So class starts today. I will be there for 4 houts and need something to bring to eat that doesn't need to be cooked/ heated. Any ideas? I was thinking meal bars but have never tried them. Are there any tasty low cal, low sugar ones out there?

I like Quest Bars and Pure Protein Bars so far.

I like to carry beef Jerky or turkey jerky with me for those times when I need something in a hurry.

You can find Protein bars at any drug store, GNC, or Walmart. Some of them are very good, and if you are concerned about carbs the Atkin's brand bars are really good and better for you.

I used to put Protein Powder in a mixer bottle then took a bottle of Water and mixed it up when I was ready to drink. Also I would take a little insulated lunch bag and pack fruit, veggies and string cheese

Good luck this semester, I started back today too :)

My school has microwaves, so this weekend I made a bunch of cupcake recipes and I have a little tiny lunch box that's fits 2 perfectly, and it has a little ice pack in the lid, its awesome so I do that. I throw a string cheese in, and I am good, but you could do cottage cheese & fruit, egg salad, tuna salad, etc. I love the little box because I can't be lifting a lunch box around all day on campus.

lunch meat roll ups are a good idea too. Obviously can't leave them out all day but if you eat them in a few hours its okay. Hummus with cucumber chips- I do that a lot as a snack.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
