Lemon: As we all know, lemon is one of the richest and most powerful natural antibiotic foods in terms of vitamin C.

At the same time, the flavonoids found in walnuts, which are rich in antioxidant components, also play an important role for the body.
Banana: Banana, which attracts attention with its high nutritional ingredients, is among the most popular fruits due to its soft, pulp and sweetness. 1 serving of banana, which is about 130 grams, contains 110 calories and 30 grams of carbohydrates. It keeps you full for a long time due to its high fiber content. Since it is easy to digest, it is especially recommended for those with stomach problems.

Strained yogurt: Strained yogurt, which is denser than normal yogurt, is a food rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and folic acid.
Honey: Due to its high antioxidant content, it provides resistance to bacteria and viruses that cause disease and strengthens immunity. However, this food, which is high in carbohydrates, should be consumed in a controlled manner in terms of calories. 1 teaspoon of honey is about 30 calories. In rare cases, it can be used instead of refined sugar in desserts. However, since the carcinogenic substance called Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is released when heated and its nutritional value decreases, it should be consumed without heating.
Labne: Labne cheese is a good source of protein, vitamin A, folic acid, calcium, and phosphorus. However, since their oil content is generally high, it is beneficial to choose the light ones.
Protein powder: Due to the decreased stomach volume after bariatric surgery, especially in the first weeks, problems such as sagging due to muscle loss, hair loss, nail breakage, drying of the skin, weakness, fatigue may occur due to lack of adequate protein, vitamin and mineral intake. For this reason, protein powder is recommended to be consumed for an average of 3-6 months.
