Variety in food after surgery

OMG, having the same thing day in day out sounds awful AND a way for the weight to come back due to deprivation. I would totally ignore that piece of advice. Variety is the spice of life, even after WLS.

That sounds terrible. I was never told anything like that. I was told to try and get my protein from a variety of sources. If you search "forest park gastric sleeve" the first link goes to an manuel put out by the Forest Park Medical Center. This hospital mostly deals with bariatric surgeries. It helped me, hopefully it can help you guys.

I have something new every night. When I told my NUT what all I was cooking she said they were excellent choices, so I think ignore that info. I personally couldn't eat the same thing every day.

I do like the simplicity of eating the same thing but would hate to be told that I had to eat the same thing for every meal. I never could eat fish for breakfast! This should be a tool for long term success and I don't think you could b successful if you had to eat the same thing for every meal.

I agree with everyone else. This is awful advice. My surgeon would laugh at this. I am always looking for something new to cook and try. This is how I feel like I am eating like a normal person. And there are lots of good recipes on the recipe forum.

I'm with you, sounds like no fun. But studies show those who have a routine for eating have less weight problems that those who use make what sounds good for dinner. Food-ertainment it's been dubbed.

My NUT says that variety is GREAT as long as it follows the requirements of the 2 P's: 1. Protein 2. Produce If there is any room left after, fruit. Keep carbs LOW. That's what I've been told. I think I will probably eat the same breakfast every morning (or drink). I like protein shakes. I am going to find variety for breakfast and supper, but will probably keep very routing for breakfast and snacks.
