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?

      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.
