why would you want to spend money on that expensive food? You've had
surgery, and you have to "retrain" your eating habits. Stick
with the protocol your surgeon has set up. Go to bariatric support group
meetings. I've attended dozens of meetings since my surgery 19 months ago,
and I've yet to hear of anyone say their doctor told them to eat that
stuff. Eat the food recommended by your surgeon. For a better
understanding of what you can eat and cannot eat, I'd strongly suggest
attending support group meetings. I've learned a lot through these
meetings. You don't need to spend a lot of money on Nutrisystem after
having surgery. Eat the right foods in smaller quantities, drink plenty of
water, and exercise. That's the "recipe" that has proven to work
the best.

Not to mention the food is gross and very high in sodium. Plus what if
costs for one week you probably won't spend in a month! Stick to learning
to cook and eat healthy for yourself. Good Luck.

I agree....and some of the food has a chemical taste to it. Since we are
restricted in volume, make the volume as tasty as possible. I have gone to
only 2 meetings, and haven't found them helpful YET, so I will continue to
go to give them a fair chance. Maybe if you find a meeting in your area
you could ask for recipes or easy frozen meals. I don't cook, so I give
myself permission for frozen meals. Any of those taste better than the
Nutrisystem I tried.

online with you folks. when i'm in a hurry, i nuke a lean cuisine and get
3 meals out of it! costs a whole lot less the nutrisystem, plus tastes
better.

Nutrisystem is for a regular diet, and I have heard horror stories about
the food. There is a Bariatric cookbook out there that is wonderful and
easy. It is "Eat to Live, Stop Living to Eat" You can find it
on www.gingersgourmet.com. It is good food for the whole family. You
don't have anything about yourself, so don't know if this pertains to you
or not. If you have kids, you need to start teaching them to eat healthy
now so they don't have to go through what you did. Check it out. It is
great!!

There is also another book on bariatriceating.com that is good. Has all
SORTS of recipes and ideas for holidays too. I agree, you will spend far
less on Lean Cuisines, Helath Choices, deli meats, chicken salads, etc then
buying Nutrisystem. That is SO expensive. There are always people on here
and on the forums that have great meal ideas. Good luck!
