Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I had a great day today. I had an appointment with my nutritionist and we went to Walmart. She went over with me the things I buy when grocery shopping. They always tell us what we should look for in a label bit with her right there it made so much more sense. She showed me better options besides some of the things I usually buy. I was amazed with some of the things I was buying was smart choices which they weren't always the right choice. I think if more people could take a field trip like this there would be a ton more people with their eyes opened!

Amen!! I've been preaching nutritionist counseling for months. I really thought I knew it all, but back in March my nutritionist pointed out some mistakes I was making and ever since then I've continuously lost weight.

Going to the grocery store with you is brilliant though.

Its a really good idea for people who need that kind of help, having the right foods in the house to eat really does help plan and maintain your food intake. Not having the wrong foods in the house stops the snack attacks , i know if i kept stuff in the house i shouldnt eat, i would have a hard time not eating it :)

I am so impressed that she took the time to help you, what a star!!

I know for me, if I stay on the outside perimeter of the store I do best! I try to buy fresh, no processed, stopped eating any frozen dinners. only can I buy is tuna, sardines, Beans, prego smart sauce etc.

I love Cookies so try to stay out of that aisle all together! my husband has Cookies in the house but nothing I would eat!

I agree with 2muchfun, sometimes we need to show someone else exactly what we eat. I know I have some habits that should change too.

I have not met my goal yet.. I did not put that statement on my ticker??? I can't get it off??? I still want to get closer to 130. only about 30 lbs, can't believe it. this has been such an amazing time of my life.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
