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>

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
