Yes, i eat them when i'm "busy" or lazy lol They are perfect lapband portions. I normally add a fruit to it or sugar free pudding : )

The downfall is they do have MSG ( chicken ones ) and alot of sodium. But overall the taste isn't bad. They have alot to pick from.

I also eat them occasionally. The main problem I find is that they have lots of rice/pasta/sauce and very little meat.< /p>

I do eat them for work lunches or if I'm lazy at dinner. Portion size is just right! But yes as Elcee says, many don't have a lot of Protein so I would look at the nutritional info to see which have the most.

I ate lean cuisines before I started this so at least I like them, I think most of them taste pretty good or maybe it's because it's not a Protein Shake that I welcome them, lol. They are high in sodium and wish they had more Protein, maybe we need to write them about that! lol But the sodium is to help in freezing them I think and the portions are great for banding, I will continue to use them in the future I'm sure!

I've never cared for the "healthier" frozen Entrees, and especially now would be looking at the nutrition label closely.

I'ts just as easy for me to purchase a rotisserie chicken and a pre-made basic fresh salad, probably stems from how I was raised.

My mother and my grandmother before her were into healthy eating and avoiding sugars, sodium, and processed foods in general years ahead before it became mainstream.

Thanks for the responses. I don't plan to use them often...but I think I am going to include them when needed.

      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
