TakingABreak 2,733 Posted July 15, 2018 As I did my meal prep for this week, I thought to myself, this is what has changed the most for me. I shop weekly for the freshest fruits and veggies. I meal prep every Sunday and some Wednesday/Thursday’s. Would it help to start a challenge for those who want to develop good habits before surgery? We could do a running post and share our food prep victories. I get so much pride looking at my island with all my tupperware and baggies filled with nutritional foods for the week. Let me know if anyone’s interested! Next Sunday I’ll take my pic of my food prep in all its glory! 6 1 Creekimp13, sillykitty, Orchids&Dragons and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaylorMade4One 105 Posted July 16, 2018 Hi! I'd be interested. Are you allowed to have one meal per day on your pre op, when did you start your pre op diet and when is your surgery?Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wanted to do something that could help pre ops waiting for a date or even for post ops who want to get better at food prep. 3 2018Pammy, Frustr8 and KatallacStrong reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to religiously meal prep (breakfast and lunch that is) and sadly got out of the habit although I still make good choices. A challenge is a great idea to whip some of us back into the good habit of prepping We could share recipes too possibly? Yay? Nay? Either way I count me in 2 Frustr8 and TakingABreak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha I just tried making a video of making dinner after meal prepping and unless I can figure out video editing. You don’t want to see me making 4 chicken skewers 😂😂. Poking each slice of pepper, onion and chicken chunk. ⏳ I’m going to see if I can get the hang of editing and *then* I will def post a video. 1 SGirl35 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
