Lunch recipe recs? I'm tired of the same old.



Recommended Posts

So I thought I found the perfect lunchtime meal. Delicious, cheap, low cal and easy: miso Soup with sauteed greens and tofu or grilled cod.

However, I have now eaten this every day for over a month. I'm so tired of it.

So what is everyone else eating? I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm not a huge meat loving person. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love Miso Soup too, but not every day. I am trying to save money to buy a house, so I am now eating my left over dinner for lunch. This is really amazing for me, because I never use to eat left overs. But I don't mind if I can save money to buy a home.

So, I make extra servings of dinner on purpose, so I can take the leftover to work to eat for lunch.< /p>

Examples:

Chili

Taco salad

Baked chicken with veggies

Baked fish with veggies

chicken casserole

Pasta casserole

When I don't have left overs from dinner, I will make lettuce or tortilla wraps for lunch.

Example: lettuce with humus spread on it and meat and cheese placed in the middle with onions and tomatoes.

Example: Multi grain tortilla with humus, meat, cheese, onion, and veggies.

And I can always make a nice salad with the left over meat from dinner.

I have really been enjoying these lately. Low carb, low fat & low cal.

~Spring Mix salad (lettuce)

~1/4 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese

~few tbs salsa

~2 tbs low fat sour cream

~few tbs fat free italian dressing (I don't use much because of salsa already gives moisture)

~Marinated chicken breast (use whatever you like. I like light ceasar dressing, or just oil w/ some spice).

That's it! Enjoy!!!

Sometimes I just use turket breast if that's all i have on hand. This salad really stays w/ me for hours! It's about 550 cals or so I think.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
