I’m about 5 weeks out from rny gastric bypass and I’m starting to get back to a more “normal” diet. Are there any meal kits out there that anyone knows of?

a couple years ago I was in a ldr and my bf used to order 3-4 meals a week. When I visited, it was enough for two and when I was not there, he always had leftovers since they are designed for 2.

Since I’m obviously not eating as much as I did pre op, one kit would probably be 4 or 5 meals and that seems so wasteful because I can’t imagine eating the same thing 4 meals in a row. Are there meal kits out there that make smaller portions?

You could try freezing some of the leftovers. I do that often, then I can rotate through meals so I don’t get bored with them.

check around you locally... Ask the gyms and such... like where i live there are several small businesses that do healthy meal preps and put out a new menu weekly and either deliver or you pick up at local gyms.

I resumed ordering Hello Fresh meals about 5 months post op. I try to order the carb smart ones and I eat mostly the protein and vegetable, a few bites of potato or carb. Typically I'll have some leftovers but not a ton. My fiancé might eat some of my portion and I also share with my toddler son so it works out. It's a nice option when I don't want to think about meal planning but I don't use it weekly, that may get overwhelming then.

https://www.baribox.org/ - I've never tried it, but have heard good reviews. My family uses Dinnerly a few times a week. I just stick to protein & veggie heavy meals and split my portion into 2-3 meals.

I have heard good things about that baribox as well on here in the past. Never tried it but it seems like a great idea for us. Seems like they would show the food on a plate on their website and it may look more appetizing.

I wondered that myself and thought about Jenny craig, nutrisystem, or those Hello Fresh type of home delivery meal kits. But then I thought, wouldn't frozen "Weight Watchers" or "Atkins" dinners work?

Let us know if you do try those baribox meals. I am curious about the taste. I still think they should show the food in something other than a bag on their website to make it look more appealing but I have a feeling it’s will taste good.
