Whats a bento box?

It's basically tupperware with compartments. Lots to choose from. I pulled this from google images.

I would strongly recommend packing a lunch box with good healthy items. There are tons of healthy Protein rich Snacks out there such as fat free Greek yogurt with fruit. Fruit cups no sugar added,... Use myfitnesspal to track your daily intake. This will open your eyes to what you are doing and how it will impact your weight. It's all about you! Don't let all temptations take you off track

Whats a bento box?

This is the one I have:

http://secure.laptop...2-BERRY&eq=&Tp=

I've been using it for a year now and it has held up perfectly. It's also about $20 cheaper now. Like I said, this is perfect for Breakfast, lunch and a snack. I will fill one of the larger containers with some kind of meat, the other large one will hold a salad or vegetables. The smaller container will hold a serving of Greek yogurt with a bit of sliced almonds and the other small one will hold a serving of cheese. If I want crackers with the cheese I will throw in a ziplock with about 6 small crackers that I get from Trader Joes that are high Fiber and high Protein like their rosemary raisin crisps or 12 grain crackers. The tiny 2 tbs container will hold dressing or dip if I want it.

I change things out. If I want to up my Protein I will fill one larger container with meat and the other with shrimp and put my veggies in the smaller one in place of the cheese.

Bento boxes are fun and keep you honest ;-)

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
