Hello! Just getting started on my bariatric journey
Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss | Last Active: Nov 26, 2024 | Replies (13)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I am doing good with the beginning exercises. I have shoulder pain that I am dealing with, but I try to work with the band as much as possible. I have been losing some weight and that is encouraging. I am also learning more about portion control. Sometimes it is hard to make something for one person, and I have had to freeze some of my meals.

I also have shoulder pain and struggle with some exercise. I modify as necessary.
Totally understand issue with cooking for one. Do not want to waste food, but all those leftovers! I try to cut my recipes down to a 2-3 serving size and them either have two days in row or freeze.
One think I do, when buy meat, I subdivide into smaller portions and freeze them in smaller portions. Example, if buy hamburger on sale. I will freeze some in 1/2 lb servings raw, and will brown few pounds and then freeze the browned hamburger in 1/2 lb portions. Then if need hamburger, not using an entire lb. I also freeze chicken breast or pork in individual bags.
It is expensive to eat healthy, but with spring and summer just around the corner, fresh veg will soon be available at cheaper prices.
