sick of throwing food away.



Recommended Posts

I dont feel I buy very much, I buy for me and my toddlers, yet I am constantly throwing food away as it goes off, I am buying less and less, and even the food I have meal prepped goes off lol.

What things do you buy that have a longer life? Maybe you cook from frozen?

I don't realise how long it will take me to eat some thing , I feel like living of eggs pepperami sticks and string cheese and my salmon in the freezer and my frozen veg instead of other things with short shelf life.

Any ideas? Anyone have these issues?

I meal preped alot of 2 ounce egg salad and then i dont feel like eating egg salad, then it goes of lol . and alot of my fresh veg goes off too etc.

What food do you eat that has alonger shelf life?

try easy to freeze items

such as chicken, fish, prawns,

i like tinned marcrel.

veggies, broccoli, cucumber- frozen spinach if you must

these will be my go toos and protien drinks

if you want to buy fresh only buy what you will eat that day, so if there are leftovers you can eat them the next day without isues

I don't meal-prep by the week, so I've never had to throw anything away.

I cook enough food to last for today and tomorrow, such as a large meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, or tuna casserole in an 8-inch circular pan.

When I'm not in a cooking mood I eat turkey/ham & cheese sandwiches (28 grams of Protein each).

My wife and I were sleeved one moth apart. We were also not buying much but still throwing a lot away. I bought a vacuum sealer, and love it. I'll seal and freeze some of what we buy, and them pull it out later.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
