So I am not 5 weeks post op RNY. I didn't realize just how much food and $$ I would waste. And to a point it is starting to get to me. Any one else having this issue?

I originally bought my vitamins after sampling them pre op. Now post op I CANT stand them and have now switched to capsules. (By my doctors recommendation) So right there is 60$ throw away from my first bag of vitamins that I can not take.

I bought my protein powder and shakes before hand also. After I tried and drank them for a couple weeks. Loved them pre op. Now post op I CAN NOT STAND ANY artificial protein. I am strictly getting protein from food. So that is another 140$ wasted on full containers of protein that I cant drink. (even the unflavored IS flavored to me)

Making food is where I feel I am wasting also. I have been doing a lot of been soups and chili's and throw everything in crock pot and bam I have food. But its so much food and I am not eating all that much I am throwing also away. I had one batch that I did freeze but when I thawed it I could not eat it. Tasted off and I did not like it. So the extra food I throw away that's also throwing away $.

I get my new tummy cant take in that much and I will be wasting food. I just did not realize just how much that would be.....

What a great idea. I too donated my stuff to my cousin who just had surgery. I was happy to see it all go.

Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

My aunt is now wanting to get the surgery done. Using my surgeon too ! Told her I would give it all to her. Great products just didn't work for me.

I'd certainly try that - if I knew what cool whip was! ?

It’s a non dairy whipped cream

Ah! We don't get it over our neck of the woods.

Not too much of a loss, it is made of hydrogenated coconut oil and gives me GERD,every time. Give me natural whipped cream, well perhaps not, I need nothing to raise my weight.
