I'm pre-op and trying to get my weight down before the main event. The shakes are not even in the equation at this point because I REFUSE to choke down another until I absolutely have to, so I'm still getting all of my nutrition from food.

When I was yo-yo dieting like damned fool, I did atkins for a little while and felt like death.

But I took someone on here's advice and did the 50/30/20 rule with my food and kept to the calorie count my nutritionist recommended.

It had been hit or miss because I suck at Breakfast and I have to use the office kitchen to make lunch, but these have been a lifesaver.

I had the steak scramble this morning that was delicious and so filling I didn't need my mid-morning snack. And the chicken marsala I had for lunch was so good I want to track down a recipe to make at home.

I even pick at these meals 4 weeks post-op (I edit out the really chunky stuff). Only eat few bites with a little fork, but they're a nice addition to my Greek yogurt & tuna:).

It's comforting to know there will be things that are yummy that I can eat after the fact too!

I agree I discovered them last week they are delish!

I have tried nearly every "Diet" meal on the planet, and these actually TASTE like food.

I was shocked. The Chili con Carne is actually pretty good too. The Italian-style Pasta bake was OK, but lately pasta's been doing weird things to my blood sugar.
