Hi guys.  I hear a lot of good things about Trader Joe's.  I just found one not too far from me and I will make the trip tomorrow.  I'm getting seaweed.  Having never been there before, do you all have any "must gets" that I should pick up?

Yes!  Peanut Butter Four.  You can make so many things with it and it is really low carb, and low fat.  I love it.  Fage yogurt.  I use it to make dressings and dips.  They have great turkey meatballs.  Low-fat cheeses, smoked Gouda is my favorite.  I'll keep thinking about it,

What is Peanut Butter Four, and where do we find it in the store?

I saw that and picked some up.  Is it the same as pb2, or different.  After picking it up I found I had some PB2 in my cupboards I forgot.

I'll have to look for some recipies to use it... Thanks.

 Thanks Elina.  I'll look for the turkey meat balls, I need a change in pace.  Peanut Butter four???  Did you mean flour?  Is that like PB2?  I'll check out the cheeses too, I live on cheese and peanut butter!  I can't wait to try the Seaweed chips

Yes, I am sorry, I didn't proof read it.  I mean Peanut Butter Flour.  I bake with it.  I have a great cookie recipe with it.  It comes out to 30 cals. a cookie with 3 g. of protein, under 2 carbs and 1.5g. fat.  I made it for Jimbo's party.  It went over pretty well.  You can use it instead of PB2.  I love it.  You can also google recipe's with it, there is a ton of them out there.  It is really versatile.  On the seaweed, do try one before buying up the store as some people hate it and it's better to find out and throw away .99 than buying a lot and hating it.

I lost my TJ virginity just a couple of weeks ago!  I spent a lot of money, but haven't tried most of what I bought.  I tried hummus for the first time and love it! 

I need to start trying some of the things I bought.  I bought several frozen foods after getting suggestions from others on OH. 

Here is a link to some other JT OH requests.  http://www.obesityhelp.com/search/action,search_forums/?q=tr ader+joe&cx=000946886326336472648%3Au5ypdm9novs&cof=FORID%3A 9#994

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

That's funny!  Was it worth losing your virginity????  I know I ventured to one health food store that took 2 hours to get to.  Bought $100 worth of stuff and ended up wasting most of it!  I'll be more discerning this time!
