Yes, i eat them when i'm "busy" or lazy lol They are perfect lapband portions. I normally add a fruit to it or sugar free pudding : )

The downfall is they do have MSG ( chicken ones ) and alot of sodium. But overall the taste isn't bad. They have alot to pick from.

I also eat them occasionally. The main problem I find is that they have lots of rice/pasta/sauce and very little meat.< /p>

I do eat them for work lunches or if I'm lazy at dinner. Portion size is just right! But yes as Elcee says, many don't have a lot of Protein so I would look at the nutritional info to see which have the most.

I ate lean cuisines before I started this so at least I like them, I think most of them taste pretty good or maybe it's because it's not a Protein Shake that I welcome them, lol. They are high in sodium and wish they had more Protein, maybe we need to write them about that! lol But the sodium is to help in freezing them I think and the portions are great for banding, I will continue to use them in the future I'm sure!

I've never cared for the "healthier" frozen Entrees, and especially now would be looking at the nutrition label closely.

I'ts just as easy for me to purchase a rotisserie chicken and a pre-made basic fresh salad, probably stems from how I was raised.

My mother and my grandmother before her were into healthy eating and avoiding sugars, sodium, and processed foods in general years ahead before it became mainstream.

Thanks for the responses. I don't plan to use them often...but I think I am going to include them when needed.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
