Trader Joe's and Costco



Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm going to trader joes and costco today and would love to hear what are some of the VSG friendly foods you like to get at these stores?? I'm thinking of doing a grocery haul video after I go shopping.

Thanks!

I would love it if you did the video!! Trader Joe's is in Gainsville which is 1-2 hours from my house so I have to make it count when I go. I haven't been yet so this would be terrific. I know that www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com does a lot of her recipes etc. from there and I would like to get those products from that store. :) :) I wish I could go with you! Would you see if they have the individual mini mozzerella balls there. They look awesome for lunches.

Hear trader joes has great low carb tortilla wraps and probably carry the pittas I buy that are only 50 calories (Joseph flax and oat pitas).

At costco, if you are still doing Protein shakes, the premier Protein Shakes are great (RTD). I also love the teriyaki pinappe chicken meatballs by aidellS. Otherwise, I just buy veggies, meats, white canned tuna, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, bottled Water, toiletries, etc. from costco.< /p>

Thanks everyone for the suggestions some of them are a couple of my staples.

I'd love to go shopping with a couple of you to see what everyone buys. After I go today ill work on putting together a video.

Oh the Thai lime shrimp are my favorite but all the trader joes have been out in my area for the last two months! :(

Second vote for the TJ's chicken sausage. Very good and many flavors.

They also have a chocolate yogurt that's a great reward treat, and sometimes they have kale chips ready made too.

Great little TJ's find are the dark chocolate nibs, which are near the register. They're like tic tac sized chocolate bits that are awesome and nice to have for a little guilt free treat. Sprinkle a few in a yogurt or something. Like 1 or 2 calories each.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
