Weight Loss Surgery Shopping Companion

Your practical guide to confident supermarket shopping after bariatric surgery.

Supermarket shopping after weight loss surgery can feel confusing. Labels are crowded with numbers, products all claim to be “high protein” or “healthy,” and it can take far too long to decide what actually belongs in your trolley.

The Weight Loss Surgery Shopping Companion takes the guesswork out of it.

This easy-to-use guide shows you exactly what to look for on the Nutrition Information Panel across a wide range of everyday food categories, including:

• Bread, wraps and flatbread
• Crackers and crispbread
• Breakfast cereals, porridge, oats and cereal biscuits
• Muesli and granola
• Rice, pasta and noodles
• Deli meats, sausages, burgers and patties
• Frozen chicken, fish and seafood
• Tinned fish and vegetarian proteins
• Milk and milk alternatives
• Yoghurt, cottage and cream cheeses
• Ice cream and dairy desserts
• Oils, spreads, nut pastes and butters
• Nuts and seeds
• Liquid breakfast options
• Frozen, fresh ready meals and shelf-stable meals
• Soups
• Muesli bars, savoury snacks and dips
• Protein bars, powders and drinks
• Sauces, condiments and simmer sauces

Inside, you will also find over 180 Top Picks. These are specific supermarket products that meet appropriate post-surgery criteria, so you can shop with confidence and save valuable time.

Instead of standing in the aisle comparing labels, you will know exactly what numbers to check and which products are suitable.
