After weight loss surgery, your diet is completely different. No matter what type of bariatric surgery you have, your stomach and the way you digest food has changed. Since your anatomy has changed, you must make changes with the foods you eat. You have just had surgery and your stomach needs time to heal. Due to this, your surgeon will put you on a specific post-op diet to gradually put foods back into your diet. It is crucial that you follow this diet so you don’t get sick or hurt yourself. Eating foods too soon can damage your new stomach.

I've been on a cooking spree lately (frozen protein drops, anyone?). And the funny thing about this is that it's not typical "me". One might argue this is a positive. Because typical "me" would pick up takeout on the way home, and eat out probably 80% of the time (be that eating while traveling internationally for work, the various "lunch meetings" that happen when I'm working in the office, or a whole host of work dinners). So, anyway, I'm taking this as a positive thing. Like many, I'm a fan of The World According to Eggface. She's got some phenomenal food ideas. I'm a little more used to recipes that have no more than three or four ingredients, so I'm starting out slowly! Even more exciting, I'm learning to take the basis and make things my own - like in the case of my buffalo chicken bites this weekend. Even though I have a freezer full of bites, and more food than I can possibly eat this week, I'm indulging this side of me who wants to experiment with tasty food that meets my nutritional goals. I've been eyeing the Baked Ricotta recipe from theworldaccordingtoeggface.com for some time. I finally decided my sleeve was ready to try it. And it met my less-than-stellar cooking needs of having a limited number of ingredients. It also seemed time to put my new mini-loaf pan to the test. So, off I went! The verdict? It was easy and yummy. Two key food qualities I look for in something I'm cooking myself. I tried freezing a couple, just to see how they'd do. I haven't tried them yet, but I'll let you know. The day after I made them I was craving pizza, and so I decided to re-heat one in the oven with some low-fat turkey pepperoni I found at the grocery store, and a little more mozzerrella on top. I followed the recipe from Eggface pretty much to the tee, other than using the mini-loaf pan (loving how it portions it out for me) and adding the turkey pepperoni when I had a bit of a craving. I loaded the ingredients into My Fitness Pal and it gave me perfect nutritional requirements to use by loaf. Try it! Trust me, you can do it. Later, gastricsleeve4me Ricotta mix in the pan (Italian seasoning was key!) Put the sauce on top! Mmmmm...fresh out of the oven Ready for eatin' Time for leftovers! Add a little turkey pepperoni and cheese and voila! My Fitness Pal nutritional facts with my ingredients

If you've recently had weight loss surgery you are experiencing a major physical change. Not only does your body look different from the outside, but it acts differently on the inside as well. Due to the changes that have been made to the digestive system, weight loss surgery patients are at a risk for challenges with absorbing specific nutrients, including calcium. In addition to building our bones and keeping them heathy, Calcium also plays a key role in weight regulation and can give you a weight loss edge! A good Calcium supplement after weight loss should contain: Low or no sugar Calcium Citrate for the best absorption Vitamin D Here are few more reasons why Calcium consumption after WLS is so important. Your Body No Longer Absorbs Nutrients As Easily When you undergo weight loss surgery, there are changes made to your digestive systems that effect your ability to absorb certain nutrients. Bariatric surgery patients and other WLS patients are at particular risk for challenges with specific absorption, particularly calcium and vitamin D. Massive Weight Loss Effects Your Bone Density Bariatric and other weight loss surgeries may increase bone turnover and loss of bone mass in patients. This is partly due to massive change in weight alone. Because of this fact, Calcium is vital for WLS patients, as they have a high risk for long-term challenges with bone health.
