Need help with Stage 2 foods



Recommended Posts

I am starting the stage 2 diet today (mushy). I wanted to know what types of fish that I am allowed to eat? Is Salmon one of them?

Also can someone give me an idea of the types of things to put on my shopping list for stage 2. I do have my list from the doctor but it's not really specific on the types of things that you can eat and it has only a few examples of menus.

Thanks for your advice.

Really, almost any fish should be fine. I eat a fair amount of salmon and have from the day I was told I could have fish. Also, we like flounder and tilapia at my house.

I am in week 5, and am enjoying getting back to "regular" food. One of my favorites was cooked vegetables, like 1/2 cup Broccoli or peas, 1-2 oz of tuna (or other canned fish/chicken/meat/tofu), and about 1 tbls light mayo (salt and pepper to taste). Quick and easy microwave dish at work. You can Google Tuna and Broccoli recipes and make a decent baked dish as well. Although I normally like "crisp" vegi's, during the mushy stage I cooked them down, diced them very small, and the resulting mixture after the microwave, was very soft indeed.

The only fish the wife will buy for me is Tilapia, granted its the only fish she likes so I guess thats what I'm stuck with.

I would also add any Soup you like and just blend the crap out of it.

I also have a fondess for Applesauce.

This week, still week 3, I'm just started Lunchables.

As I currently eat it, seems to be going down good so far.

Thank you so much for your ideas. I did pick up a few things yesterday. Last night I had broiled flounder which tasted so good since I haven't had any real food for a month now.

My doc said, whatever my family eats, just blend it and make it a little more sloppier which I did, saved me heaps because I didn't have to go buy just for me, but in saying that I had alot of mashed pumpkin with gravy - Also one word of advice - Don't blend chicken, it tastes chalky lol

Turkey burger patties. Jennie-O 93/7 fat. Fry your patty in a pan. Use Pam cooking spray on the pan first. These burgers are very soft. and boil the heck out of some veggies, green Beans.. cauliflower..broccoli..whatever you like! make it super soft. Melt some mozz cheese on the patty.. Good Protein--low calorie meal.

PS: Isn't my dog the cutest!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
