katpulwers reacted to BaileyBariatrics in What's in your bento?
In a case of something that is old is new again: Have you ever used a bento box? The bento box dates back to the 5th century when Japanese farmers, hunters and warriors packed lunches in sacks or boxes. Farmers found that the seed boxes with multiple compartments worked better to transport their food. Instead of seeds, people used the different compartments to separate dishes like rice, vegetables and fish. The word bento comes from a word that means “convenient.” There are now bento boxes you can buy that can be plastic, glass or metal. Many now come with an insulated cover. You can find bento boxes in a variety of places including Walmart, Target, Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond. Look for bento boxes that have removable compartments that are microwave and dishwasher proof. This allows you to pack a lunch with food that needs heating. A kid’s size bento box will provide more help with Portion Control.
Small servings of leftovers, hard boiled eggs, drained canned fruit, deli meat, cubes of low-fat cheese, tuna and a marinated vegetable salad are just a few ideas of foods you can carry in your bento box. Pinterest has a lot of low carb, high Protein for food ideas to pack in a bento box: https://www.pinterest.com/baileybariatrics/food-storage-tips/.
So, what’s in your bento?

You will because you are prepared! It's definitely challenging to change the way we approach food, so having the knowledge and the right tools..that includes kitchen tools as well, will put you and keep you on the path to success in this weight loss journey. Next Sat is my 60th birthday, having an Italian heritage means we Celebrate with lots of food!! No dinner/cake for me this year, but the mirror is starting to reflect my 20 lb weight loss since the start of my pre- op diet on 8/22. Not bad for an old broad.. You will do great @@KristenLe!!

Is stage 2 for you full liquids?
At that point I was having Protein Shakes, sf pudding, Jello, sugar free popsicles, crystal light drinks, Bone Broth, and strained Soups. I tried to stick to the Protein shakes and bone broth for the most part because they were my main source of protein at that time.
Not the most fun stage, but I'm sure the pounds are just falling off of you at this point!
