Bariatric patients are tasked with making a number of changes to their lives as part of their weight loss goals. Far from the popular perception of the surgery as the cure or even the treatment, it really is a tool to help driven individuals realize their goals of weight loss. Even after the surgery, bariatric patients will have to make lifestyle changes and alter their diets, both in the short term and for the rest of their lives.
It’s not only about reducing portion sizes, either – it’s also about the types of foods you can eat after bariatric surgery like a gastric sleeve procedure. Lucky for anyone reading this to whom it applies, setting your mind on weight loss does not need to mean turning your mind away from flavor and satisfaction. Some of the recipes and meals for gastric sleeve patients that you’ll easily find online at Bariatric Eating (BariatricEating.com) are full of the ingredients listed below, satisfying in their own right but jazzed up to make them more enjoyable.
After you have passed the liquid, pureed food, and soft food phases of your post-op diet and are beginning the initial stages of your adaptive diet, you’ll still need to pay close attention to your portion sizing and the ingredients you use in cooking your meals. Some of the recipes available at Bariatric Eating hinge on the ingredients below.
- Ground beef, chicken, and turkey, which are the staples of many of their recipes and add flavor and filling satisfaction.
- A variety of delicious fish, including salmon, tuna, and shrimp.
- Soft, deliciously rich, and flavorful cheeses like brie, bleu cheese, and ricotta cheese.
- Plenty of fruits and vegetables that are bursting with flavor, like apples, tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers – even avocado.
- Seasonal favorites like whoopie pies, pumpkin rolls, and pumpkin bread, all of which recipes have been crafted with the needs of bariatric patients in mind.
