Plastic in my lean cuisine!



Recommended Posts

You know how little we eat anyway. Well who wants plastic in there food!!!

I made myself the Stoffers chicken Enchilada Suisa fr diner tonight.

My bits aren't that bag but they are not tinny either.

As I'm eating this I see what looks like an onion. I did think that was kind of wierd. I pulled the onion out only to find out that it was a THICKER piece of plastic.

I have no idea if it was my nerves or not but I still feel like I have something stuck in my throat. I tried drinking hot tea, Water and some crackers. It feels better, but still there.

I called Stoffers and guess what they are sending me more coupons for more plastic!! I could care less about the free meals! I'm just conserned about my band and how this piece of plastic is going to go through!!!!

That's nasty Dianne! Must be in the air....last week my husband fixed my son a packet of hot chocolate. After 2 sips he looks down and realizes there are 15 dead tiny ants floating in the cup!!! The packet was never opened so it must have happened at the factory. I know the cup didn't have any ants, it had just come out of the dishwasher. I wrote to Nestle, guess what I'm getting.....like you.....coupons for more dead ants!

I hope you are feeling better. Maybe your head is messing with your body. I don't know why, but sometimes just the thought that you might have swallowed something you shouldn't gives you the creeps.

Hope all is ok with you and your band and that you didn't swallow and plastic.

I do have to say though,...

Another notch in the belt for the frozen dinner saga!

I was 4 months pregnant when I was at work and heated up my

HEALTHY CHOICE dinner and sat down to eat, the whole breakroom was full. I was told my eyes were like saucers and my face went pale white.

Kyle one of the employees was sitting across from me and said "what?"

Low and behold... was a COCK ROACH! Antennas and all. Talk about adding to my nausea I already had!

And guess what they wanted to send me......

Yep you guessed it more cock roaches.

I complained and complained and threatened and still was told "We are sorry mam but all we can send you is a refund and coupons for free Healthy Choice in the future.

I told her to send my refund and keep the coupons for herself and that I would let everyone I could know of the little critter I found in their meal. To this day I have done just that every time I am picking out a Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine and someone is next to me at the frozen isle, looking at a Healthy Choice meal, I show them which dinner had a FREE GUEST included in the entree!

Sorry to have grossed anyone out, but I just had to share my story with you.

Sorry about your misfortune!

I'm not kidding you...I think I had a piece of plastic in the Lean Cuisine chicken Enchilada a few years back!! I also remember something funky with a Healthy Choice product -- not as gross as a cockroach. And, I had a bone in some StarKist boneless albacore tuna not too long ago. I guess these things happen, but they can do better than coupons!

Hope the plastic wasn't too disruptive on your band -- or elsewhere. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
