I just went to costco today and felt that I had died and gone to bariatric heaven. I picked up the following for my boring high protien diet..........

chicken Chipolte patties (just eat with cheese and salsa)

Turkey Meatloaf in marinara sauce

Chicken Spice Skewers

Shrimp in a lime/garlic/cilantro marinade

Chioban Greek Yogurt in a case

Pork in Verde Sauce (only 160 calories and 27 G of Protein for 5oz!!)

Blueberries

I feel so good and like I can make it without cheating again! Yummy high protein food.< /p>

You also forgot the PREMIER brand chocolate Protein shakes. 30g Protein, 1 g sugar, something like 160-180 calories. It runs around $24 for 18. I am 1 week Post Op and I like it along w/ the EAS Myoplex chocolate shake too ( also sold there ).

We don't have a costco where I live now, but I did enjoy shopping there when I lived in NY.

Sugar is something I have to pay close attention to since my boyfriend is a diabetic. I am finding with most prepared foods there will always be sugar but as long as we stay at 10 grams or less per serving his blood sugar isn't really affected.

I normally don't eat breakfast so for me breakfast is my Protein Drink, but I hear egg beaters are suppose to be really good for you.. Haven't tried them yet but I want too.

I also have a Sam's card as well as costco and I really haven't noticed a difference in price. We just also go to costco more cause its closer and I think they have a better selection of fresh foods and meats.

Oh yeah theuy also have Shrimp Scampi that you can eat without adding it to Pasta and Tilapia fillets in a citris garlic pesto marinade. Most of the things do noy have too much sugar and are low in calories. It adds some zest to the usual boring options we have in order to stay on target.

That's where we do most all our shopping. They have good produce, and I love the frozen cod. They have many organic and all natural foods. We also get our chicken and ground turkey there.

I have done a lot of my shopping there for a long time I make chicken Parmesan with their Foster Farms chicken strips. I put spagetti sauce in a baking dish add the chicken and more sauce bake it and add Mozzarella cheese at the end. It's delicious and very low fat, etc. I also only eat whole wheat Pasta. They also have great frozen salmon pieces which are great as they are all individually wrapped. I don't drink Protein Drinks as I get plenty of Protein in my diet. They sell Fiber One bars there which are much cheaper than the stores.

I made their turkey meatloaf for dinner tonight and my whole family ate it and loved it. I was happy to not make 2 meals for the family (one for me and one for them). I had 4 oz and it only had 200 calories and I am really full.

      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!!
