Just to add about the psyllium. We aren't to take it with the glass of water as the directions say. The best way I found was to mix a dose in with a little bit of applesauce. 

After my surgery the surgeon scheduled out the use of both Imodium and Metamucil (psyllium.)

I'd spread out the Imodium doses to 3 times a day. I think you can also take up to 7 per day. More than 7 won't kill you but it won't provide you with more benefits.

I know it's difficult to maintain weight after the surgeries.  There are a lot of good suggestions above.  I like the egg one. (I'd eat ice cream but your j-pouch might not like the sugar and I don't recall it causing problems for me.)  I also was told to eat marshmallows and they are likely pure sugar.
