List your Favorite Mini Meals...



Recommended Posts

I'm on month number 15 from my sleeve surgery (revised from failed lap-band) and I've done well. I have lost 103 lbs. I've gone from my all time high of 249 down to 146 and i'm 5'1" but... I'm bored with food! I really tend to eat the same things day after day. I have literally eaten this same menu for over a year. The only time i sway is occasionally going out to eat and by that I mean like once a month, and I still only eat about seven bites of whatever it is. I need some new ideas. Here is a list of things I almost always eat. So tell me, what do you eat??

Breakfast (any one of the following)

Yoplait light yogurt

Quest vanilla Protein Bar

coffee

Egg Beaters

2 pieces of bacon

....Or about every three weeks I will have a Starbucks sugar free, hazlenut, breve, latte. mmmmmm

lunch (any one of the following)

Lean Cuisine Garlic chicken egg rolls (200 cals)

Tyson Chicken Breast salad on 5 crackers (250 cals)

Mini Lunchable

tuna

Snacks (or could be a meal)

24 Almonds

Pictsweet Edamame (my favorite snack of all time! and only 110 calories)

Sugar Free Jello

Black olives with Laughing Cow cheese wedge

Pickles and cheese stick

100 Cal Smart pop corn

Supper Consists of about five bites of these meats... (always grilled)

Chicken

Steak

Pork

Salmon

...and about four bites of veggies. All of the following veggies made with onion and cut up bacon...

Green Beans

Yellow Squash

Okra

Asparagus

Mixed Veggies

Broccoli

Question - Armadillo eggs are a vegetable? Are we thinking the same thing? Jalepeno Peppers stuffed with cheese and covered in Sausage and formed to look like an egg? or is this a vegetable I have never heard of?

My favorite min meal (office lunch) is hard bolied egg with a teaspoon of gulden's mustard, devilled eggs without the labor! and tuna made with Oilve Oil mayo and Guldens. RyKrisp or Wasa crackers.

dinner - I am a fresh grilled Protein kind of girl with a bite or two of vegetables...

- taco meat (turkey or beef) and then add cheese, salsa, lettuce, Tomato, etc. and eat with a spoon

- cheese wrapped in deli meat -- i roll them up and put in a baggy and throw in my purse for when i'm out running around (if you are worried about spoilage stick to cured meats like ham, pepperoni, salami, etc.)

- make a breakfast sandwich with your eggs and bacon on either a sandwich thin or a low carb tortilla. i use the sandwich thin and add some cheese as well..i eat about a quarter of one (i'm only 7 weeks out)

- refried Beans with cheese and salsa - i cook my own pinto Beans in the crockpot and blend them up in my ninja

- chicken satay (or beef) -- marinate some thin slices of beef or chicken and then skewer long ways and grill

- i haven't had these since surgery, but i used to take a rice cake and add a slice of ham and some cheese and microwave until cheese is melting and eat that in the car

- roast green beans or asparagus in the oven with your spice of choice (i have a spicy steak seasoning I like) and i will munch on these straight out of the fridge or microwaved for a few seconds to take the chill out

      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!!
