Morning Star products

I was wondering if anyone has used the Morning Star soy products.   I have looked at them at the grocery store but have not bought them yet since I am only 2 weeks out.   Any sugestions you have will be appreciated. Thank you and thank you Estelle for leading me to this group.   Looking forward to learning and finding new friends here. Michelle

I've had the chick n nuggets - not bad, tasted like the real thing to me. That's the only thing I've tried so far.

I liked the broccoli and cheese nuggets, I think they are morningstar.  I had them pre-op, I haven't had anything post-op.  However, I did NOT like boca burger pre-op and don't intend to try it post-op. 

I have not tried the Morning Star soy products, but I've tried some of the Boca products.  I did not care for the texture of the things I tried, so don't eat these regularly.  I'm not a vegetarian, but was just exploring different food options.  I will say that the texture of the Boca burgers was much "softer" than ground beef, so my pouch probably would have tolerated it pretty well early now.  I say try them if you're interested and if you like them, keep them on the menu!   By the way, welcome to our little corner of the internet.  We're a pretty friendly bunch and look forward to having you in our fold, so to speak!   Kellie

Hi Michelle, Welcome to the group! Pre-op I used to eat the Morningstar Farms Mini-corn dogs all the time! i loved them! however i have had them once since and they sooo were not the same...i was so sad...   I also tried the spinach, artichoke and cheddar bites once and they were awful! they smelled horrible when they were cooking and they tasted worse... every once in a while i add the "beef" crumbles to soups, and they're not bad, but i don't like them plain. Good luck, give em a try, everyone's tastes are different... ~Lori

Hi Michelle!  We have the same awesome doctor group...I had my RNY in November.  Estelle is awesome!  Welcome!!! Maybe I'll see you at a support group meeting some time!  I have never tried those products...you be brave and then maybe I'll try them! LOL   Jeanine

Thank you ! I agree we have a great group of doctors. When I try them I will let you know, I have head hunger but not giving in!!! I usually go to the meeting in Saraotga but not in March since that is my first day back at work. Estelle has been a great help to me. Looking forward to talking with you more!

Michelle...

What exactly are you going to try...are they tofu burgers or something like that?  I don't think I've ever seen them.  Make sure you get in lots of protein and that will help with the head hunger.  Nice to meet you!!   Jeanine
