Help With Choices For Meals



Recommended Posts

I've had my band for 4 1/2 years and am in a rut. I eat the same breakfast and lunch pretty much everyday. I need some ideas to jazz up my diet. Thanks!

What is it that your currently eating?

Morningstar Farms Protein veggie Protein w/ cottage cheese

tuna or chicken from can w/some light mayo I put on whole grain tortilla or cracker or eat it alone

Romaine lettuce w/ black Beans

Make some home made chili it is a good go tofood.. EASY to make

Grilled chicken or other meats

eggs/egg beaters toss in salsa or I like to add in Morningstar farms products in them. Makes and omlette,

We jazz up Protein shakes w/ Ginger, Kale, banana, and Ice cubes VERY YUMMY.

We occasionally slice up a sweet potato, use a dab of olive oil/spray or with Pam, and kinda mix the sliced potato in it season it up and bake 30 minutes or till done to your liking at 350 degrees (good if your craving fries of some sort)

I mix cottage cheese and black Beans together (but I am a food mixer) you can toss in some meat protein too.

For lunch most days I have a whole wheat sandwich thin with a laughing cow wedge and deli turkey or roast or tuna- less than 200 calories usually. I eat a lot of chicken for supper and a sandwich thin w Peanut Butter and a banana for Breakfast or an egg. Really into these sandwich thins can you tell? Super good and only 40 calories for 1/2 of one. Also do wheat tortillas as wraps sometimes or tacos.

I eat Kay's Protein Cereal w/blueberries for breakfast and most of the time I have a Chobani Yogurt for lunch with almonds. Otherwise, I'll get a small salad w/ egg and feta for protein. dinner is dicey. Sometimes I make chicken or Pasta and meatballs and sometimes I have a 1/4 cup pancake mix with an egg. See why I need ideas?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
