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:)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
