Bag Lunch



Recommended Posts

Am going on an outing next week. One of the requirements is to bring a bag lunch because we will be out all day. I can not eat breads and hard fruits, so what is the best things to pack so that I don't get hungry and I am not outcasted because I'm not eating with everyone else. Not very many ready to eat foods out there.

I'd take one of those small one meal tuna things that come with crackers, applesauce or make a bean salad and put it in a little container. You can use cool packs to keep this fresh. Oh, ya don't forget Water with a flavor packet.

PS why does it have to be ready made?

Make it at home and pack it. j/s

I can make it from home. Most likely what I will do. tuna sounds great. Didn't think about that. Went into panic mode and couldn't sort things out in my head. Apple sauce sits heavy in my chest for some reason. Imma see if I can find the cool packs. I live in the deserts of California so a lot of convient stuff is not available. 45 min to nearest town.

If you can't find cool pack just put ice cubes in a ziplock bag. I'd double bag it just in case of a leak.

Those tuna kits are great. I take them when I chaperone my son's field trips with his class. They come with pre-mixed tuna salad and crackers. They're perfect.

I also keep Protein Meal Replacement bars in my purse just in case I find myself in a situation I can't find any band friendly meals.

P.S.- the tuna kits don't have to be kept cool, either.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
