Lunch & Work

Hello everyone, so I'm 3 months post op. The biggest challenges that I'm having now is making myself eat. I'm never hungry at all but I know I need to eat. Also, needing more ideas for foods & meals to cook. I feel as if I eat chicken 4 days a week. Lol Any suggestions???? What do you do for lunch?

Thanks for any help.

    I buy great quality lunch meat sliced extra thin, add a slice of good cheese, an avocado wedge and make roll ups. Salami and provolone, roast beef and harvarti, ham and cheddar, turkey and pepper jack

  • Baby girl pa, thanks. I very rarely skip a meal but there had been a few times that I did. I do drink 1 protein shake a day; 1/2 in the morning & half in the afternoon for 30 grams of protein.

I do chicken salad or ham salad, seafood salad is great, shrimp salad is a favorite.

Sometimes I just do chunks of cheese, almonds and pepperoni or chicken strips, olives and feta.

Definitely lots of options available.

A small amount of cheese or avocado are so satisfying and help me stick to my version of a plan which focuses on low carb.

There are several great websites for post-bariatric recipes and there are some on this site. Have fun exploring!
