Cold lunches?



Recommended Posts

I'm in the early phases of being able to eat real food (6 weeks out). Typically, I take egg salad, ricotta bake, or Beans and cheese to work. I have to work offsite for a week without a microwave. I can take egg salad, but don't want to eat that every day. Any other good, easy to digest, protein-rich foods that I can take in my insulated lunch bag? for lunch? Thanks!

tuna or salmon cottage cheese with egg salad, turkey cheese deli rollups, insulated containers of things like Soup, chili, etc, leftover meats from the night before with raw veg like tomatoes and avocado, etc. Nut butters/apple slices, light cheese wedges, salads, cold leftover salmon, cold leftover asparagus/broccoli/green beans/brussels sprouts, etc.

Honestly, I try to keep lunch (and brekky if I have it) utilitarian--about getting the Protein and nutrients in and not making it about variety or pleasing my taste buds. Then dinner can be a little more satisfying in that area.

I also wrap healthy Protein deli meat in lettuce to avoid the bread or usual wraps to avoid the carbs. I also make 1 or 2 % cottage cheese, add a half scoop or whole scoop of six star Protein, add 1/2 c. sliced peaches or pineapple chunks.

I also add some stevia or artificial sweeteners to taste.

Thanks all. I just realized on the app you can’t tell what board this is. I’m looking for vegetarian options (I think I posted on the veggie board)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
