I just wanted to share some costco finds that are Bariatric friendly. I found these this week and they have made my meal planning super easy!

-Sukhi chicken Tikki Masala: 1/2 cup is about 145 calories with 17 grams of Protein. The box comes with 2 bags. One bag provided me with three 1/3 cup servings and one 1/2 cup serving. I’m freezing the other bag for another time!

-Sous Vide egg bites: one egg bite is 145 calories with 9 grams of protein

-Paleo Chicken Sausage: 1 link is 160 calories with 16 grams of protein

-Fairlife chocolate Protein Drinks

If anyone has any other great Costco finds to share please do!

I can't find fairlife anywhere around me.

Premier always has chunks and sludge like stuff in it, I strain it and it taste fine, but it is gross and annoying. I have had this with my last 8 cases!

I am so frustrated with trying to find shakes. I have tried multiple different brands but really only these 2.

I have never been a Breakfast eater, so shakes always worked for me but now I am dealing with this.

I do like some powders but they get the throffy when I mix them and the texture starts to gross me out.

Most Protein Drinks don’t agree with my stomach and didn’t before surgery either. Fair life is one of the few that I digest easily and tastes delicious. My costco has had them regularly, I’ve also seen them at BJs, and my area’s grocery stores - Wegmans. You can order them on Amazon but they’re much more expensive that way. At Costco it’s $28.49 for 18 bottles which is the best price I have found.

Yeah, I have a Bjs card, but I actually checked at Same and Costco this weekend and only found caramel. I was ordering them on Amazon, but stopped because they are almost twice a much as they should be.

I am just so frustrated with it all and just need to figure out something else for Breakfast.

But, I really like the Protein boost of the shakes too. UHG!!

I have friends who have memberships keeping an eye out for me too.

Sams has Fairlife too, it's in the area with Vitamins though, so it's easy to miss.

Try the 1st Phorm Shakes. They mix better than others, I too have texture issues so I get it.

I found the elite 42g shake, which is a life saver when I'm sick and do not want to eat or drink much. I also got the Quest Protein chips to munch when pms'ing and the Gatorade zero which has 10g of protein. Protein I have stuck with premier but have tried all flavors mainly from Sam's, since costco seems to be out of them a lot.

      Less than a week before gastric bypass surgery. I'm nervous but excited. Been lurking here for a while, reading. I'm about ready as I'm going to get. Down 20 pounds in 3 months. A ton of pre op testing done and cleared. Food/drinks, chewable vitamins, protein, meds bought. On 2-week preop diet now which includes 2 protein shakes a day along with 3 ounces lean protein and 2 1/2 C.  non starchy veggies and is totally do able for me. Clear liquid day before surgery. A full sugar Gatorade night before  and again 2 hrs before arriving at the hospital. Interesting how different everyone's diets are depending on your doctor.
      I'm optimistic all will go well. Good luck to the April surgeries happening this month and to all that are going through the process.  {{hugs}}

      195 weight when I went in for surgery
      199 weight when I got home for surgery
      193.2 weight 4 days after surgery
      If the inflammation from surgery is resolved, I've lost 1.8lbs in 4 days.

      Had surgery last Thursday, so I've been home for 2 days as of 15 minutes ago.  I weighed more when I got discharged than when I went in despite only having eaten a Jello cup in 2 days, but I put that down to inflammation. This morning I weighed a little less than I went in.  I sneezed last night and my fiance saw me cry for the first time, and we've been together 16 years. I took my multivitamin first thing this morning and threw up. Kept it down after drinking 4oz protein shake. Yogurt gives me diarrhea, water hurts more than the fuller liquids, and my stomach is turning somersaults and I think I'm hungry because I'm used to interpreting it that way, but I have no desire to eat.
      My biggest problem is that I am used to being busy.  I own a business and I've been getting active on these boards, and when I'm on my laptop I forget to drink. Will I hurt myself if I drink faster?  I've been scheduling 4oz every 30 minutes with breaks before and after meals.  Is it too fast to drink 4 oz in 15 min to get caught up on what I missed?

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        I had the same issue. My scale was 6 pounds heavier than my bariatric doctor's. My scale agreed with my nutritionist's scale. I asked my bariatric doctor to have her scale recalibrated and she said it was a really expensive scale, so she trusted it. So, when it comes down to it, the scale that matters isn't the one that's right, it's the one that determines if you get your surgery or not. I would ask her when it was last calibrated and see if she will calibrate it. The difference is I Iost weight so well on the lifestyle change diet that I had to stop losing weight or risk not getting the surgery.
