Tasty Yes, Unhealthy No! Nutrition After Weight Loss Surgery

No eating, cooking or not even baking is done normally after bariatric surgery, this is what people think, but this is more of an urban myth than a truth, as it is no doubt it is false. What is certain is that you will have to learning to cook new healthy recipes for you and your family, without having to separate courses, as what you will prepare will be very tasty and their families will love it.

It is extremely important to include protein in the new meals, the proteins being needed to maintain your muscle mass and make the body thrive, even if it is about to lose weight. Proteins also help you maintain yourself full for a longer time.

Here I will give you some advice on what foods to change and what are the best options:

One thing to change is the ground beef, and turkey is a healthy alternative - used in meatloaf, meatballs with chili or with vegetables and condiments, no difference will be detected -. In addition, sour cream and mayonnaise could be replaced with Greek yogurt, which is a fat-free alternative.

Talking about sugar, many sugar-free alternatives are on the market today, and many are specifically designed for baking: the half real sugar or half sweetener.

Sugar and oil in desserts could be replaced by unsweetened apple sauce and mashed figs. Also, frozen cauliflower, steamed until tender and mashed with butter substitute with a little milk, salt and pepper would become a great coursel, instead of mashed potatoes, cream cheese onion could be also added.

Chicken breast with soup cans, onions, carrots and potatoes in the crock pot can make a great dinner, which is also full of the proteins we need so much. Small changes are also needed and welcome, but your family needs to support you too, as the changes affect everyone and their support is precious.
