I usually have the same thing everyday. I am a creature of habit.(I just have to make good habits now :) ) I eat 1/2 full snack size ziplock bag of Special K (that's as close to measuring as I get), sugar free Jello, & a tangerine. It fills me up & it is very easy. I can keep all of it in my classroom so I don't have to worry about fixing lunches everyday.

Today is a turkey sandwich: Arnold select sandwich thins, deli sliced turkey, 2% cheese slice, mustard. 195 calories, 17g Protein, 24g carbs.

Also for Breakfast I make a burrito: ½ whole wheat low carb tortilla, ¼ cup egg beaters, 1/8 cup 2% shredded cheese, 1 oz deli sliced ham, bit of hot sauce or taco sauce. That has 150 calories and 19g protein, 13g carbs. It's really good!

Todd - What do you make your chicken salad with? I'm always looking for new ideas.

Most of these other tuna / chicken ideas sound awesome!

I'm definitely a seafood lover, and the shrimp and spinach salad sound soooo nummy! As does the smoked salmon.

These are all great ideas :-)

JOJO1 - your salad idea sound wonderful also. I love canned salmon. So, do you use any kind of recipe? Or just use whatever amount you're feeling up to that day ?

My lunch is usually the previous night's dinner. I always cook double portions so when I'm clearing the food away after dinner, I just pack everyone's lunch for the next day.

Thursday - chicken tenderloin (about 3 oz) that was dipped in egg and a mixture of flour and French's french fried onion rings and then baked and a small spring greens salad with caesar dressing.

Wednesday - 3 oz crab cake and a small salad made with spring greens and blue cheese dressing.

Tuesday - spinach and cheese filled ravioli with a small salad and italian dressing

Monday - 3 oz of thin sliced roast beef spread with a bit of mustard, sprinkled with shredded asiago cheese and then rolled up with a green onion. Small salad with caesar dressing and garbanzo Beans.

If I bring my lunch, it's usually tuna salad made with chopped celery, pepper, Old Bay seasoning and 1tsp of real mayo. I can't stand the low fat mayo; it ruins my whole lunch. I'd rather use less of the real thing. I also have some no sugar added apple sauce and 3 pieces of whole grain melba toast.

If I eat out, I'll treat myself to some grilled fresh fish and sauteed spinach at my favorite seafood joint, Legal Seafood. :)

Dontgoggilme . I'm on mushies too but we still eat lunch! I'd be interested in hearing what people on mushies eat as well.

I went out to lunch yesterday to a Mexican food restaurant. I selected a side order of refried Beans. It was delicious and I felt like part of the group. I know I missed my vege, but I don't think that is going to do much damage just this once.

Favorite mushie lunch so far. pureed chinese chicken and broccoli. I separated the broccoli and chicken before blending, measure 1/4 cup of each. Add 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce on the side and yum! I froze the leftovers in 1/4 cup little balls and pull them out and microwave when I need a quick lunch. Delicious.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
