I've decide that I'm going to give this "meal prep" idea a go. I've been slacking on eating healthy. I have yet to gain weight but at the rate I'm going it's bound to happen. I order the stuff listed below from Amazon last night in preparation for my return to work next week. I end up drinking only a protein shake at work and then come home at night and want to eat the house. I still don't eat and drink together so when I get my 30 min break its either eat or drink. I think this will be an excellent way to keep full and focused so that I'm not eating junk when I get home. Do you meal prep for the week? What kind of foods do you make? I've found some really good YouTube videos with recipes ect...but I'm wanting to hear from the WLS community. We could even make this a "thing" if anyone else is interested in doing this together. We can take pictures and share ideas. I'm all for it! ☺️

Y'all are making me very impatient to get to the place where my sleeve will tolerate raw veg and fruit, as well as to the place where I could eat more than 1/4 of the teeny plate.

@@2goldengirl You'll get there and then you'll have the grand opportunity to worry about getting fat again. Enjoy the small portions now!

@@2goldengirl That was "fat" not "hate" I fixed it.

@@Elode - how much can you eat of dense food? A cup? I am curious you are ahead of me by a few months surgery-wise and I know I can eat a full cup (sometimes) depending on the food. Can you give me an example?

How are the "girls" looking size wise? I have REALLY thought about your recent "do" and I am thinking about it. Did BCBS Fed cover it?

@@jane13 dense food like chicken I can't do much of maybe 1/2 cup or couple ounces. It's hard on my stomach. Salads and light foods I can do well with. The girls are perfect! I haven't wore a real bra yet shit in the compression bra but I'd say 32 c. No none of my plastic were covered.

<p>@@Elode Ok. Then I am eating about the same as you are, but some days the carb monster takes over and its like PMS munchies all freakin' day.<br />

So no implants at all? Just a reduction/lift?<br />

<br />

My GF did BA about 15 yrs ago (post WLS) and they put in small implants to keep the girls 'perky' longer.<br />

<br />

I am not looking for forever perky, just not:<br /><br />

<br />

UU<br />

<br />

As little as you are now, and from what I can tell in the pictures pre-op BA, a 32C is probably perfect - you LUCKY girl!</p>

I've been food prepping my butt off today! Got all week lunches, dinners and breakfasts done!

Looks fab! Though at only 7 weeks out, it would take me all day to eat one of those salmon boxes.

@@2goldengirl ha! I can't eat all of them either but I graze.

I've done up all of my lunches/dinners for the week as well...

They're all the same...

Poached salmon and broccolini...

Boring...

But better than next week's food...

That'll be five days of back to liquids...

Gonna try to kick the stall...

@@KindaFamiliar What is broccolini?

@@Elode

It's almost like 'broccoli lite'...

It's not as coarse or as strong flavoured as broccoli...

I'll try to post a pic when I get home tonite...

@@Elode

Steamed broccolini...

And as discussed previously, here's my lunches and dinners for the week, during prep and after 'plating'...

Can I just throw pre made meals in the freezer? Is there a secret lol
