Has anyone had luck with a food DELIVERY DIET PROGRAM such as CHEFS DIET | NUTRI SYSTEM | MEDI FAST meal program etc?? I know some people have great success with these programs-

I have had serious struggles with what to eat day-to-day to keep to the dietary needs AND allow for the variety in food choices that will allow me to stick to eating properly. I also notice that living alone and eating such tiny meals mean a lot of food wasted-Honestly WHO can afford to just throw away groceries?- simply because you lose interest or something makes your band happy one day and sick the next-

Even with the recipes we post here sometimes end up with a pot of whatever flushed or thrown away-Am I right?? I want to do something that will help fellow bandsters with this, one of these diet food delivery programs geared to LAPBANDSTERS would make a killing! I have a full business plan for any venture capitalists out there!

I was considering one of these programs to insure food variety and Portion Control please chime in and let me know what you think guys!:smile2:

Kevin,

I can understand that cooking is a pain. I actually spend a good deal of time shopping / cooking / preparing meals - since both my husband & I are banded.

To be honest I don't know about the foods such as Jenny Craig / Nutri System / etc. - from what I've heard they are pretty horrible tasting, but again I've never tried. My friend in CA (unsure if this is a CA only program - might google others that are similar for your area) has tried Fresh Dining, Premium Gourmet Daily Meal Deliver in Southern California & has been very successful. She's actually lost more weight than I have & I have the band..LOL There food alone looks like things I would prepare VS microwaving a block of ice that's to be my lasagna for the evening .. Not appealing much ... Check them out,

Lulu~

Kevin--I've tried Jenny Craig and the meals were tasty to me!! I live alone so the portions were just right. However, they were quite expensive.

I have learned to prepare small meals. You might want to try using Ziploc seal and steam bags. Throw in one piece of mean and a few veggies with seasonging and you have an instant meal. You might also want to consider repackaging when buying meat. When you purchase meat with several servings---try seasoning it and putting it in individual freezer bags. It's ready when you are.

When I go out, I split a dinner with a friend--save me money and I don't waste the food. I have been blessed to have a friendly band--THERE IS NOTHING that I can't eat. So I really must be careful with Portion Control.< /p>

Good luck with your business.

p.s.---I've been on spring break and didn't log any foods...will start over gain tomorrow.

Kevin, I did nutrisystem for about a year and it was good, you learn which are not so good! But it got old fast...and I am sure though now that I am banded could lose more! You can also pick your own foods instead of their starter one! Good luck

Kevin, I did nutrisystem about 11/2 years ago. The food was pretty good. I didn't stay on it long, I was working out like crazy then and the meals were too small. I was always hungry. But, they would be about perfect now. Also, if you don't like it, you can always send it back.

b- Protein Shake

l-can of chicken broth

d-chocolate/peanutbutter Protein shake

48 oz of crystal light

I've eaten so badly the last 2 days--figured I might ought to try liquids for 2 days to balance out---afraid to get on scale. Don't know if it will work, but I'll try

Does anyone have a recipe for a crustless quiche? I want to try something different for breakfast.

Georgia--did you detox work? Have you lost any more weight?

      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... :(
