I just had a lovely lunch of salad and tuna. Some days I take in a wrap and that adds a bit of variety.

My go to office lunch is a 2 oz can of tuna in Water drained and mixed with fat free Salad Dressing, 4 wheat thins and a smal pre packed snack pack of fat free cottage cheese. No nuking required.

I like to make a cold Pasta salad (w/ veggies and sometimes added ham or chicken for extra protein); however, I use multi-grain Pasta by Barilla as it is loaded w/ Vitamins and Protein. I add fat free Robusto (or Zesty) Italian dressing and whatever veggies. You can add low fat or fat free cheese too (just make sure to keep your serving size under a cup).

Any chance you could talk to your work to see if they would allow a microwave or a toaster oven?

Traveling and being a consultant makes lunch a little hard on occasion. Key things I stick to include:

- tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado or mayo on toast or mini crackers

- sushi if I can buy some on the way or the night prior

- yoghurt, bran and fruit

- plate of salad, with Beans or cheese like feta or cheddar cubes

- prawns, smoked salmon or a boiled egg are also good as a lunch Protein if you need to eat cold food.

I to used to have this problem. For a while i did my protien shake at lunch instead of Breakfast. Then I started doing yogurt and a fruit or string cheese and some veggies with low cal veggie dip.

In still on liquid/soups. This is day 13! I got creative. Bought Carraba's chicken Soup asked them to hold the Pasta. Took it home blinded it. Hmmm. Had plenty to divide into 6 one ounce portions.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
