Best grocery stores?



Recommended Posts

I am 15 weeks out and down 61 lbs, yay! In Addition to cutting out the carbs and sugar and all that I'm attempting to go all organic, hormone free and all of that so the rest of the family is eating just as healthy. Instead of going to my typical chain grocery stores and reading Labels on every product are there stores that you prefer to shop in? While I know I still have to read labels im looking for a more health concious store where I'm sure to find more options. Trader joes? Whole foods? What grocery stores have been more bariatric friendly for you?

I like Aldi, Trader Joe's, the local farmer's market, and some of the small Amish markets we have in our area.

I agree with both Surfer Girl and Mbale. I'm a fan of TJ's, farmer's markets and WF-but I think WF is a bit over-priced.

I've heard Aldi's also has good products but haven't gone myself. The same company owns both TJ's and Aldi's-so there could be some overlap.

Best of luck!

      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.
