8 Week Shopping List



Recommended Posts

My Dr has released me to pretty much anything at this point (8 weeks post op).

I still struggle with a few foods but as long as I eat slow and stop with the first sense of discomfort, I'm ok.

I am about to go grocery shopping and just wanted some ideas from everyone of your staple foods.

tuna and salmon packets, turkey meatballs, eggs, PB2, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, avocados, frozen artichoke hearts, asparagus (I like the frozen grilled asparagus from Trader Joe's), cauliflower rice (frozen from Trader Joe's), sardines, canned mackerel, frozen scallops, frozen shrimp, Babybel cheese, fresh mozzarella cheese sticks, unsweetened vanilla cashew milk (for mixing Protein Shakes etc.), frozen turkey burgers, spicy refried Beans, spicy chicken sausage.

I rely a lot on frozen meat & veggies, as well as tinned meat, because I live alone and couldn't possibly get through fresh meat or fish before it goes bad unless I ate the same thing for every meal (scallops for Breakfast lunch and dinner) for three days in a row!

My husband loves smoked salmon while I prefer packaged tuna. I love tuna mixed with diced apples, a little sweet pickles, and light mayo. Sounds weird but so good. Rotisserie chickens fix 3-4 meals. My husband and I eat completely different, but I keep all staples, cottage cheese, cream cheese, turkey meatballs, you name it, in the fridge and freezer and our meals are quick and easy!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
