Sam's Club Items to Buy Post Op?
on 7/28/12 10:02 pm - Jacksonville, FL
What are some good items to buy at Sam's Club for post-op sleevers? Right now since I'm still on the liquid diet I only get my RTD Protein (Premier Protein) and bottled water there. However, I wanted to get some suggestions for later from others that are further along in the post-op phase.
Thank you!
Regards,
Larry

I posted on the Costco question stating that I shop at Sam's -- they both carry pretty much the same things -- prices vary somewhat, but also close.
My shopping list was for stocking up on Premier Protein shakes -- chocolate and vanilla -- at Sam's they are $18.88 for a 12 pack of 11 ounce shakes. I also bought about 10 pounds of ground turkey breast -- extra lean (99% lean, 1% fat). I use that for browned ground meat in sloppy joes, loose meat in spaghetti sauce, tacos, and then mixed for mini-meatloaves and my home made Italian turkey meatballs. And if you don't use a Brita filter water pitcher for your drinking water, Sam's always has great prices on bottled water. I always but a couple of dozen eggs when I'm there, too. They have excellent meats and poultry in the meat cases. I have always bought their chicken breasts, even pre-VSG.
The best thing I can tell you is to take a cart and walk around the store where they have fresh stuff -- forget most of the canned and processed foods areas. Each plan is different, so I'm not buying much fresh veggies or fruit -- another month and I will start doing that. I get a bag of onions and some garlic -- use those in many things. And zip by the herbs and spices area -- you can put a lot of zing in your meals with those.
Hope this helps.
