What Are You Packing For Lunch?

[GotItDoneInHarlem 302]

I'm going to be sleeved on December 17th. I pretty much have no choice but to return to work on January 2nd which will place me right in the middle of purees. I'll be on purees for a week and then transition to soft food once my doctor allows it. I have a private office and access to a fridge and microwave.

I've got a bunch of stage 2 Ella's pouches coming which I though would be more discreet than a baby for jar and plenty of espresso spoons to work with. I'll be drinking the majority of my Protein in Isopure drinks so I can hydrate and get my protein and not stress out so much on eating tons of protein.

Does anyone have great easy to make and pack ideas for work lunches and Snacks during purees and soft foods?

From what I'm reading the following are good, but I want more ideas. Thanks in advance!

1) Refried Beans and a little cheese

2) Cottage cheese

3) String cheese

4) Greek yogurt

5) Shelly's Baked Ricotta-- http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html

I think the little bento box containers are sweet! I have seen them complete with a little continer to keep them in.

You can puree tuna and chicken salad, chili, etc.

For the soft phase I did.... tuna, crab, Greek yogurt, of course my shakes, Jello, sugar free apple sauce. I was out almost a month though. However I still keeps "back ups" at my desk. All the best !!

I posted a few recipes for purée things that you put in muffin cups, during my purée phase. pumpkin ricotta, chicken burrito, chicken rice, and another one. You will find them if you search the food and nutrition section for my posts. One muffin cup = one serving and I was aiming for 6 per day.

You can freeze them all and just microwave them.
