I take leftovers. Some days I'll do salads. My go to is lunch meat roll ups. 3 slices lunch meat rolled with 1/2 cheese alive in each one

I make several meats and veggies on Sundays such as ground chicken or ground turkey burgers, grilled chicken thighs and I freeze them. I’ll grab one each day and may add a slice of tomatoe to a burger or avocado, chicken I’ll bring some cauliflower rice or spinach and I usually cook seafood once a week...shrimp, scallops and fish and mix it up and take that for lunch as well. I make chicken salad and tuna salad also and usually bring multi grain crackers to eat with those. I like a variety.

Get creative and enjoy 😊

I like the Protein packs by PLANTERS P3 and Hormel Natural Choice. Both consist of chicken, turkey or ham bites with nuts and cheese....10-15 grams of protein and what you don’t eat, you can snack on later. Here’s a picture of my lunch today...170 calories

Hard boiled eggs, chili, cheese, yogurt, lunch meat. All easy for lunch.

I work at a hospital, and we have a surprisingly good sushi chef on staff, so there's fresh sushi in the cafeteria grab-and-go cooler. Today I'm having a vietnamese spring roll - crab, shrimp, and avocado wrapped in lettuce and then the whole thing is wrapped in a rice wrapper. No idea the macros, but it's minimal carbs and a fair amount of Protein and healthy fat. They come 2 to a pack, so I'll eat one for lunch today and save one for tomorrow.

I also got some hummus and cucumber slices for a snack later!

in a pinch i have these on hand as well very good and fulfilling, i know its not the best but they work. Usually it'll be left overs from the night before. I also have these lipton cup of Soup packs that are 60 calories in case i don't have something on me or change my mind with lunch, just watch the sodium. I also have the $1 pot pies from the market. they are high calorie but what i do is eat the inside and leave the crust. again these are for times i ran out the door and need a little something at work.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
