I'm currently pre-op just waiting on pins and needles for my approval to come through and I'm looking for ideas for lunch and Snacks once I'm fully healed. My mother bought me several bento boxes (she's had the surgery) because she knows I take my Breakfast, lunch and snacks to the office every day, and if I didn't bring it, I don't eat it. What are some things that everyone eats? I'd like to have a large list to choose from so I don't eat the same things every day, because this causes me to cheat. I get bored with the same stuff and venture into the break room...

I'm also pre-op and have been checking out some blogs lately for ideas on eating through the various stages of this. There is one by a lady who had WLS 9 years ago and has been able to keep the weight off. She is a big fan of the bento box lunch and has lots of posts of what's in her bento box that day. The blog is called "the world according to eggface" and she also has a facebook page. Even just reading her back story on the blog is inspirational.

I've started to eat the p3 by Oscar Mayer. It has 13 gram of protein of course it would be awhile before you could eat that. Also, Jennie-O makes turkey sticks that come in packaging like sting cheese. I've only found them at Walmart. I took milk a lot to work as a snack early on because it filled me up and counted towards my liquid.
