Grocery shopping



Recommended Posts

I really need some help, I am trying to keep to my SHOPPING list but I keep getting so depressed when I walk down the isles and see all the food I love and can't have, and I always end up getting something that I am not supposed to have and than I feel so bad, please help, any suggestions would help.

What about doing online shopping, like Amazon Prime Now, Postmates or Instacart?

When you go shopping, are you hungry? If so, make sure you eat before you go. Only take enough money for what's on your list.

Make a list and make yourself stick to it. Don't even go down the aisles that have the food that you shouldn't eat.

What stage are you?

The reason I asked was because I found the grocery store a miserable place because nothing seemed appealing for the longest time. I didn't have any cravings and food was a menace to me. But it eventually changed and now I make lists and I only shop on the outside isles of the store. Most of the junk is in the middle. I stay away from processed foods and it helps a lot. You have to do whatever it takes to avoid making mistakes.

      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.
