Any ideas for Bento Box Lunch?



Recommended Posts

I'm currently pre-op just waiting on pins and needles for my approval to come through and I'm looking for ideas for lunch and Snacks once I'm fully healed. My mother bought me several bento boxes (she's had the surgery) because she knows I take my Breakfast, lunch and Snacks to the office every day, and if I didn't bring it, I don't eat it. What are some things that everyone eats? I'd like to have a large list to choose from so I don't eat the same things every day, because this causes me to cheat. I get bored with the same stuff and venture into the break room...

I'm also pre-op and have been checking out some blogs lately for ideas on eating through the various stages of this. There is one by a lady who had WLS 9 years ago and has been able to keep the weight off. She is a big fan of the bento box lunch and has lots of posts of what's in her bento box that day. The blog is called "the world according to eggface" and she also has a Facebook page. Even just reading her back story on the blog is inspirational.

I've started to eat the p3 by Oscar Mayer. It has 13 gram of Protein of course it would be awhile before you could eat that. Also, Jennie-O makes turkey sticks that come in packaging like sting cheese. I've only found them at Walmart. I took milk a lot to work as a snack early on because it filled me up and counted towards my liquid.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
