Panera anyone?



Recommended Posts

This seems to be a great place to eat. They have the nutrition posted at least for calories. I had a half cup of the lemon orzo Soup today. It was pretty good! Have you been and what have you found to eat there?

I love Panera! I am pre-op but was there Tuesday and was thinking of all the Soups and how great they will be! Their website has ALL the nutrition info.

I love Panera bread and their low-fat chicken noodle Soup is absolutely delicious.

Try the Low Fat Black Bean Soup it is awesome and a wonderful staple for me when I was on mushy stage. I LOVE IT! I tried a store bought black bean soup and it was gross. That is too bad because Panera is a little expensive, but 1 bowl would last like 3 meals so I guyess $5 for 3 meals is not too bad.

I just had Panera cater our sales meetings at work and it was a HUGE hit. I took over the scheduling the lunches from my bosses assistant because I wanted to make sure I'd have something I could eat for these long days of our meetings, lol (plus she always got NASTY lunches!) anyway the cool thing on their website is their nutritional area, it allows you to remove ingredients from their sandwiches so you get accurate calorie/nut info; I ended up eating 2 half sandwiches over the day (both without the bread/spreads,just meat veggies & cheese) and was still able to accurately track my foods that day. Yeah Panera! Our office has a catered luncheon every Monday and they are talking about doing Panera maybe 1x a month now. I am excited because I always have to skip Monday lunch, awkwardly bring my own food, or worse, eat some and be unsure if I am blowing my calories for the day :)

Had the french onion Soup at Panera last night and it went down like a dream! I love their Soups and they have a nice selection.

My daughter works there and says they use mostly organic everything and everything is fresh too.

Love Panera!

I went 2 days ago with my girlfriends. I had 1/2 the chicken cuban panini, and 1/2 the Thai chicken salad. I ate about 1/2 of the foccacia bread with the sandwich, all the meat/cheese, and ate about 1/4 of the salad.

I can't eat the broccoli Soup anymore. For whatever reason, I'm in the bathroom within 30 minutes of eating that particular soup.

Plus, it's been over 100 degrees here, and soup has lost all of it's appeal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
