meal kits for bariatrics?



Recommended Posts

I’m about 5 weeks out from rny gastric bypass and I’m starting to get back to a more “normal” diet. Are there any meal kits out there that anyone knows of?

a couple years ago I was in a ldr and my bf used to order 3-4 meals a week. When I visited, it was enough for two and when I was not there, he always had leftovers since they are designed for 2.

Since I’m obviously not eating as much as I did pre op, one kit would probably be 4 or 5 meals and that seems so wasteful because I can’t imagine eating the same thing 4 meals in a row. Are there meal kits out there that make smaller portions?

You could try freezing some of the leftovers. I do that often, then I can rotate through meals so I don’t get bored with them.

check around you locally... Ask the gyms and such... like where i live there are several small businesses that do healthy meal preps and put out a new menu weekly and either deliver or you pick up at local gyms.

I resumed ordering Hello Fresh meals about 5 months post op. I try to order the carb smart ones and I eat mostly the Protein and vegetable, a few bites of potato or carb. Typically I'll have some leftovers but not a ton. My fiancé might eat some of my portion and I also share with my toddler son so it works out. It's a nice option when I don't want to think about meal planning but I don't use it weekly, that may get overwhelming then.

https://www.baribox.org/ - I've never tried it, but have heard good reviews. My family uses Dinnerly a few times a week. I just stick to Protein & veggie heavy meals and split my portion into 2-3 meals.

I have heard good things about that baribox as well on here in the past. Never tried it but it seems like a great idea for us. Seems like they would show the food on a plate on their website and it may look more appetizing.

I wondered that myself and thought about Jenny craig, nutrisystem, or those Hello Fresh type of home delivery meal kits. But then I thought, wouldn't frozen "Weight Watchers" or "Atkins" dinners work?

Let us know if you do try those baribox meals. I am curious about the taste. I still think they should show the food in something other than a bag on their website to make it look more appealing but I have a feeling it’s will taste good.

      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.
