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!

      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.
