  1. I had a gastric bypass surgery back in October. This is my first post. My question is: are these OK to eat? Is anybody else eating them? I've been eating them a couple weeks and there one of the few things that get me close to full. Ideas? Opinions?

    I've got a cousin in Washington Heights....easy ride up to her on the A train...LOL. I hardly ever cook...who does in this city, right? Anyway, it's easy to put your own meals together...and healthier too. You can PM me so I don't bore others on this thread and I can give you some of my personal experiences. I know everyone has their own way of doing things, but I'm finding it pretty easy to do it this way and it gives me a nice variety which helps not get bored with the same thing all the time. Oh and I also eat out regularly as well. I just make some better choices when looking at the menu and I do fine. I'm literally 30 feet from the A train on 181. Just moved up here recently. Because of this I had to give up my dunkin donuts, Starbucks Snacks, and this crazy Irish restaurant all within the same one block radius. I'll miss them forever, but I'm just happy I am not going to be described at "the fat one".

    I'm a Jerk, I thought you said you love the Army's meals. I was about to agree with you.I used to love MRE's. Crazy high in carbs though. Never heard of Amy's meals. I AM however eating freeze dried Army TYPE meals, they're from some barbaric company. They do AWESOME pancakes, and cheese steak macaroni. They have a vegetable & cheese omelet, but I wasn't too crazy about it, kind of dry tasting. Anyway, I'm taking ALL of everyone's advice seriously, writing it down, and I plan to try it until it doesn't all feel strange to me anymore. That part DOES change, right?

    They seem to see cheaper at Walmart. They also have a better selection than some of the grocery stores in my area. saw your username and knew you were upper east side. I'm in the West Village. I had lapband a little over a year ago. hope you are doing well. I stay away from frozen meals...lots of sodium even in the 'healthier' meals. I'll tell you what I do. I go to Citarella or Westside Market and buy their prepared food...fish and chicken mostly. I freeze the Protein into 3 oz. portions. I also get veggies there as well and freeze them in 1/2 cup amounts. I add some carbs...potato or rice...not much...about 1/4 cup and I have several ready to eat meals that are better than the TV dinner type meals. I havent learned to put my own meals together yet, still trying to figure this all out. Mainly looking to avoid sugars and fats, also watching carbs too.Nice to have a neighbor nearby, perhaps I can learn a few things about your shopping in Manhattan. FYI: I left the UES for Wash Hts about 2 yrs ago, I just been using this username for so long, I can't get myself to change it.

    I live in Manhattan, no Walmarts here.. The Atkins store locator says Gristedies supermarkets have them and there is one a 5 minute walk from me.. I'm going to go there today and pick up a few days worth. I don't know if Walmart does shipping of frozen foods, but I'll check them soon. Also, I'm not shilling, but you guys have to see this lunch bag perfect for us.. Holds 3 frozen meals, suppliments, and room left over for 4 large shaker cups/etc.. Look up 6 Pack fitness, I don't want to post the link here because I'm not sure of the rules. I'm a cop, work crazy hours that change often, this thing is awesome. They seem to see cheaper at Walmart. They also have a better selection than some of the grocery stores in my area.

    I didn't even know Atkins HAD meals! I always just followed their recipes. Thank you! I'll find them today.

    Thanks Kat.. It's important to me to hear it from people in the same boat. I do them and so does my husband - both RNY-ers. You have to be careful with the sodium and carbs in them. Most if them are very carb heavy. I can only eat a couple different ones with lower carbs. I do ok with the turkey tenderloins and green Beans. We only use them for quick lunches when we can't get something a bit healthier together.
  9. I was making fat free refried beans with ricotta. Not the best, but I felt almost like I was eating solids. Tricked my brain a little.

    pain in stomach through to back

    I know that this is a late reply , but this just happened to me. Later when I went to bed, laid on my stomach, I started burping and the pain started to go away. Hope this helps others who might go through this pain.. It IS pretty bad.
