my surgery is scheduled for dec 16th. What are must have sugar free foods to have in the house? What are your familys favorite recipes? What can you not live without from the grocery store?

sugar free Popsicle and fudge pops absolute must for the beginning. I remember at the very beginning the Popsicle were the only "water" i got in. If you get powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury they have recipes for high Protein fudge pops. Good luck on your journey.

Some of those questions depend on where a person is in their weight loss journey . As you add food each week your "must have" list changes.

I had the popsicles and SF Jello for about the first 2 weeks then have not had either since. (I'm 6.5 months post op) I had tuna for a few weeks but will probably never eat it again. Same with white flaky fish. Once I got on "real" food things changed and the variety really increased.

Right now my must have, go to when all else fails food is Dannon light and fit strawberry cheesecake yogurt. I have a fridge full. I also always have nuts and Peanut Butter available. I do find myself eating lunch meat almost daily. Sometimes ham, some times turkey, other times roast beef. I use Foldit bread with cheese for lunch most days.

beverages you like are a must. Either pre-made or in packets. I'm a big tea person so I have a lot of that at home.

I cook all the normal stuff for my family. I'm no the slightly bit phased by what they eat. Sometimes it works out that I can eat what they are eating, and other times I would not dream of eating it.

I cannot live with sf Popsicles. The ones in the yellow box only. I'm on my liquid pre op but could not make it without them.
