Suzanne,

I hear ya, I love Trader Joe's and they have great

pricess on LARGE SHRIMP, as well as other products.

Lots of organics, etc. Really reasonable prices too!

The weight I lost prior to my surgery enabled me to

avoid having an open incision, in addition to

shrinking my liver!

Great advice for people in pre-op to hear!

Good luck,

Debi
