Grocery list for post op!



Recommended Posts

I'm now one month post op and I'm cleared to eat just about anything! I really want to stick to my low carb/high Protein diet cause being 45 lbs down seems to be working for me (; but once I get to the grocery store I feel so overwhelmed. So I need a lot of help in that department! I live in a small town with just a Walmart and an HEB so if you shop there I would love to know some of your staple items that you buy every time you're at the store. Any suggestions would help!

Thanks in advance!

I pretty much shop the perimeter in any grocery store now for my Proteins.< /p>

Also hit the tuna aisle and dairy for yogurt and string cheese.< /p>

What I try to keep in the house and easy to grab for 12 hr work shifts.

Chobani Greek Lemon Yogurt

Kraft Low fat Mozzarella String Cheese

Tuna

1% Cottage Cheese

Boars Head Ever roast chicken (deli)

Morningstar Black Bean Burgers

Gorton's Tilapia Simply Bake

skim milk

eggs

Decided to stop buying SF popsicles this week. Was too easy for me to rationalize the cals but the carbs added up.

Dropped 3 lbs this week so ok with that.

I finally bought some fresh veggies today. Haven't had veggies since May 1 and I love veggies. Will see how that goes:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
