Weight Loss Surgery Forums

I have industrial-sized containers of cottage cheese, about a million eggs, Greek yogurt, sugar-free jell-o that I won't touch, and sixteen different kinds of protein shakes.  Aaaah, the fridge of a new post-op.

Submitted by: NursieGirl

No newbie here!  I'll be 4 years postop on 8/29/10.  In my fridge, you will find fresh fruit, yogurt, different types of deli meat and cheese, eggs, and nice lean meat for cooking.  There are most always fresh veggies for salads--romaine lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, bell pepper, and such.  Nothing better on a hot summer day than a nice cool, crisp salad!

Not much.

I'm in one of my "knife-in-gut" phases.

So I have my usual tubs of protein (BSN Lean Dessert in Vanilla and Chocolate) and Click (Mocha and Vanilla), some RTD proteins for when I go running (Mix1), some Greek yogurt, milk for coffee, some eggs and cheese for when I'm feeling "adventurous" and that's about it.  I don't like food and food doesn't like me.  Fun!

The kids, however, have their yogurt, fresh fruit, more cheese, chicken, and pasta at their disposal almost constantly.  And thus, I see it... watching me..

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, turkey bacon, deli meats, salad fixings, Crystal Light ect...trying to get better about what's in my fridge

Submitted by: solise

OMG, they can't come over today!  My kids went off for the weekend, and Mama's cleaning the fridge!  I found the source of the smell -- it's a turned over bottle of Worcestershire Sauce -- and the fridge is entirely marinated.

That said, my fridge is looking pretty sparse. I need to shop, we have four kids and two adults in my house, and I need to hit the grocery store ASAP.

I have eggs, egg substitute, condiments, pickles, olives, various cheeses:  cottage cheese, sliced cheese, cheese sticks, shredded cheeses, and an outdated ricotta that I just tossed,  skim milk, a case of water, baby carrots, romaine lettuce, apples, protein shakes: several for review, and a handful of Premier RTD's and Atkins Shakes, a Pot Roast that really needs to be cooked this weekend or frozen, half of a pizza, cream, various kid-things like yogurts and Jell-o. 

The freezer -- ugh.  It's always full of frozen veggies (which I HATE), Lean Cuisine + SmartOnes meals, Sugar-free popsicles, a bag of ice, meats, and usually, A TON OF BREAD.  We never eat the bread we buy, it always ends up frozen.

I'm out of MANY of my personal staples. I'm lost without my soy milk.  I must get to the store.

Fresh veggies - always, even before all this WLS stuff.  Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs, cottage cheese, sugar-free Jell-o, Sambal - have to have it spicy.

I've been to the Farmer's Market twice this week so I am fully stocked full of every kind of seasonal vegetable and fruit available.  I especially love Rainier cherries, and peaches (without the skin), and apples and pears of every sort being I am in Seattle.  I also have a large selection of cheeses, inlcuding French, Irish, Danish, and English versions.  I also have yogurt, including Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and unsalted natural peanut butter.  Some edamame (probably spelled wrong.)  As for meat . . .I don't eat a lot of meat anymore, but I do keep good lunch meats on stock for my husband.  My freezer is stalked with some Annie's Bowls, vegetarian that I can take for lunch once in a while if I feel like it.  There is also a selection lean meats to cook for my husband.  I have gulten-free natural bread in there, and Ben and Jerry's ice cream is in there too :)

On the shelves,  I have whole-grain crackers, some canned Annie's vegetable soups, brown rice, curry paste, and a bunch of jars of sauces from Trader Joe's that are easy to pour over meat and serve with brown rice for a very quick and easy meal with a fresh salad.  On my Mom's shelf (she is 92 and lives with us) are cookies and all the sweet things an elder French woman loves to eat:) 

I am sure there is a lot I am leaving off and there is on many occasions, bunches of food that I should not be eating and usually do not eat, but buy when the kids will be visiting and want their favorite home-cooked meals made by Mom.  My oldest son is vegan and quite the chef, and he always teaching me a new recipe and showing me a new technique for preparing something tasty and healthy.

 Lean ground beef, yogurt, watermelon, nectarines, quinoa and beans, Minute Maid light, asiago cheese, crab cakes and eggs in the fridge.  In the pantry, there are nuts, whole-grain crackers, beans and other canned goods.

With these ingredients I would make crab cakes with quinoa salad. (Quinoa, green onions, chopped nectarines, cashews and parsley!)  

Yum...that sounds like lunch tomorrow!

Amazing how similar our food supplies are.  I'm 8 months out from lap RNY.   In my fridge and pantry you'd find plenty of non-fat, plain yogurt, fresh berries and cherries, protein granola, string cheese, ready-made protein drinks, protein powders, fresh salad veggies, envelopes of cinnamon flavored oatmeal, lower calorie protein bars of different kinds, non-fat milk, whole-grain cereals, cans of low-fat minestrone and lentil soups, Gerber Graduate Yogurt Melts, lean slices of herbed turkey, some sugar-free cookies, whole-grain crackers, baked cheddar snacks for very occasional treat, decaf coffee, sugar free vanilla flavoring for coffee, a big bag of Splenda, and sometimes leftover's from restaurant meals.

I usually don't buy veggies because by the time I get to them they are rotten and I just throw them out. So when I want a salad I will just by one that's pre-made.

In my freezer:

My one vice, Edy's Fruit Bars!, I love them!

Like old Mother Hubbard... the fridge is pretty bare. Lots of condiments on the shelves but nothing to put them on.   Greek yogurt, mozzarella and cheddar cheese... skim milk.. Activia Light Yogurt.. leftover shrimp and lobster sauce.  Oranges, raspberries, avocado, Crystal Light.

The freezer is full...but notice that I have very few "ready to eat" foods in the fridge.  It helps ward off temptation if you have to work to prepare a meal.

Let's see...I have string cheese, an assortment of hard and shredded cheeses, cottage cheese, yogurt, blueberries, grapes, skim milk, Atkins RTD protein shakes, orange juice, potatoes, onions, green peppers, broccoli, SF/FF pudding, eggs, bacon, an assortment of condiments that I should just throw out (except the mustard, of course), hummus, salsa, pickles, cherry peppers, and a half can of refried beans (lunch today and tomorrow).  In my cupboard I have soup, wheat crackers, canned carrots (yuck), canned beets (yuck), black beans, refried beans, garbanzo beans, oatmeal, olive oil, spaghetti, tomato sauce, and brown rice.

I have to admit, it looks a lot different now than it did a few months ago!

Hello everyone,

My fridge has a ton of stuff in it.  I have a shrimp cocktail ring, yellow fin tuna, bacon, eggs, Mootopia fat-free milk, another fat-free milk for the family, blueberries, watermelon, plain yogurt, cucumber, red bell pepper, asparagus, broccoli, grapes, cheese galore, tofu, romaine lettuce, fresh corn on the cob, chicken stock, turkey pepperoni, lunch meat (turkey & ham).  It is actually pretty healthy sounding but probably cause I went grocery shopping this weekend!

Yes... yes, there is ice cream in my freezer!  I wasn't going to let WLS be a death sentence.  I love my ice cream, and I eat small portions now and then. (Seriously, eating a large portion of l loaded sugar free ice cream = instant death... if not to me, then possibly to my family.)

Sugar -free ice pops
Frozen meats and veggies

In my cabinets... not much really.  I cut out a lot of processed foods after weight loss surgery.
I have some rice cakes, brown rice, canned veggies, Fiber One bars.

Hi Everyone,

Not much....I live alone right now and do not shop much. I usually get food on the go. When my fiancé comes for the weekend that is when I cook.

In my fridge is usually cheese, egg beaters, light butter, fat-free milk, water and protein bars.
My freezer has sugar-free ice pops, Weight Watchers ice cream sandwiches, frozen vegetables, Weight Watchers meals, lean pork chops and 93% lean hamburgers.

My cabinets are filled with baking stuff...to make my protein muffins, protein bars, Cliick, diet hot chocolate, thin crisp triscuits, crystal light, canned tomato sauce, carbquick (?) baking mix to make waffles...it has only 2 net grams sugar and 7 grams of protein in 1/3 cup, and pancake mix from proti-diet. These are mixed with water and have 15g of protein.

I pretty much eat healthy at home. When I go out it is sometimes challenging but I do protein first and watch the carbs.

My fiancé Don, who is also an OH SGL,and I try to make sure we both stick to the WLS diet.

Skim milk, eggs, fat-free cream cheese, turkey pepperoni (I love that stuff) coffee beans!  In the pantry I have several different protein powders, and a gazillion different sugar-free drink mixes (like Crystal lLight), and a huge coffee bar like set up of suga- free syrups for protein coffee.  I also have Flaxseed flour, Carb Smart, surgar-free chocolate chips, Benefiber, protein bars,  and Whey Low sugars in several different flavors.  It is actually pretty empty of fresh ingredients because I just arrived home from a trip, but I plan to go to the grocery today and tothe farmer's marker on Wednesday morning!

Sunday is my market day too, so today Monday, my fridge is full of already cut up veggies and fruits.  I am simmering a pot of chicken soup on the stove and have my menu planned out for the week based on things that were on sale or available at the market.   I found since I began my journey that I plan my food much more carefully than before.  I don't like to be caught short and not have a good supply of protein or healthy snacks.  It has also changed the way my kids and husband approach food as well.  One of my favorites to have on hand is sautéed peppers and onions.  I can add them to leftover meat from dinner the night before and make a healthy wrap with some romaine lettuce and low-fat dressing.  Low-carb and highly satisfying. Another favorite right now, with the lovely tomatoes available, is stuffed tomatoes.  We stuff them with everything from chicken or tuna salad to an olive medly.  When I have a craving for sweet stuff I just love frozen white grapes.  I don't know what it is about the texture, sweet tart taste of them but they really satisfy when it is hot out.

I have a few Lean Cuisines also.

 Um, my husband and I just got back from a weekend in St. Louis AND I am due to go shopping so there isn't much good in my fridge right now.  Also, besides him, my daughter and her two sons are living with us right now, so out of the six of us, I'm the only one who has had WLS... hence the assortment of food...

Fridge

Some nonfat milk, eggs, assorted deli meats, a container of watermelon that I need to throw out because I cut up a whole one and couldn't eat it all quickly enough, raw veggies that probably also need to go out for the same reason, various protein options that I thought I could do but haven't been able to (not really liking food much these days), simply fruit, olives, pickles, sf ready to eat pudding, my husband's sweet tea, my husband's OJ, various take out container from meals we couldn't finish between the two of us.  Now that I think of it, the whole fridge needs to pretty much be cleaned out.

Freezer

SF  popsicles, my husband's Breyer's cookie dough ice cream,  ground turkey, ground beef, frozen broccoli, frozen chopped onions, frozen left over chicken and beef enchiladas I made the last time my son was visiting, bread, rolls.

Pantry

Lots of beef and chicken broth, spices, sf syrup, total cereal, oats, sf instant puddings, tea bags, canned veggies assorted, canned tuna, assorted pasta, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, beneprotein, any Whey unflavored protein powder, some Hamburger Helper and other "instant" meal prep items my daughter brought with her when she moved back in last week...


Boy, do I need to go grocery shopping....

A friend may not think I'm a good friend. All I have inside my fridge is a bag of baby carrots, salad dressing (FF or RF), fruit juice, and water. In the freezer is two Healthy Choice meals. It's a sad day in my neighborhood because I'm a family of five. We tend to eat allot of salads with veggies from the health food store. They (vegetables) don't last long so I buy fresh daily or every other day. Keeping a low amount of food on had stops those unexpected visits at dinner

In the fridge there is yogurt, cottage cheese, cheeses & lunch meat, a few diet sodas (I know, a no no), eggs, milk. The pantry is another story. Lots of cold cereal, pasta, oatmeal, canned veggies, ect. I am 6 years out in Oct. and I know some of this stuff isn't the best but, that is what I have in there as I have my college age daughter home for the summer.

Submitted by: Liz Sorlie

Hmmmm. Lots of salad ingredients (there is NOTHING like a good Jersey tomato!) Greek yogurt, lots of low-fat cheeses (can't eat no-fat - to me they are just plastic.  I'd rather have a little good, then a lot of fake.)  Hard-boiled eggs - I eat the whites, when I need to nibble.  To drink, brewed coffee (ice coffee anytime after the temp reaches 80!) and diet decaf orange tea, or sun-brewed chai tea. 

Summer frutis - the real sweet varieties', with exception of watermelon cause me to dump, but I can do apples, grapes, cherries, strawberries and cantaloupe.

Breads (can't really leave them out in this heat) whole/multi-grain and Joseph's fiber pitas.....

So yum.

Hello,

Since I am not the only person living in my home we have a variety of things.  Always lots of protein, I am a carnivore!  I am almost 10 years out from surgery and have concurred the cravings and the addictions, since weight loss surgery. 

I can have ice cream or other sweets (those were my down fall before) in the house and can actually prepare them for others.  I do not even take a bite!

Best part of all, I don't crave them, want them or feel deprived for not having them. Give me some fruit like mango, orange, strawberries, blue berries, banana or a teaspoon of low-fat peanut butter and I am good to go!

Life is so good when you feel EMPOWERED and no longer a SLAVE TO FOOD!

I am 22 months out, so lots of fresh fruit and veggies.  I always have tomatoes, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, fresh spinach, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, apples, and coconut milk.  I love using my coconut milk with protein mix and frozen berries to blend a quick, fruit smoothie that tastes so yummy!  I keep a pitcher (must have) of Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger ice -tea with orange and lime slices.  Great way to cool down, and it is all decaf as well!  Lots of deli meats and non-fat cheeses.  I use lettuce leaves to do "sandwich" wraps---so good and no bread.

In my freezer I have lots of lean meats and coconut ice cream as well as some homemade sorbet. Never thought eating could be so goooood!  I love to cook now and have tried lots of new things; my family bought me a new food processor and Kitchen Aid mixer with so many accoutrements that enables me to make sorbet and ice cream

I plead the 5th on the grounds that it may incriminate me

Submitted by: Faith *

When putting together a menu for a baby shower where ALL attendees except for the mother-to- be has had WLS, the choices were easy: shrimp cocktails with cucumber ribbons, grape tomatoes and avocado slices; 'shooter' size cheesecake cups with fresh raspberries, blackberries; asparagus and artichoke filo dough 'purses'. Who says you can't eat great even in small doses? I always have Greek yogurt with fresh berries, combined with uncooked steel cut oatmeal, dried fruit and almonds/walnuts/pecans for breakfast every day. As long as I have that, the rest of the items in my fridge are there to accommodate my husband.

My fridge has a pretty healthy array of foods in it. Fruits and fresh veggies are always on hand in there. Then I also have low fat sliced deli chicken and turkey breast, cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, some small cartons of protein drinks, flavored water, propel and milk. You will also almost always find some grilled chicken breast strips in there. Whenever I grill chicken breasts, I always make extra for a quick and easy protein source for adding to a salad, or just eating as my meat in a lunch.

You will also find in my fridge, a few things I do not eat or consume, but that my husband's enjoys, such as Dr. pepper, some full fat cheeses, chocolate pudding (not SF).

The pantry? I have various canned goods, mostly veggies. Some soups, mostly for my husband, and whole grain pasta.
If you look down to the lowest shelf.. you might just be in shock as to what you will find there. This is the shelf that houses my husband's snack foods, and treats for my Grandchildren like fruit roll ups, etc. And honestly, that no-no shelf doesn't bother me a bit. I typically will buy my husband the snacks he likes, but I don't care for, that way I am not tempted to indulge. And there is very little junk food here or my grandchildren, as when they are here, they like to eat fruit and yogurt and cottage cheese with "grammy".

Now my husband has the opposite problem as do most of us here.. he just cannot seem to be at a healthy weight, but is quite underweight. So when he wants things I cannot eat, I do not discourage him. I just stand strong in my own commitment to my lifelong success and try to always make the best choices. They are not always perfect, but I do pretty darned good!

4 years post op here! Just got back from vacation so it's sort of empty.

Nonfat milk, soy milk, cheeses of all sorts, lots of fruits and veggies from my garden, a ton of blueberries, sliced ham, pickles, condiments, Greek yogurt, eggs, and an entire shelf of diet Pepsi (my husband drinks that). Oh I can't forget the full pitcher of Brita water!

Submitted by: Jandell

I have flax oil, berries, Fage yogurt and protein powder for my shakes.  There are 3 bags of greens, lots of onions and garlic, squash, zucchini, eggplant, fresh tomatoes and peppers from my garden, assorted cheeses, asparagus, beets, and balsamic vinegar for salads and grilling veggies. (LOVE grilled veggies!!) There are also 8 cans of tuna in the pantry and chicken breasts, sirloin steaks, scallops, whiting, salmon, a pork loin and ground turkey in the freezer. 

Since I don't live alone and the hubby and kids enjoy an occasional treat, there are ingredients in the pantry to make cookies, brownies, and a pie.  We don't typically keep packages of readymade items around. They are full of preservatives and other crap with no nutritional value and by only making fresh baked goods when their cravings arise I can better control what and how much they eat...and it makes it a true treat since it is only occasionally.  Besides, mine taste much better that that store bought stuff.

On the counter is a bowl of fresh fruits...bananas, plums, apples, pears, lemons, limes, oranges and nectarines. There are also about a dozen flavors of crystal light, a gallon of skim milk, a V8 fusion light and a carton of OJ.  No sodas.  If they want a soda, they have to leave the house to go get it.

hey Kathy...
I'm being real good cause it's summer and I love fresh vegetables.  I could eat them all day long so my pantry is getting a little bare of the "really bad things."  now, don't ask me this in the fall and winter months but summer is my favorite time of the year. 

I've even found "lactose-free" ice cream so even in my freezer I'm being good!!! lol.

I have more Chobani Yogurt in every flavor than the super market. Tubs of Cashew Granola to mix into my Chobani Yogurt as well! That stuff is so yummy. This past weekend I made it to the farmers market for some yummy organic veggies and my friend could totally toss them up with the hundreds of packages of chicken breasts in my freezer. If My friend didn't have time to thaw out the chicken, she could also grab a quick protein shake or bar or some homemade low fat egg salad.

Oh woops... I just realized the chicken in my freezer doesn't count so hopefully the night before my friend comes over to show off her culinary skills, I remembered to put a package in the fridge to defrost Can I make protein shake smoothies if I push the ice button on the outside of the freezer?? Lmao

Kathy's "What's in your refrigerator?"
 
I'm so glad to see this thread!  Great ideas so far!

I have just cleaned out my refrigerator and freezer in preparation for a BIG food storage buy.

Refrigerator now:
Water bottles, condiments of every variety (many are  low-carb and most are gluten-free), butter, cream, eggs, bacon, deli meats, variety of cheeses and ONE nectarine

Planning to buy and put in refrigerator:  More of what's already in there plus: more cheese variety (want to experiment), cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, low-glycemic veggies (I like peppers, spinach, kale, cabbage, cauli, onion & garlic).....turkey pepperoni to nuke for chips, shirataki noodles, tofu & some pre-made protein drinks.

Freezer:  has all variety of beef, poultry and fish.  Suga- free popsicles, frozen yogurt, big Costco jar of golden ground flax seed (can't live without my muffin in a minute).  I have about a dozen low-carb Lean Cuisines, small freezer containers of homemade taco soup, homemade chili, homemade Italian bean soup, homemade recipe of pulled pork,  and a large frozen lasagna (just in case kiddos drop by!)

I've been purging the cupboards, refrigerator and freezer for weeks now.  My hubby also had WLS and since we're empty nesters now we thought it was about time to ditch the processed crap in the pantry (old mac n cheese mixes, scalloped potato mixes, etc) ...so, we took some large boxes to a food kitchen last week.  It felt great and now my cupboards are BARE!  I have 4 kids so it's the first time in my life that I've dared to have BARE cupboards!  I LOVE it and my large protein jugs actually "fit" in the cupboards now instead of stacked in my bedroom closet! 

I'm sounding a little anal with the purging but it's the first time in my life and it feels GREAT to totally embrace my DS (RNY for hubby) lifestyle!
(Admitting that the chocolate stash still exists. ) 

I'm with you!  I LOVE Farmer's Markets and the veggies/fruits taste soooo much better!

Kind of worrying about the Holidays already.  I have all the kids, grandkids and other guests coming so I will need to bake traditional and stock the fridge with guest friendly things. 

....and I'm babbling again.....LOL!

I have just about everything listed in the other posts! NO KIDDING! I have three college age kids at home this summer and they have big appetites. My eyes are literally way bigger than my stomach when I go shopping. I took them with me to Costco and we came home with $500.00 worth of groceries yesterday to add to our already huge stock.
    What really strikes you when you open my refrigerator right now is the intense smell or what my kids say: stink! LOL I brought home a big selection of soft cheeses from France. They are all double bagged in zip lock but still..(The beagle at the airport gave my bag a good sniffing but cheese is OK to bring home.) My new favorite is breaded soft goat cheese that is ready to be sautéed in butter until crisp on the outside and creamy inside. Wonderful on top of a salad. Trying to think of what I have that others haven't listed... BBQ chicken breasts in a zip lock bag to slice on top of salads. I have a big variety of sausages, linguicia, chorizo, hard Salamis, etc. Pates, full fat cottage cheese, cream cheese which I add to sauces when cooking, frozen salmon burgers, shrimp and scallops. I have lots of premade sauces from Trader Joe's to add some quick flavor to chicken such as coconut curry and yellow Thai sauce. Canned tuna and chicken for quick protein fix. Beef jerky, nuts, and protein bars for on the go snacks.

I just stocked up this past week. I have all types of cheese, sharp cheddar, baby Swiss, havarti, provolone, Quesa, mozzarella,  cream cheese. Also cottage cheese, yogurt. Lunch meats salami, oven roasted turkey, braunswager, tuna, salmon. Egg salad, hard boiled eggs for FAST snacks, raw eggs of course. Applesauce, no sugar pudding cups. Whole-wheat thin sliced bread. Whole-wheat mini bagels. Lettuce's, tomatoes, peppers, onion,  pineapple, melon, limes. Salad dressings, other usual condiments and marinade's, steak sauce, butter of course. Milk, juices for DH, iced-tea, chilled water. Bacon of course ! Andes mints chilled...tiny for a little bit of chocolate.

In the pantry is protein supps, ready made up mini bags of vits that I make ahead of time, wheat crackers, cereal for DH, wheat saltines for recipes, few cans of soups for casseroles, canned beans of several varieties. Brown rice, wheat noodles for when DH craves spaghetti, as then I can have a little bit. Peanut butter, various normal baking items such as choc chips, mixes for last minutes potluck needs at church. Coffee, tea, A variety of nuts and snacks such as protein bars, beef sticks. Tortilla chips that DH likes. Just the Cheese snacks, love these when I want something crunchy. A variety of dry seasoning packages of ranch dressing, Italian, taco seasoning, beef seasoning for crockpot cooking.

In the freezer are steaks, frozen ready to cook burgers, ribs, ground chuck, shrimp, crab, brats, all beef hot dogs (dh likes those - ick !) , skinless chicken , fish filets, pork roast, beef roast,  sausage, all bought in bulk and divided up frozen and then thawed for cooking throughout the month.   I hate to grocery shop every week and try to go one or twice a month with only little fill-in trips for fresh stuff. A few flavors of ice cream, ice pops root beer flavor, great in the heat of the south! Extra butter that was on sale. Wheat thin buns for burgers, whole wheat hot dog buns for brats or hot dogs. Freshly frozen strawberries and blue berries as there were too many to eat right away. Small bag of frozen peanut butter cups off brand for when I want a little snack with chocolate. Lots of frozen veggies in smaller pkgs, cauliflower, broccoli, lima beans, corn, peas, green beans, probably a few others.

I think that covers most items, gesh that is a lot, but that was my stock up trip to the store. Then I decide day to day what to thaw to make for dinner. My eyes are still bigger than the tummy and we often have leftovers. I have been trying to downsize the dishes I prepare.

Yikes!  I just finished cleaning it out this AM so I can just fill it back up again... so here goes:

-1 organic/free range chicken slow cooked in crockpot with celery, onion carrots from our gardens- and of course- the broth
-10 pounds- yes- TEN pounds of fresh blueberries from the local Menonite farm ( I am canning and freezing on Saturda.)
-Fresh basil, thyme, rosemary ( about 3 cups each) for making herb jelly for the fall and winter months- yum!
-36 eggs-
-1 container of egg whites- "Just Whites"
-2- 1/2 gallons milk- one LF, one regular
-1 half and half- sorry- my downfall- gotta have a bit in the AM java! 
-1 pint of heavy cream- okay another confession- my DH makes homemade ice cream in the summer- but I swear I don't indulge- besides eventually it goes in to the freezer and you didn't ask about that! Ha.
-Low -at mozzarella cheese
-2  salmon filets
-Grape tomatoes
-White rice
-Fiber One yogurts- key lime and strawberry flavor
-LF sour cream
-Black beans- cooked and ready to go! 
-Crystal light iced tea
-Cold decaf coffee- Hazelnut- for coffee coolatta later
-Zucchini stir fry for dinner tonight
-1/2 loaf of multigrain (high-fiber) bread
-1 pound of butter for chocolate chip cookies for kids-

Now- don't ask about those cabinets- that's my DH's domain- from larded down chips to peanut butter and chocolate. Sigh. 

It is a learning experience to have good food in the house from all the food groups and still have food that others eat (unabashedly, I might add!) stored for them.  But, my band keeps me satisfied and losing- from my heaviest- 78 pounds so far- from surgery- 33 pound. (surgery date: May 4 2010.) Yeah Lap-band!

Well my fridge is stuffed as usual but it's pretty much all healthy stuff that I can eat. A number of ancient jars of condiments that should be tossed and perhaps a few ufo's (unidentified food objects) .But here is something interesting. Sometimes I buy things I intend to use like fat free sour cream or fat free ricotta or a quart of skim milk  but I don't get it used before the expiration date. so it gets tossed. I seem to want to keep a pretty good variety of choices for whatever my itty bitty tummy desires and therefore have more than I need. shopping at Costco exacerbates this. But it's better to toss food than eat stuff you don't need and even if I were tempted, good ol' sleeve won't let me. what a great thing. need to clean it out and toss the trash. D

I'm in the liquid stage, so not much of anything. There's some butter and cheese in there because it (hopefully) won't go bad before we can eat it. As for real food, we have milk, carrots, apples, pudding, yogurt, and some leftover Mac n cheese in there for the kiddo. About 30 bottles of water, some Jell-O, some SoBe drinks, and some Gatorade. Seriously, the thing looks not at all like normal.

I guess I've just got regular stuff in the fridge like salad greens, peppers, salmon, tofu, yogurt, milk, cherries, watermelon, eggs, iced-tea, soy milk, salad dressings, etc., BUT, I've gotten into a really bad habit, I think, which is very wasteful and I'm wondering what you all do.  Because we eat such small portions, I end up with little plates with my left over's on them in the fridge which I plan to use for lunch tomorrow, or dinner the day after, etc. Sometimes then I find I don't feel like eating that left over salmon and asparagus or whatever it is and then I forget about it and it is wasted.  I've gotten into a bad habit of doing this.  I've also gotten into a bad habit of not eating a proper lunch and just having a little snack on my way to do errands because I don't want to take the time to sit and eat.  I feel like because I don't feel hungry I don't have to take the time and I can get away with eating a cheese string and a few cherries or couple bites of fruit whereas I know this is not the best choice on a regular basis.  I guess it's laziness...
