frozen dinners?



Recommended Posts

Yes, they are my best friend Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine. I buy chicken fettucinne, lasagna and steak with mash potatoes or steak with macaronni and cheese. Chicken carborna is good to and I love it.

The Lean Cuisine has a Steak with portabello mushrooms and broccoli that is okay. I think it is Weight Watchers that has chicken Marsala with broccoli that is good. I try to avoid the ones that have Pasta or potatos and there are actually a few out there!

I have to be real careful with frozen dinners...healthy or otherwise...they contain alot of sodium and usually when I have one...I can always see it in the scale the next day.

Dawg and I eat the Healthy Choice meals and I love Gorton's frozen fish fillets (unbreaded). It so fast to cook 1/2 cup of frozen veggies while the fillets are cooking in the microwave for 7 mins. What a meal! They have Lemon Pepper, Garlic Butter, and Blackened (too spicy for me without a drink). We checked out the sodium content on these meals and its relatively low.

I like Spicy Black Bean veggieburgers with mustard. They can be nuked in 45 seconds and they're quite high in Protein. Yum!

I live on the Lean Cuisine and Weight watcher meals that are what they call "carb conscious" and high in Protein, Thats my lunch every day, It keeps me eating healthy, when the middle of the day used to be my (eat anything and everything time) I no longer do that, an 7 - 8 oz micro meal fills me up and I'm good till dinner.< /p>

Lean Cuisine dinners are my favorites... I was completely stuck on the salsbury steak for a long time for lunches as it seemed to go down well. I also like the Smart Ones red Beans and rice. Oh... and Lean Cuisine's chicken carbonara is really good too. :)

Was wondering....how lmuch of a frozen meal can you eat? Can we eat the whole thing, or just 1/2 cup? I am so confused about this measuring thing.

I thought this was a good question too, and I was a little disapointed that no one replied. If you do come across an answer, please let me know!!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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!!
