kcgeeck 8 Posted April 22, 2014 Okay I had my surgery in December so I'm at the 4 month mark. I've lost 62.5 pounds so far and am feeling great. I'm coming here to just get some suggestions. What are things everyone else is eating that's easy? I work two jobs so finding time to cook is nearly impossible. I'm also a teacher so I've found it easier to eat things that don't need to be heated. For example: I eat grilled turkey breast and a piece of cheese (made with 2% milk) because it's easy to eat while in the classroom. I also snack on things like beef Jerky and mixed nuts.

1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted April 23, 2014 I work a lot of hours and when I get home I am exhausted. I pick up the ready made roasted chickens from the grocery store and use them to make multiple recipes including chicken salad, chicken casserole and just eating pieces of the chicken as is. I make a hamburger steak (a very small one) and eat it with green Beans. These aren't great recipes but they are legal, healthy and quick and get the job done.

jmgtexas 21 Posted April 23, 2014 When I'm in the middle of a project or traveling I love those "3P" packets with cubes of ham/turkey/chicken, nuts and low-fat cheese ... 17-19 grams of Protein and no hassle. Environmentally I know it's not great to have the individual packaging, but it is so easy and satisfying when you get busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhonda2006 64 Posted April 23, 2014 I work full time and have twin 2 year olds so most if the time when I eat its something quick. I liked low fat cooked ham or tutkey( 30 cal slice) cheese cubes, mixed nuts( not many though) too much fat., 100 cal pack tuna salad with a couple saltines, I do eat a few lean cuisines or smart ones usually can only tolerate about half, soups( Campbell's cup of soup), 2 pieces of bacon( center cut less calories and fat), Snacks cheese it crackers my favorite.

E2013 31 Posted April 23, 2014 I hit four months this past Saturday. I eat Protein only. cheese stick for Breakfast, and a piece of meat for lunch and dinner. I eat such a small portion I usually have left over meat in fridge. Occasionally a few almonds as a snack.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
able2cope 193 Posted April 23, 2014 can you tolerate eggs? I'm thinking boiled eggs, although I usually have to have some mayo with it or its too dry.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
