We don't have one in my area. I've heard that soon we might get one in Houston, easily a 45-60 minute trip for me each way, but can't wait to check it out.

Someone should start a sticky thread with things to buy there so once it opens (if the rumors are true!), I'll have a full shopping cart!!

Turkey meatballs, light string cheese, hummus, bell peppers, salmon burgers, edamame, low calorie lemonade, chicken satay, apples, baby carrots, jumbo scallops, laughing cow light cheeses, should I go on? I love Trader Joe's. <3

I too love Trader Joe's. We have tried several of the premade meals such as eggplant Parmesan and we both love the flavor. They usually serve 3 so I have about 1/2 serving and this leaves a dinner and a lunch serving for my husband. I believe the prices are good and I know I couldn't make the dish for the price. I put the fresh meals in the freezer and they thaw and heat well. I heard the the produce guy tell a customer that they have produce delivered daily. The last time I was there I bought a bag of frozen shrimp/scallops/calamari. Has anyone tried this? How did you use it? We're you able to get the seafood past the band? Lots of questions?????

Ah I have never been inside a Trader Joe's but I think there is one about 45 minutes north from where we live, not sure if there are any others closer but might be worth looking into.

Speaking of new places, I finally went inside a Sam's Club last Fall and I did see lots of meats and things there that we could use here but I didnt think the membership versus how much we would actually shop there was worth the cost. Now if I had a BIG BIG house with lots of storage space, maybe. lol.

I've always wondered about Trader Joes. There's one here in downtown Chicago. From all the posts I think I should check them out :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
