Gorcery List



Recommended Posts

Hi! So I've been off the band wagon way too long and have decided to get back on..but that means I need some band friendly, healthy foods. I'm an awful grocery shopper...I never end up getting everything I need or end up with stuff I don't need. I was wondering what you all have on your grocery lists? Maybe you could help me make one? Lol it's so lame I know but i really want to do things right. I'd really appreciate any input you have :) (keep in mind that I am a poor college student on a budget haha) thanks!!

Greek yogurt

String cheese-low fat options are available on cheddar and Monterey Jack if you prefer those

Lean deli meats-

Crystal light

Pistachios, almonds, peanuts, walnuts-only if you can control portions

Eggs- I hard cook a dozen at a time and keep in the refrigerator-only 34 calories and 7 grams of Protein for two if you remove the yolk

100 calorie sandwich thins

Of course, fruit and veggies.

I also cook a lot of batches-am especially fond of chili made with very lean beef and double the beans-which I freeze in 1 c. containers,

Hope this helps!

I am still learning the ropes when it comes to shopping for my lapband life. I am 26 days post op.

I am getting better and it is getting easier each time I shop.

I stock up on fresh and canned fish... haddock, salmon, tuna, herring and sardines.

This week I bought ground turkey and made meatballs and a batch of Tomato sauce which made several portions for the freezer (I added some ff cheese to each portion for a total 26 grams protein).

Last week I made a big batch of turkey and bean chili...still working on that.

eggs are an easy Protein fix but because I love them so much I save them as a "treat meal", usually on a lazy sunday morning.

I have eaten a small bit of deli ham and turkey. Again, I try not to eat this because it really isn't an overall "healthy" food...so overly processed.

I have had my share of Protein shakes ( muscle milk, 100 cal 15 gr Protein is my favorite) but less and less as I'm learning which foods pack in the protein.

Good like getting back on the bandwagon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
