Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Hey all.
I was wondering if some of you further out post ops and maintainers would mind sending me like your weekly grocery list ideas. I am looking to revamp my cupboard ideas and would love any help that I can get.
I will say that I have already excersized a couple days this week and am going to try for more. My vitamin, water and protein intakes are pretty good now. Still a little bit of a struggle but I am doing so much better.
Thanks again for supporting me through this journey.

Hope this helps. I live alone, and I cook an entre only once a week. I pick something from a recipe book from the meat or seafood sections. I am two years and almost ten months PO. On a good day, I can eat 1.25 cups of food at a mean. Most days, it's more like 3/4 to one cup. For that reason, I eat very little veggies or fruit. I will buy something fresh, prep it and freeze my kind of portions in snack bags. Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me. I buy one fresh fruit a week, or enjoy what my neighbor gives me from her fruit trees. :)
