Hello, wondering when you go to Costco what are some good things to buy for pre and post op? I go in there and feel overwhelmed...?

Costco has amazing veggies. They also sell a veggie tray with carrotts, broccoli and califlower plus ranch dip, The ranch dip is pretty low in sugar too.

Premier protein

Thanks!!

That's where I get my Premier Protein. Cheapest price around.

I went to Costco yesterday for toiletry items...and it’s the absolute worst for WLS patients I feel like pre-op or directly post-op lol. I may feel this way because I am on liquid diet too

but i can only think of their protein products and vitamin supplements for directly pre-op/post-op

Peeled, deveined, uncooked shrimp (frozen); organic chicken breasts (freeze); wild caught salmon (frozen); cod (frozen); fruit (frozen); asian stir-fry vegetable mix (frozen); Roa's spaghetti sauce; premier protein shakes; canadian bacon; organic eggs, and gas for your car.

I get fresh fruits, veges and ground beef from local market. Otherwise, its Costco for me.

bags of their rotisserie chicken breast meat for cheap!

natural and uncured deli meats

jennie-o turkey (ground, cutlets, tenderloins, Italian sausage)

baby bel, laughing cow, string cheese

canned salmon, chicken

whole frozen green beans that are delish when cooked again

parmesan cheese crisps

jerkies, nuts

and of course, everything else that was added here by others

My go-to items at Costco are protein shakes, protein bars, ground turkey, frozen chicken burgers, frozen green beans, vitamin water zero, cheese sticks and fresh fruit/veggies. I also get my vitamin D, probiotic, gasX and Miralax there. Yep - we shop at Costco far too frequently!

A word of caution....I stocked up on protein powder and drinks before my surgery and afterwards I couldn’t stand the taste. So maybe be cautious how much you buy for afterwards until you see what your taste and tolerant level is.

Chobani yoghurt drinks are pretty good!
