briefs199 337 Posted April 26, 2015 When did you have your surgery? I have not had much luck with traditional frozen meals because they all seem to have a lot of starch like rice as a base. We have a local food delivery service called Fresh Direct and they have a lot of fish and veggie frozen meals. Happy to hear you are doing well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KateP 359 Posted April 26, 2015 I tend to avoid frozen meals, even the ones which are not over-full of salt, simply because they tend to lack texture. Even meat is soft. So I can eat too much and they don't fill me. Couid you just make up a salad bowl of chopped veggies and chicken etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2babutterfly 483 Posted April 26, 2015 I eat them sometimes...great when you need to get out the door. Smart ones has some with higher Protein. I try to eat mostly the protein and veggie of it. Maybe a bite or two of the starch. I also make up batches of chili and chicken salad and separate into my small bowls and then I can grab them just as easy!

B-52 7,113 Posted April 26, 2015 Frozen meals such as these always contain Rice or Pasta...2 things I do not eat because of the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Can Do 12 Posted May 2, 2015 I have found some of the frozen meals very handy when I'm in a hurry. Most do have more salt if you have to watch that. Lean cuisine has some that don't have carbs in them. I had one this week that was just turkey and green Beans. Smart ones has some higher Protein ones too. Atkins has frozen meals that taste great but can only eat about half of that. Maybe too much fat to eat very often. I don't use them on a regular basis and I am still learning how to be successful with this whole process but sometimes I need a meal fast and this helps me. Glad you are doing well and losing weight. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
