What's on your food shopping list?



Recommended Posts

So as I'm preparing my food shopping list, I'm wondering what's on everyone else's? What do you do for your Protein? What do you use as a carb?

My go-to foods are GNC Total Lean shakes, Quest Protein bars, salmon filets (Walmart has them for $5 or $6 a bag, really cheap!), chicken/turkey breast, cottage cheese, greens (spinich, kale, collard), and then I love Kozy Shack NSA tapioca pudding for when I need something a little sweet.

Most of my carbs come from dairy. The Quest bars have about 20g of carbs each, but the net carbs on those are 3 or 4 each.

It's just me so cooking anything in a portion I can eat is a little pointless, and if I try to cook more, I end up wasting food because I can't eat it all in time.

I eat a lot of what is on everyone else's lists plus:

  • Frozen berries: easy to thaw just a few and mix with greek yogurt
  • Frozen veggies, all kinds: easy to take out just a handful or less. I add them to canned Soups to up the vegetables and flavor, or just steam or microwave them to get a little veggies with meals. Lately my favs are whole green Beans, butternut squash, and red and green pepper strips
  • Canned tomatoes: I add them to lowfat chili to up my veggies and to canned soups
  • Turkey little smokies
  • Lowfat Gallo Salami (I think it's 55% less fat, NOT the 95% less fat - it's nasty!)
  • Special K whole grain crackers
  • 100% whole wheat bread
  • Jarlsberg Light Swiss cheese ( I buy at costco - 50 calories and 7 grams of protein)
  • Canned soups that are high in veggies and low in calories - I add some chopped chicken or turkey for protein
  • Soy Milk (lactose intolerant post-op)
  • Starbucks Via Italian Roast Decaf instant coffee
  • Sleepytime Tea
  • Sugarfree Instant Cider Mix
  • Splenda

      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.
