How much do you save on food?



Recommended Posts

I don't save anything on groceries. I do eat far, far less and waste a lot of food. I started to buy more quality products like organic milk etc. I can totally taste a difference between organic milk and non, for example and with the amount of food I consume I really want to thoroughly enjoy what I am putting in my mouth.

I suppose if I was single I would probably save some money, but I still buy a lot of my food for my family at places like costco.< /p>

We still go out to eat and a lot of the time I find that the healthy, high Protein entree that I should be eating is the most expensive.

For example, my husband and I went to a restaurant about a month ago called Monkeypod. The only thing that was healthy in my eyes was the hormone-free, grass fed filet mignon. Well, I got it. It was 40+ dollars. I barely ate a fourth of it. I did take it home and nibbled on it later.

I have just come to accept that I waste food and $$ on food. It was stressing me out for awhile, but the stress isn't worth it. I just now accept that if I choose to go out and eat I will be wasting both food and money unless I can find someone to share with...which never happens for me.

Even at home, I waste food. Sometimes I just don't want to eat what I bought.

I do eat far healthier than pre-sleeve. That is a fact.

I thought I would save some money too. But eating healthy is expensive but its worth it in my opinion.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
