First Trip To Grocery Store 5D Post



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I had my first trip to the grocery story today. It was the first time I left the house since coming home from the surgery too! It felt so good almost like I was in a movie, kids on bicyles, mailman walking by. I was suprised how easy it was to walk around the grocery store. Very little if anything bothered me, I mean I was looking right at the food and I had almost no desire for anything ,except crossaints of all things. I picked up some tiny cups too, in the baby section. Its pretty amazing how that section now suddenly seems like a valid aisle to go down. I even looked at the baby food too while I was at it. Some of that stuff looked good. How long post op do you guys think it would be ok to try some of that ?

TLDR , went to grocery store and didnt feel hungry.

Any tips on a sugar free drink ? I hear some of the crystal lights are kind of yucky.

You could probably have the baby food now if you are on full liquids. Is Jello, pudding or yogurt on your list? If so then baby food should be okay.

The first time I went to the grocery store I wanted everything they had. Now my cravings are all but gone.

I really like oceanspray flavor packets. They can be a bit hard to find, but if you ave a Kroger or dillons they carry them.

Funny you mention that OTR, I did see the ocean spray grape flavored packets. I might go back and pick them up. Im not sure if its a guy thing but when I think of crystal light , I remember the commercials from the 90's with women prancing around in white summer dresses. Almost seems like its for chicks only. Ocean Spray, now thats a mans mix!

I can just feel the testosterone now.

Some people push "bro-tein", others chug down a frost glass of ocean spray sugar free cran peach. If only the Ocean spray marketing people could see this.

The Ocean Spray sugar free stuff is great! It even smells like real juice (it doesn't taste like it exactly, though). The crystal lights are very good, too. You know they have a margarita flavor, don't you. Make a good slushy and sit on the porch and enjoy. No one has to know it has no liquor!!! Pretending is good sometimes!

You boys should get some Powerade Zero or G2. My hubby loves them and they are very "manly" :) I have even enjoyed them post op- both are sugar free. It's a nice change from the chick mix crystal light!

Actually I just found out about G2 powder in individual packets. Makes it even more affordable.

I like the Kroger brand Diet Pink Lemonade. It's non-carbonated, caffeine free, and zero calories. My whole family likes it.

      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.
