costco has amazing veggies. They also sell a veggie tray with carrotts, broccoli and califlower plus ranch dip, The ranch dip is pretty low in sugar too.

I went to costco yesterday for toiletry items...and it’s the absolute worst for WLS patients I feel like pre-op or directly post-op lol. I may feel this way because I am on liquid diet too

but i can only think of their Protein products and Vitamin supplements for directly pre-op/post-op

Peeled, deveined, uncooked shrimp (frozen); organic chicken breasts (freeze); wild caught salmon (frozen); cod (frozen); fruit (frozen); asian stir-fry vegetable mix (frozen); Roa's spaghetti sauce; Premier Protein shakes; canadian bacon; organic eggs, and gas for your car.

I get fresh fruits, veges and ground beef from local market. Otherwise, its costco for me.

My go-to items at costco are Protein Shakes, Protein Bars, ground turkey, frozen chicken burgers, frozen green Beans, Vitamin Water zero, cheese sticks and fresh fruit/veggies. I also get my Vitamin D, probiotic, gasX and Miralax there. Yep - we shop at Costco far too frequently!

A word of caution....I stocked up on Protein Powder and drinks before my surgery and afterwards I couldn’t stand the taste. So maybe be cautious how much you buy for afterwards until you see what your taste and tolerant level is.

      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.
