OMG, I totally love TJ's. My food diary in MFP is covered up in Trader Joe's stuff. Their chicken sausages are great...my faves are the spinach-fontina & the basil-pesto ones. They also have frozen turkey meatballs that are great & frozen turkey "muffins" with spinach & a little bit of mashed potatoes on top. Frozen spinach kale bites are another fave. Plus they have great cheeses, salami, proscuitto, hummus, etc.

Just have fun. There is a lot of great stuff to explore.

Oh so much to choose from! I love their already cooked and cleaned frozen shrimp as well as their tuna in curry sauce. I have also been scarfing down various flavors of goat cheese too. I also snack on the raw cashew pieces and buy Think Thin bars there.

Here's the list I posted on MFP - stuff that's often on my shopping list at TJ's:

turkey bacon, chicken jalapeno sausages, fat free refried Beans, nonfat cottage cheese, frozen organic blueberries, raspberries, & strawberries (add a quarter cup to your Protein Shakes & blend to make a smoothie with extra fiber); balela salad (in the deli area near other salads & dips), babybel cheeses (best prices in town), roasted chicken patties (fresh, in prepared meats area), shredded swiss & Gruyere cheese, extra lean ground beef patties, spicy buffalo blue cheese chicken meatballs, canned white tuna with half salt, smoked sardines, smoked trout, frozen roast asparagus.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
