The following gastric bypass sample diets can help with your meal planning following weight loss surgery: Breakfast: It is essential to eat a high-protein diet following gastric bypass surgery and breakfast is a great place to start. Eggs, peanut butter and low-fat yogurt all contain some protein and can help get you off to a good start in the morning. Try rotating some of the following ideas throughout your week. Egg white omelet with low-fat cheddar and salsa Whole wheat English muffin with natural peanut butter Low-fat plain yogurt with blueberries and sliced almonds Scrambled egg whites and diced tomatoes with turkey bacon Egg white omelet with spinach and low-fat Swiss cheese Lunch: Getting proper nutrition is important following gastric bypass surgery as your body is less able to absorb nutrients from your food. By making healthy choices and taking your vitamin supplements you can help maintain your health. Try some of the following ideas for quick and healthy lunches: Hummus with vegetables and whole wheat pita bread Tuna mixed with fat-free mayonnaise, on wheat crackers or hearty wheat bread Grilled vegetable and low-fat cream cheese wrap in a wheat tortilla Pasta salad with smoked turkey cubes, vegetables and a low-fat vinaigrette Natural peanut butter, banana sandwich on whole wheat bread Dinner: Your portions will be small after gastric bypass surgery, so consider setting aside a portion of your dinner for lunch tomorrow. A little left over grilled fish, chicken or vegetables can be turned into a tasty wrap or salad topping tomorrow. Grilled salmon and asparagus spears with a squeeze of lemon Teriyaki grilled chicken with sautéed vegetables and brown rice Grilled vegetable pizza on whole wheat crust with low-fat mozzarella Turkey chili topped baked-potatoes Shrimp and tomato sauce on whole-wheat pasta Keeping a food journal, will help organize your gastric bypass sample diets and make planning and shopping for food easier.
