Containers for meal prepping



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I am doing the rny the 28th of august and I was wondering what containers you guys are using for meal prep in small ounces. I have some of the disposable ones already (1 oz, 2 oz) and am looking for microwavable (preferably not glass because i travel and they break etc) now thanks in advance for any replies

I some called “snap wear” I got them at target. Glass, leak proof. Perfect. I am going to try to attach a picture.

I love zip lock bags - snack size 15 x 10cm. Great for freezing individual serves & don’t take up as much room in the freezer as containers.

This might not help because you said you don't want glass, but I use these 4-ounce "baby food containers":

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0854P3XS1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0854P2X1W

They are oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe (well, the lids are plastic so don't put those in the oven), and pretty low in price (currently $14.99 for six, but the price fluctuates and I got them for $12.99). I like the rectangular ones (first link) better than the round ones because the lids on the round ones are a little difficult to put on and take off. I specifically wanted glass rather than plastic because plastic gets scratched and stained. I also think it's more enjoyable to eat out of a glass container than plastic, but maybe that's just me.

      April Surgery

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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
