Nope - courtesy of costco. Highly recommend these chicken skewers. Each one is about 10 g of Protein and is flavored with tasty herbs and spices.

They come out of the refrigerated section so, no, not frozen on purchase. I am not sure if they could be frozen or not.

They need to be eaten in a reasonable amount of time. They are separated into 3 sections, 4 in each section. Once you open a section, that section should be eaten in 3-4 days. The unopened sections would last until their expiration date which I recall being one month.

Not sure if SAMs has chicken skewers, but I do know they have yummy chicken teriyaki meatballs as does costco. Another alternative is 3 oz chicken sausages stuffed with cheese pieces and peppers or smoked apple flavor, etc. I lived on these 3 oz sausages for most of my post op because they were/are the perfect size for a meal.

Wow these are some great ideas! I'm five weeks out and I'm still trying to get the eating right. I've been inhaling way too many calories..about 1,000+ a day.

For snack I've been having individually packaged 2oz hummus from costco with two tablespoons of taziki yogurt&3 slices of roasted turkey from trader Joe's.

I'm so going to try the fruit with almond butter and chicken skewer/sausages next! Tnx :-)

You would not believe how many different chicken sausage options there are at costco. There are so many different flavors. Choose one you like, but I do suggest picking one that is very low in carbs. Some of them are a little on the high side (around 10-12 carbs per sausage). The one I eat has 2 carb per sausage and 16 g Protein.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
