Thought it might be fun to get some recommendations for new grocery items to add to my shopping list. Spices, grab n go items, anything really.

I’ll add a couple of my new faves below!

Yes! It’s thicker and has a better flavor. To me it taste like “real” bbq sauce. I won’t buy the original sugar free one anymore. I thought the original was ok.

Awesome. Thanks.

Skinnygirl fat-free, sugar-free salad dressing is amazing!

I've tried the buttermilk ranch, roasted garlic vinaigrette, balsamic vinaigrette, honey dijon, and poppyseed, and I love them all. They all have 10-15 calories in a 2-tbsp serving. $1.98 at Walmart.

I am still having a really hard time eating salad. I have a hard time digesting raw veggies. I am close to being 9 months out, and I feel like I should be fine at this point? When I am able to eat it again, I can't wait to try these dressings. They look yummy.

Have you tried the chopped lettuce at the store That comes in the bags someone told me that lettuce is hard for everyone to digest and that the chopped lettuce is much easier on our stomachs. So far I’ve only tried the chopped variation so I can’t say for sure whether it makes a difference but I was told that by someone who heard it from a doctor.

I think I was about six months out when I could eat them -- but raw vegetables still irritate my stomach sometimes even at six years out.

Unfortunately I doesn't matter as I have tried different types of lettuce also. I can tolerate baby spinach a little bit more sometimes.

Just found new Quest Peanut Butter cups at Walmart. It’s not a Reece’s cup but I will definitely be buying again for chocolate cravings.

I bought these on my work trip this week after seeing your post, but I wasn't hungry enough to eat it (it's still pretty high in calories). I guess I'll save them for a chocolate craving. If I ever find where I put them in my suitcase!

I have heard that spring mix is easier to digest than iceberg or romaine. Have you tried that? I'm sorry you have a hard time with veggies! I haven't had surgery yet, but that would be so hard for me, because I live on salads now.

Yea they are definitely not an everyday food but I only crave chocolate once a month and they are way better than Reece’s. Plus a serving size is two cups and I just have one.

I have not tried spring mix. I will have to do it because I love salad. TY for the idea.

When I get a chocolate craving, I eat tiny mini dark choc chips from Nuts.com. I only eat a very small amount and it gets rid of the craving. I put them on yogurt, in my cereal, mixed with nuts, etc. I usually eat a tiny bit every day and its perfect. The only almonds & walnuts that I eat are whole, raw from Nuts.com also and there are no better tasting walnuts that I have tried so far.

I find these at costco. They are so creamy and so much cheaper than the Starbucks egg bites. The Flavcity guy recommended them too. They also have a ham and cheese one too.

These are my absolute favorite! This flavor particularly is the best of all of them in my opinion.
