I feel like I have done my homework, but I am unable to find a list of foods that are recommended, and those that are "no-no's". Can anyone give advice?

Many Thanks

Barb......if you'll go to

bariatriceating.com

and click on 'what to eat'....there you will see suggested foods for every stage of your post wls life. Wonderful resource. Wonderful website.

The only foods you should really avoid are bread, Pasta, rice (they do tend to get stuck...and are empty calories for the most part), and sugar obviously. Alcohol because it, too, is high in calories. Carbonated drinks because the bubbles can be a problem. Caffeine because it stimulates hunger...but lots of people still drink coffee and tea anyway!!

Other than that you can and should eat healthy foods that you enjoy. Everything you put into your mouth should have good nutritional vaue. You are eating so little, you have to make it count!
