Rycherchick 147 Posted March 22, 2013 I hate going to the grocery store, nothing tastes good. Things I loved before surgery now I can't stand. Good in a way cuz a lot of my favs got me to 247. I'm ruining out of things to try to eat. I just had a little roast beast sandwich meat with a pickle and it was gagnacious. I'm 7 weeks out. Did any one else go thru this?

delta_girl 931 Posted March 22, 2013 Eat or drink what feels good. Reject the rest. Keep healthy choices in mind. The end. 1 selbradey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsG 329 Posted March 23, 2013 Yes. The first time I went grocery shopping after surgery I was almost depressed. I kept thinking of all the things I couldn't eat but then I changed my attitude and looked at it more like what can I try that's healthy and that might appeal taste wise to me now. I actually had fun then picking out different things to try. I had never had garbanzo Beans and now I love them! Same with turkey chili! I bought shrimp and imitation crab and it was really good. Just try different things you've never tried before. You might be surprised that while there are things not appealing to your taste buds since surgery, other things will taste better now.

erp 2,016 Posted March 23, 2013 The store is like a scavenger hunt to me. I search out what I can have. I always end up spending too much but that's ok. It's like a game. I've found some really yummy stuff. I am positively obsessed with Brat Hans chicken meatballs in pineapple teriyaki. They are moist and flavorful. This week I'm going to buy those 100 calorie spicy guacamole packs. I love the store and just make sure I don't walk down the junk food isles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffus 66 Posted March 23, 2013 I am 5 months out... I still hate to go grocery shopping! I like costco for cheese sticks and trader joes for turkey Jerky. I know where it is and I go straight in and straight out! Shopping sucks!!!!! I feel lost in there and just send my husband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsG 329 Posted March 24, 2013 I like the imitation crab' date=' but have you seen the carbs in them????[/quote'] Well I don't eat it all the time or a lot of it when I do. I get these little packs for a dollar at Walmart and they are called seafood snackers. I will eat 2 of the 4 pieces and it's 40 calories, 3grams of Protein and 7 grams of carbs. I guess its a little high but i didn't think it was too bad. I don't really eat anything with carbs tho. I cant have breads, pastas, grains or white potatoes for 4 more months so I'm not worried about the carbs for now. They make a great snack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
