Need Lunch Ideas



Recommended Posts

I have been coming home for lunch but my job changed and now I'm stuck at the office! I eat Breakfast there already because I'm in at 5:30am but now I need to find easy lunches too. Has to be mushies almost or I PB and I have access to only a microwave and a fridge.

I can only eat sooo many potatoes.. any other cheap and easy ideas for lunch? heh, I never knew how nice it was to grab a sandwich.

Kynekke - There is lots to choose from but, like anything else it all gets boring. Here are some of the things I have for lunches:

Cottage cheese

Soups

seafood salad

chicken salad

tuna salad

meatballs (either from subshop ordered without the roll or leftover)

meatloaf (left over from dinners)

Stouffers stuffed peppers (insides are really easy to eat)

omelet

rolled lunch meat with cheese

cheese and wheat crackers

Boston Market turkey with squash

those are my usuals. Oh and if you own a crockpot that will help you get more Proteins in that won't get stuck. I made chicken cacciatore in mine and had that for lunches last week. The chicken was super moist and shredded so it went down easy peasy.

Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
