I was wondering what everyone is taking for lunch? I have always had a hard time finding things I like for lunch and now it's even worse. Hopefully you all can give me some new ideas. I am 2 months post op, regular diet. Thanks :)

I may take leftovers from dinner or chicken salad or tuna salad with Special K crackers, fruit (grapes or cutie) and raw veggies (carrot sticks and cucumbers) although it is only a couple of each I do enjoy them.

Most people can eat anything/everything but just in smaller amounts and welled chewed. The hard thing for some is to eat healthy. No sweets, fried foods, etc.

Some on the forum use myfitnesspal to log their food. You can search the posts and find where many have asked for friends to be added. Once friends, you can view others food diaries.

I stay away from bread but eat wheat thin crackers with chicken, tuna, salmon salad or a small can of sardines with some fruit or veggies . Chicken chili or bean and bacon Soup. Also I get 2 or 3 pre-made chicken or turkey meatballs put some spaghetti sauce and cheese then microwave (yummy) .

I have a lot of ideas for Snacks and salads on my recipe group. Please friend me at hely lb on Facebook if you would like to join. I will be happy to look up other recipes for you as well if needed.

      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.
