I am having surgery in two weeks and was curious to know if we were able to eat any foods cooked in an air fryer.

I know that with this RNY I will be unable to eat anything fried, but wondered if there was a major difference in the way food was cooked in this since it uses 99% less oil.

Thanks so much for your help.

I believe in using anything that keeps the calories down and lets you enjoy your food. If you get the air fryer let us know how you like the food.

Yes please do. I just recently seen one in a magazine. I am very curious. Do they need added oil? Keep us posted.

Isnt it just an electric convection oven?

I have one I just spray PAM on my food. Air frying is not cooking in grease you just don't need to add white flour. I cook my potatoes and everything with my air cooker

TREAT PPL WITH RESPECT

Hummm, Very interesting!!!! Yes let us know how it turns out!

After thinking more about it, my fear is that it could possibly lead to unhealthy eating habits, and that's the last thing I want. I was just curious about what you guys thought.

That is interesting, keep us updated to see what it tastes. And if it is good I might get one but not now for sure , still 5 days post sleeve surgery , I need couple of weeks ahead

I don't have one but was considering getting one. I didn't know if anyone else had one and used it. Or if it was something we should avoid.

I haven't had surgery yet, but my aunt had RNY 11 years ago and she introduced me to the Air-Fryer. She uses it so often she bought 2. I ended up buying one, my mom bought one, and my other aunt who is just a few months post RNY also bought one. I think they are great. If I use any oil on my food at all I just spritz it a bit, nothing more. Veggies turnout great. So far chicken is my favorite...crispy on the outside, but moist on the inside. I just put it in a zip lock back with some seasoning, shake it up and cook in the air fryer. No oil added.

I bought mine from Bed Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon.

Just tried it last night. Cooked a thin sliced chicken cutlet with a spray of Pam. It came out cooked and soft. . I had a RNY in sept

My wife and I just bought one today. Cooked some chicken in it tonight. WOW! Was it great.

Hmm. I need to look into this air fryer. I've been baking, grilling, or crock potting everything.

Yes. Yes you do.

For anyone considering getting an air fryer, I'd say it'll be a healthy choice. We all know how saturated fats and trans fat can be detrimental to our health. By limiting our intake of saturated fat to recommended amounts, we can significantly reduce our risk to chronic diseases. Air fryers cook food differently. Instead of using hot oil they make use of hot air circulating around the food to crisp the outside and cook the inside. The lack of oil makes air fryers extremely healthy compared to traditional fryers while maintaining great taste and perfect temperatures.
