I have been really frustrated lately. I am about a year out from surgery so I am somewhat tight. I don't eat Breakfast, but I will sometimes have a little something at about 9 or 10 in the morning. Well I don't get hungry, and I don't feel like eating anything until 1 or after. I could literally go all day without eating. I just don't feel like eating. I'm not hungry in the mornings, and I am rarely hungry at lunch time.

I do try to eat lunch, but I am having problems with finding things to eat. What do you suggest eating for lunch? Today I had egg salad. We have a local place that has a lunch special, and they usually have some sort of Soup that I will eat. I don't think leftovers would sit very well with me. It seems everything I eat tastes so nasty. Like I will crave something, but it tastes so nasty after only a couple bites. My taste has changed dramatically. Anyone else experience this?

Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just wanted some lunch ideas. Thanks so much!

I seem to eat a lot of chicken salad sandwiches. I just buy the 98% lean white chicken in a can, I like to add onion, celery, sometimes i chop up boccoli and cauliflower, radish... what ever raw veg I have and throw it in with the chicken and a little light mayo. I eat it on toast or crackers or wrap it up in lettuce. I've ate a lot of this since my surgery, so far I haven't gotten sick of it, the raw veg makes it nice and crunchy. Lots of Protien.

I will agree with you that somethings just don't taste good anymore.

I also will do lean cusine once in a while for lunch or leftovers.

Good Luck!

I buy the lloyds shredded chicken barbeque, pork, or beef it is very good low in calories and I put it on top of my salad therefore deleting dressing. With some fat free kraft shredded cheese its good. I dont think being that tight is a good thing though. Just some suggestions on food. It really is good and I dont get tired of it and one container is four meals for me so it might seem expensive but in all reality it averages out to about 1.25 a meal.

      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.
