Trader Joe's is a great place for lapbanders

Regarding pricing here in the Greater Boston, MA area their prices are lower than our regular grocery stores. Sad but true.

Honk- I am from the boston area as well- metro west :). And I agree- often TJ's is a better bargain than the regular store, except maybe market basket....

When I don't want to travel 30 miles to Trader Joe's, I shop at my Fresh N Easy store. They have packages of individual servings as well as family size which are fresh, yummy and tasty. I buy my chicken breast pieces pre-cooked from them. They are chopped up already and I take 2-3 oz to work for lunch.

Being single, I don't cook for myself much and I can afford to buy ready made.

I'm in south Florida and I've never seen a Trader Joes. It sounds very similar to Whole Foods.....

Anyone know if they are pretty much the same?

Trader Joe's is less expensive and usually smaller than Whole Foods, but they operate on somewhat of the same premise. I love TJ's because I can buy frozen dinners that don't taste like cardboard and they have so many yummy, good for you foods! They don't always have a big selection of fruits though.

Looks like there are two TJ's in FL:

4101 S Tamiami Trail

Sarasota, FL 34231

3724 SW Archer Rd

Gainesville, FL 32608

Isn't there one in ft worth tx??

Looks like there are 6 in Texas, one in Ft. Worth:

2701 S Hulen St

Fort Worth, TX 76107

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
