lunch ideas

I'm three months post OP... Looking for some ideas for lunch ideas.. What do you all eat??

At 3 months I ate meatballs.... Would buy the premade ones from costco (they have a varity of different flavors) it was just easier to count the amount of protien. I ate chicken wings, my favorite are honey BBQ. I usually buy them from Costco... Very low cost considering I don't eat much. With the protien I would cut up tomatoe 1/4 cup and eat it with the protien. Avocado and tomatoe was another favorite. Cottage cheese is another low fat protien option. I also made Soups with meat and veggies. I still to this day can not eat bread without feeling like I swallowed a sponge.... So needless to say I stay away from bread. I can however, eat corn tortillas... So a small taco is a pleasant meal! Apricot glazed shrimp skewers! Mini Meat loaf muffins are good also! Hope this helps!

I'll have some chicken salad (low fat mayo) with just a little cranberry sauce on it. A meatball w/ a little spaghetti squash. deli wrap ups.. Roll some turkey and cheese. Or turkey and ham if you prefer. If others in the office are ordering out, I'll get a "sub" without the roll, and oil/vinegar on the side. It lasts a few meals. Or if it is Chinese food, I'll get steamed shrimp w/ veggies.

I'll wrap leftovers from dinner in 4oz. containers to bring in for lunch a lot.

Everything is high protein/ low fat/low carbs. I dont' feel I'm really limited.

Good luck!

Check out the muffin tin meal recipes. emilybites.com and thworldaccordingtoeggface.com I have gotten several ideas from them and I will make a batch or two a week. I love bringing them to work or eating at home...the portions are great! I make a manicotti-like one, a taco one, and also did meatloaf (not my fave). I have also tried some dessert ones too! Anyway, I absolutely love these and it's nice to eat something real just small!

I usually eat leftovers from dinner the night before. If not, a sandwich, yea I said it, A SANDWICH! haha wraps, I buy big containers of spring mix lettuce and make salads usually with olives, red bell pepper, tomatoes and top it with tuna, chicken, or lunch meat with balsalmic vinaigrette.

The chicken salad with cranberry sauce sounds delish! I'm going to try that!
