    I liked the healthwise protein soups. with a piece of melted cheese, they were very good.

    Premade deli soups added some great variety for me. Added a scoop of musclegen unflavored protein powder helped a ton and really amped up my protein intake.

    Shrimp and soft white fish were also staples during soft food stage. Cottage cheese, smoked salmon. Egg salad. Dannon light and fit Greek yogurts. Baybel light cheese. Hummus. Refried beans.

    I second the refried beans. They were a staple for me during purees/soft mechanical. I used to take plain greek yogurt and flavor it with water enhancement drops so I could make whatever flavor I was in the mood for that day.

    I'm almost 7 months out now and can pretty much eat most things (although I avoid pasta, bread, and rice). One of my favorite meals to make is chicken stir-fried into either broccoli slaw or zucchini noodles, which can be cooked down to whatever consistency you want as far as the "noodles" go. I bought a spiralizer and it has really renewed my creative energy with food - I even made some zoodle pad Thai recently, and it turned out great. The thread "Let's see what you are eating" on page 2 probably has even more ideas - check it out!
