Bag Lunch



Recommended Posts

Am going on an outing next week. One of the requirements is to bring a bag lunch because we will be out all day. I can not eat breads and hard fruits, so what is the best things to pack so that I don't get hungry and I am not outcasted because I'm not eating with everyone else. Not very many ready to eat foods out there.

I'd take one of those small one meal tuna things that come with crackers, applesauce or make a bean salad and put it in a little container. You can use cool packs to keep this fresh. Oh, ya don't forget Water with a flavor packet.

PS why does it have to be ready made?

Make it at home and pack it. j/s

I can make it from home. Most likely what I will do. tuna sounds great. Didn't think about that. Went into panic mode and couldn't sort things out in my head. Apple sauce sits heavy in my chest for some reason. Imma see if I can find the cool packs. I live in the deserts of California so a lot of convient stuff is not available. 45 min to nearest town.

If you can't find cool pack just put ice cubes in a ziplock bag. I'd double bag it just in case of a leak.

Those tuna kits are great. I take them when I chaperone my son's field trips with his class. They come with pre-mixed tuna salad and crackers. They're perfect.

I also keep Protein Meal Replacement bars in my purse just in case I find myself in a situation I can't find any band friendly meals.

P.S.- the tuna kits don't have to be kept cool, either.

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

      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

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?

      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! 😞
