You can buy reusable plastic restaurant take outfood containers w lids at restaurant supply stores . They're cheap ( Way way way cheaper than say Tupperware ) and freeze and dishwash ok .. good for two or three uses each in my experience . Just label what you put in there and take them out the plastic (run ho****er over the container ) here you microwave on a plate . Instant healthy tv dinners - as a former law student and now busy working person I lived and live on these pre-made healthy tv dinners .

Sooo, I'm trying to stay ahead of the busy grad student curve balls this semester - no excuse for eating junk! I was wondering if anyone had suggestions to meal plan for one. I have Plan to Eat which I'll be using that's for sure. I'm seventy days or so from surgery and can eat anything, and I'm sticking to 40-50g of carbs a day or less (net).
What's the best way to freeze single 4oz portions for a month? Can you freeze mason jars (dumb question, I know)? I'd prefer reusable options rather than ziplocks, but I'll do ziplocks if I must.
Thanks:)
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

There are a handful of foods that the ASMBS recommendations say to eliminate https://asmbs.org/resources/integrated-health-nutritional-gu idelines (see table toward the bottom of this document), and a few you will either not be able to tolerate (this varies from person to person and changes with time) or might want to eliminate because that are triggers or you lack control with.
You are welcome to take a look at my blog (link in signature) to see what my eating life is like post-RNY.
You need to refrain from slider foods, now and post surgery.

Congrats on the progress so far. I am 8 weeks out now myself. I ave found that eating Tilapia is my easiest for protein and light on the stomach (as well being cheap). You can cook it many ways because it absorbs any flavor you combine with it. I like a like olive oil and garlic. It is so full of protein you can add a table spoon or two of soft veggies (carrots steamed). I bought the big frozen bags at Walmart for $10 and they are perfect size at 2.5 oz each. I used to be a cook so if you need any idea just message me.
****also get an app on computer or phone for high protein food list*****
The list of no-no foods depends on what stage you are on. I think for most people you could eventually eat most things, but the better question is do you want to? Even with fear of dumping most people could take a bite or two of something sweet, just not the whole piece. Most people including myself, would tell you to stay away from the starchy type carbs as long as you can. I am 13 months out and one of my favorite foods... pizza is no longer a craving. I've had pizza 3x since surgery and it was always because I was out with other people... You have to know yourself, I have Sugar Free ice cream in the freezer, and I barely think about it, if I buy Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, I will eat them everyday until they are done. You have to get to know yourself....

I would check with my doctor & my dietian; Every one's response to soft foods may be different; my go to's have been cottage cheese and yogurts (plain, or sugar free fruit.) I will tell you that anything you choose check the labels; 5-10-15 rule: fat no more than 5 grams of fat, try to find foods with 10 grams or less of sugar, (prevents dumping) 15-20 grams or less of carbs. That has helped me so far. (Down 50 lbs from 265lbs) I had my surgery in April 2015. Good Luck!
