Eh, that's not a deal breaker for me if I'm looking for occasional convenience.

I have a freezer full of them. I have liked everything so far.

Here's where we all show our differences. I think Atkins meals r icky. Haven't had the Pasta one, but the chicken Alfredo was really dry, the Beef Merlot was salty, and the Sausage and Peppers was really tough meat. And they're pricey. At our Walmart (Southern OR) they're close to $5.

My husband who's a low carber can eat 3 of them at once (he's definitely a volume eater). He'd much rather grill a chicken boob or a pork chop. He's not a fan of frozen meals period. Im all for convemience, but I just don't like em.

pre op I tried the Breakfast bowls and I really liked them. I haven't bought them yet post op because I knew I wouldn't be able to eat a whole one, but I like the idea of splitting them for 2 meals. I need to get some. Sometimes I just don't want to cook - especially for just me (kind of a waste of time). These would come in handy then.

That's really not bad especially if you are only eating 1/2 at a time - that's 380 per serving

My Walmart grocery store. I don't eat them often but this looked good and convenient. We'll see how it tastes.

Yeah thats what I thought :-) the other meals sound good too but the sodium varies from 760-1100 but again its not bad if we split in 2

I will definitely try the chili it sounds good

I have tried almost all of the pre and post op and they are delish! The chili is awesome per my husband. I bought two and he ate both for lunch two days in a row so I'm taking his word for it. Beef merlot is may favorite, then sesame chicken stir fry, chicken Alfredo, and crustless chicken pot pie. I haven't had the chicken Marsala, turkey breast or meatloaf yet but they are in my freezer. These are great for convenience and like others have said I can only eat half at time so the sodium doesn't bother me at all.

Does the net carb thing still apply to sleevers? Carbs minus fiber.

I asked my dr that and he said yes. The contradiction comes in on sweet things. Atkins markets those with net carbs as well but they count sugar alcohols or something similar. Those don't count. It's always carbs minus fiber.

      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!!
