Nope - courtesy of costco. Highly recommend these chicken skewers. Each one is about 10 g of Protein and is flavored with tasty herbs and spices.

They come out of the refrigerated section so, no, not frozen on purchase. I am not sure if they could be frozen or not.

They need to be eaten in a reasonable amount of time. They are separated into 3 sections, 4 in each section. Once you open a section, that section should be eaten in 3-4 days. The unopened sections would last until their expiration date which I recall being one month.

Not sure if SAMs has chicken skewers, but I do know they have yummy chicken teriyaki meatballs as does costco. Another alternative is 3 oz chicken sausages stuffed with cheese pieces and peppers or smoked apple flavor, etc. I lived on these 3 oz sausages for most of my post op because they were/are the perfect size for a meal.

Wow these are some great ideas! I'm five weeks out and I'm still trying to get the eating right. I've been inhaling way too many calories..about 1,000+ a day.

For snack I've been having individually packaged 2oz hummus from costco with two tablespoons of taziki yogurt&3 slices of roasted turkey from trader Joe's.

I'm so going to try the fruit with almond butter and chicken skewer/sausages next! Tnx :-)

You would not believe how many different chicken sausage options there are at costco. There are so many different flavors. Choose one you like, but I do suggest picking one that is very low in carbs. Some of them are a little on the high side (around 10-12 carbs per sausage). The one I eat has 2 carb per sausage and 16 g Protein.

      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.

      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!!
