Recommended Posts

I have to admit that I am in a huge rut, due to time, money, conveience, etc. I have been eating same thing everyday for lunch for maybe a year or so (YIKES!) ... aidells meatballs and edamane Beans. I am bored with it, yet it is very easy. I also wonder if you eat it everyday .. it could become a slider food? I notice that I am not really satiffied....

I need suggestions for lunch and dinner....

Today I am trying something different for lunch,, brought bbq pork with some dipping BBQ Sauce.< /p>

Thanks! :frown:

Edited to add: I emailed my NUT yesterday and she suggested making bean salad, and adding tuna or chicken to it.

Any good bean salad receipes?

I don't know, but it sure seems that way. I know that when I get in a rut and eat the same things all the time, I start feeling like I'm "hunting" for food--even though I'm not hungry, I still want to eat. I've decided that's my body's way of saying it's not getting enough nutrients. When you eat the same things over and over, you limit the variety that is the hallmark of healthy eating--because by having a lot of variety you get a whole "soup" of micronutrients that the body needs--that's the way I understand it from my nutritionist anyway. I struggle with getting in a rut--for all the reasons you mentioned--but I'm really trying to have more variety, because I think a healthy body is better able to do the work of losing weight. Sorry, I stink at recipes. Try allrecipes.com or another online recipe source maybe. Good luck.

I'd just rinse out a can of four bean mix, and dump in a can of flavoured tuna, some chopped Tomato and maybe a heap of coriander (you guys call it cilantro I think). You wouldnt need any dressing because of the tuna.

Sounds yummy and very healthy, I am going to try this.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
