Grocery list for post op!



Recommended Posts

I'm now one month post op and I'm cleared to eat just about anything! I really want to stick to my low carb/high Protein diet cause being 45 lbs down seems to be working for me (; but once I get to the grocery store I feel so overwhelmed. So I need a lot of help in that department! I live in a small town with just a Walmart and an HEB so if you shop there I would love to know some of your staple items that you buy every time you're at the store. Any suggestions would help!

Thanks in advance!

I pretty much shop the perimeter in any grocery store now for my Proteins.< /p>

Also hit the tuna aisle and dairy for yogurt and string cheese.< /p>

What I try to keep in the house and easy to grab for 12 hr work shifts.

Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt

Kraft Low fat Mozzarella String Cheese

Tuna

1% Cottage Cheese

Boars Head Ever roast chicken (deli)

Morningstar Black Bean Burgers

Gorton's Tilapia Simply Bake

skim milk

eggs

Decided to stop buying SF popsicles this week. Was too easy for me to rationalize the cals but the carbs added up.

Dropped 3 lbs this week so ok with that.

I finally bought some fresh veggies today. Haven't had veggies since May 1 and I love veggies. Will see how that goes:)

      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.
