Proper planning of your gastric bypass menu will be important to a successful recovery from surgery. Your meals should be deliberate and planned from the day you come home from the hospital for the rest of your life if you want to achieve the best outcomes from gastric bypass surgery. Since appropriate meals will be provided at the medical facility until your release, understanding what you need to have for your home-care menu is important.
  
After release from the hospital you will begin a blended or pureed diet, also relying heavily on clear liquids. When planning your menu post-surgically, having many low-fat, high protein foods on hand will help. By setting out a menu of options in advance, you will not be faced with food choices, but with good nutrient rich items as medically directed. The blended diet leads into a transitional soft food diet for approximately two to three months. Initially, you may be eating up to six small meals each day, consisting of 2 to 4 tablespoons of food per meal. Planning a balanced diet is important to obtaining a healthy body. High protein is recommended, and should be eaten first. Some menu ideas for breakfast would be a scrambled egg white followed a few hours later with a small amount of smooth fruited yogurt. Around lunch some soft cooked meats like steamed fish or even canned tuna with a bite or so of unsweetened applesauce could balance out your menu. Dinner time can be fulfilled with a soft cooked vegetable, like sweet potatoes. Your life-long maintenance diet will should eventually include many more food choices, but planning your gastric bypass menu will still be important. Because you may never be able to eat more than one cup of food at a meal, it is important to eat nutritionally beneficial foods. Your meal sizes will always be quite small, but a variety of foods can be enjoyed.
