Grilling at the beach....what to eat?



Recommended Posts

So I live at the beach... I know poor me! Well our tradition is to literally drive on with the 4x4, take some wood, start a fire grill dogs on a stick and that is our lunch. Of course there always some high carb potato salad and Pasta salad and s'mores, Cookies, chips, etc. Well I was sleeved last December and the old tradition does not fit in my new life. How would you change it up? Lean hotdog with no bun? cheese sticks or yogurt in the cooler? Any tasty things I could grill on a stick and that are on the bariatric diet? Side note I am not dreading the bathing suit this year! Beach here I come!

Great quality hot dogs on a stick. Skip the light or low fat junk.

Sausages.

Shrimp.

Meatballs.

Add chunks of onion, mushrooms, Tomato to any meat on a stick and enjoy! Everyone else will be jealous of you. Add some cheese to your cooler, too. YUM!

Beach grilling? :)

Anything from the ocean on a skewer with veggies.

Grilled cauliflower and melon.

Grilled yams instead of potatoes.

Grilled flashed tomatoes.

Seaweed salad with pine nuts.

Pork grilled under the sand---yummy!!!

The only thing not grillable is----well--- EVERYTHING is grillable. :)

OMG! I need to go back to the surf! :)

Ohkay - now I need to add buying a new grill to my list of needs after my surgery :D lol - couldn't I just hire one of you to come cook for me? :P

I was thinking of this burger that my family makes - we call it a Hobo Burger - you can use ground turkey burger - tomatoe slice and onion - we usually put half a potatoe on top - just do it without or add a different veggie like cauliflower and add a clove or two of garlic - add salt/pepper or whatever seasonings you like on your burger - wrap the whole thing in foil and put it on the grill until the burger is done :D

I'm only able to eat half but sharing was fun too :D

for a dessert I've seen people take an ice cream cone, fill it with berries and a few chocolate chip, wrap in foil, and warm up on the grill. Looks good

      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.
