Consider adding soy and nonfat dairy into your diet as meat alternatives for healthier diet options.
When baking, replace some of the fat with applesauce, pureed prunes(small jars of baby food work well), or nonfat yogurt.
The focus of this plan is fruits and vegetables as well as low fat or nonfat dairy, whole grains and lean meats.
Buy store brands of canned or frozen vegetables, pasta, canned tomatoes, pasta sauces, nonfat dairy products and whole grain cereals.
The bariatric clinic may recommend that patients add nonfat dry milk to foods and beverages to ensure they get enough protein.
