One more can of tuna or chicken and I'm gonna puke! Need lunch ideas.



Recommended Posts

I have eaten tuna salad or chicken salad every day for the last 4 months and if I have to eat it one more day I am going to puke. I am almost 6 months out and find myself snacking on crackers because I can't stand the Protein anymore. This has slowed my weight loss down (only lost 10 pounds in the last 3 1/2 months). I don't want to fall into the trap I did before and start going out for lunch everyday. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Try vegan/vegetarian food. I might be weird but I love the Loma Linda/Worthington canned Proteins. My favorites are Little Links, Tender Bits, Redi-Burger and Linkettes.

And there are a lot of other brands. I like Boca Burgers and Boca "chicken" patties too. Ask around to see what other people really like.

I am almost 5 months out. I love Lasagna but I fix it half with noodles for my husband and half without noodles. It is AWESOME and good source of Protein. Lately I have had Hormel chicken with white bean chili, I can get 3 lunches out of one can.

@@TheWigster - At six months out, you should be eating more that just tuna & chicken salad. I'd get tired of crawfish (my favorite food) if I ate it EVERYDAY!!! You should be eating, pretty much, anything you want, within reason. Fried, greasy foods should not be on your radar, of course, but healthy, lean meat, maybe just a few bites, would be an excellent choice. Crackers are NOT a good choice. They will swell in your stomach and you won't able to eat nutritional foods. You just need to make more healthy choices.

Good luck to you!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
