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.

      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.
