Hi there! Have you been referred to theworldaccordingtoeggface.com? A great resource / blog by a post-op foodie. Lots of ideas for every stage.

yep, what she said! ^^^^^^^^^

I grill a lot. I love my Foreman grill! So I buy packs of chicken, beef, and fish, then freeze them in small servings. We use a food saver (best purchase EVER). When I want chicken for dinner, I'll grab a pack out of the freezer and thaw it out during the day so I can grill it at night. I do the same thing with veggies. I buy a bag of green beans or asparagus, take a few pieces, wrap them in wax paper, then put them in the freezer. I just take out the little bit for each meal so I'm not wasting any food.

Thanks for the great ideas!!!

Freezer. Spend a free weekend afternoon cooking and freeze things so you have grab and go for the week or a couple of weeks at a time. Hard boil some eggs, they keep for a while and make great grab and go additions to lunch bags. I've found lots of great bento sites that do talk about being too busy, and they have short cuts and tips like that to help. I figure if I invested in this surgery for me, investing the time to make sure I'm happy and well feed after is just as important. I hope you find some helpful tips! If you're interested in any of those websites, let me know and I'll pass them along.

I have been doing my major cooking once a week. freezing in individual portions and I have lots of options. also have been buying a whole cooked chicken from sams club, taking it off the bone and throwing it in a tupperware conatiner. so many options with chicken breast. I also have been planning my meals and packaging them up twice a week for the next few days. I never have to think what I am going to have and I also wont grab the unhealthy stuff because I am too tired to think or cook

I cook up stuff on the weekend- turkey meatballs, boil eggs, cook meats in the crock pot, make egg face's protein bites, granola, etc,

You can always buy many healthy items pre-made. They are just going to cost you a bit more.

Pinterest has helped me alot!!
