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?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
