How much do you save on food?



Recommended Posts

I don't save anything on groceries. I do eat far, far less and waste a lot of food. I started to buy more quality products like organic milk etc. I can totally taste a difference between organic milk and non, for example and with the amount of food I consume I really want to thoroughly enjoy what I am putting in my mouth.

I suppose if I was single I would probably save some money, but I still buy a lot of my food for my family at places like costco.< /p>

We still go out to eat and a lot of the time I find that the healthy, high Protein entree that I should be eating is the most expensive.

For example, my husband and I went to a restaurant about a month ago called Monkeypod. The only thing that was healthy in my eyes was the hormone-free, grass fed filet mignon. Well, I got it. It was 40+ dollars. I barely ate a fourth of it. I did take it home and nibbled on it later.

I have just come to accept that I waste food and $$ on food. It was stressing me out for awhile, but the stress isn't worth it. I just now accept that if I choose to go out and eat I will be wasting both food and money unless I can find someone to share with...which never happens for me.

Even at home, I waste food. Sometimes I just don't want to eat what I bought.

I do eat far healthier than pre-sleeve. That is a fact.

I thought I would save some money too. But eating healthy is expensive but its worth it in my opinion.

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

      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! 😞
