Patient Information from Rudolf Weiner, MD
Diet and Nutrition 

Recommended food:
Use this section to help you plan what you eat. You may choose what you would like from each of the these food groups each day:

  • Fruit and vegetables
    • 2 to 3 servings of fresh vegetables daily
    • 1 to 2 servings of fresh fruit daily
  • Bread and cereals (If you want, you can spread just a little margarine or butter on the bread)
    • 1 small portion of corn flakes for breakfast
    • 1 to 2 slices of whole wheat or rye bread each day 
  • Meat, fish, poultry, eggs (Remove all visible fat from the meat, remove the skin from poultry. Prepare the meat in ways that need very little fat. Grilling, steaming, microwaving, or boiling are all good ways to do that.)
    • 1 oz. to 2 oz. of meat, fish, or poultry or one egg each day
  • Dairy products
    • Choose a maximum of 2 cups of skimmed milk or low-fat yoghurt and 1 oz. of cheese a day.
  • Fats
    • Restrict the use of fat to 3 to 4 teaspoons of margarine, butter, or oil per day. You can have low-fat salad dressings and mayonnaise in moderation.
  • Drinks (Drink as many calorie-free liquids per day as you wish.)
    • tea or coffee
    • non-carbonated beverages containing few or no calories
    • clear soup

Some doctors have reported that carbonated beverages may contribute to enlargement of the small pouch and should be avoided.
