Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

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?

Eat or drink what feels good. Reject the rest. Keep healthy choices in mind. The end.

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.

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.

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.

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! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
