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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
