I am struggling to find a Week long menu plan broke down meal to meal for all stages of post-op Gastric Bypass. I am going to sound lazy but do eliminate any error on my part, I would like to find a source that will provide a pre-determined menu that I can look at, shop for, and follow.

Why not ask your NUT? I know my program materials provide sample menus but your NUT should be able to help you develop something based on your preferences as well as teach you how to develop your own.

Agree with @@Inner Surfer Girl. That way you are also following the plan your surgeon and nutritionist want you to be on and not a random one that could be the opposite of what they want you to eat. Good luck!!

I was going to recommend the same thing as @InnerSurferGirl and @ShrinkingPeach. Always follow the plan outlined by your surgeon and NUT. Different surgeons and NUTs don't always use the same guidelines, although they are usually fairly close. Your surgeon and NUT know YOU and can help guide you with any issues that crop up. You will find valuable support, encouragement, and a variety of information on this site, but always defer to your surgeon and NUT.

This was my shopping list for Post of Puree and soft diet. Given to my by my NUT.

skim milk

Any calorie free liquid 10 cal or less/8 ounces

SF popsicles

SF Gelatin

Protein supplements

Low sodium broth

blender or food processor

egg substitute

fat free greek yogurt

soft tofu

SF pudding

nonfat, 1% or 2% cottage cheese

fish (funa, crab meat,sole, flounder)

chicken breat

extra lean turkey, beef, pork, or chicken (choose 93/7)

fat free ricotta cheese

fat free refried Beans

unsweetened applesauce

cream of wheat

Hope this helps.

I know that you all say to ask your nut, but I was given a very limited amount of info from mine. I even asked if there was anything else she could give me. I have found most of my info on this site and greatly appreciate it. I found for the puree stage that refried Beans watered down were my favorite. Also avocados and sweet potatoes with powdered Protein and plain greek yogurt mixed in. Haven't wanted to puree meats yet.

I agree, Padremama. My nutritionist gave me poor nutritional info. She actually advised eating converted brown rice. Why bother? There were other recommendations that were off mark as well. She was promoting a certain brand of Protein powder & Vitamins big time. Wonder if the office gets a kick back?

I'm an RN as well as a personal chef, so although I'm no expert, I do know a little and I've been able to research what's right for me on my own.
