Difficulty finding TIME to eat!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 05/31/11 and have lost 30lbs so far (without a fill) but now that I am back to work (I took a month off after surgery), my schedule is super busy and I find it hard to find time to eat! I wake up around 630am to get myself and my son ready for school/work..after that it's non-stop busy-ness..lol.

Can anyone recommend some ON-THE-GO foods or Snacks that are healthy AND quick (low carb/low sugar/protien). When I do eat, I rarely get hungry in between but I need something that I can eat while I am on the run!

Premier nutrition Protein shakes for Breakfast and it's in a to-go container. Easy access and it fills you up.

You can find them at costco and I THINK Sam's Club.

30 g Protein

1 g sugar

3 g fat

160 calories

11 fl. oz

chocolate is yummy.

Protein Shakes, and bars.

Also stop in a nutrition store, tell them how busy are, and ask if they have Protein Snacks in a bag or box like a cookie or treat.

A couple of pieces might hold you over.

I really try to avoid eating on the run. That's a good way to get stuck. If I really feel I need something I try to stick with something liquid, Protein Shakes or just a cup of coffee or iced tea and hope the urge goes away. It usually does.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
