8 Week Shopping List



Recommended Posts

My Dr has released me to pretty much anything at this point (8 weeks post op).

I still struggle with a few foods but as long as I eat slow and stop with the first sense of discomfort, I'm ok.

I am about to go grocery shopping and just wanted some ideas from everyone of your staple foods.

tuna and salmon packets, turkey meatballs, eggs, PB2, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, avocados, frozen artichoke hearts, asparagus (I like the frozen grilled asparagus from Trader Joe's), cauliflower rice (frozen from Trader Joe's), sardines, canned mackerel, frozen scallops, frozen shrimp, Babybel cheese, fresh mozzarella cheese sticks, unsweetened vanilla cashew milk (for mixing Protein Shakes etc.), frozen turkey burgers, spicy refried Beans, spicy chicken sausage.

I rely a lot on frozen meat & veggies, as well as tinned meat, because I live alone and couldn't possibly get through fresh meat or fish before it goes bad unless I ate the same thing for every meal (scallops for Breakfast lunch and dinner) for three days in a row!

My husband loves smoked salmon while I prefer packaged tuna. I love tuna mixed with diced apples, a little sweet pickles, and light mayo. Sounds weird but so good. Rotisserie chickens fix 3-4 meals. My husband and I eat completely different, but I keep all staples, cottage cheese, cream cheese, turkey meatballs, you name it, in the fridge and freezer and our meals are quick and easy!

      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.

      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!
