OMG, I totally love TJ's. My food diary in MFP is covered up in Trader Joe's stuff. Their chicken sausages are great...my faves are the spinach-fontina & the basil-pesto ones. They also have frozen turkey meatballs that are great & frozen turkey "muffins" with spinach & a little bit of mashed potatoes on top. Frozen spinach kale bites are another fave. Plus they have great cheeses, salami, proscuitto, hummus, etc.

Have you tried thier spicy egg white salad? Delicious. when on solids I ate this almost every day for Breakfast. Still eat it for Breakfast a couple of times a week.

Just have fun. There is a lot of great stuff to explore.

Oh so much to choose from! I love their already cooked and cleaned frozen shrimp as well as their tuna in curry sauce. I have also been scarfing down various flavors of goat cheese too. I also snack on the raw cashew pieces and buy Think Thin bars there.

Here's the list I posted on MFP - stuff that's often on my shopping list at TJ's:

turkey bacon, chicken jalapeno sausages, fat free refried Beans, nonfat cottage cheese, frozen organic blueberries, raspberries, & strawberries (add a quarter cup to your Protein Shakes & blend to make a smoothie with extra fiber); balela salad (in the deli area near other salads & dips), babybel cheeses (best prices in town), roasted chicken patties (fresh, in prepared meats area), shredded swiss & Gruyere cheese, extra lean ground beef patties, spicy buffalo blue cheese chicken meatballs, canned white tuna with half salt, smoked sardines, smoked trout, frozen roast asparagus.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
