Need Lunch Box Recommendations :)



Recommended Posts

I know this question probably sounds like I'm back in grade school but now that I'm meal prepping, I need a good lunch box to take to work with me. I know some have compartments, some have Portion Control, some are more insulated. There are just so many to choose from, that I'm a little lost.

I would so appreciate if you all would share the ones you love and even post a picture if you have one! (Also, if you have a link to where to buy it, that would be even better.)

Thanks for helping me with this journey! :)

You'd laugh heartily at my lunch box....

I often walk into work with a grocery store plastic bag.....packets of tuna, salmon, beef Jerky, Protein bars and shakes inside. It's how I roll at work.

Nothing to bring home.

I found an insulated bag with a zipper top for three bucks at Ross. It has been the best lunch bag I've had.

I also roll with a Piggly Wiggly bag (yes, I am from the South) to work everyday. It is the easy throw away bag at the end of the day. I am forgetful about bringing lunch boxes home. I also have a couple of The compartment box that I got from Amazon. I am almost 8 months post-op so they hold a day of food for me. The only issue I have with them is that I have to wash the individual compartments when I get home. I am lazy about that, so I prefer the easy throw away[emoji1]

I got a cute one at target with an ice pack built in. Granted I have to put it in my freeze but it's pretty thin.

I have a really nice SACHI bag with room for an ice pack and 2 meals and Snacks. I am good for all day when I get to work, and do not need to fight for the refrigerator space. I can't believe how many coworkers put their insulated lunch bags in the fridge closed. anyway. I like to use my real flatware and dishes and a cloth napkin. :-)

mine is this style, but a black and white gingham print. http://www.sachi-bags.com/fun-hoot.html

I've always wanted an old-school Stanley lunchbox with thr round top - but they're noisy as can be to be getting stuff in and out of, and with as often as I'll be eating post sleeve, well, I'm sticking with my insulated bag and collection of teeny containers.

Have you checked out bento boxes? They're a cool way to pack little portions

I second the Jaxx, I really like it, use it every day, came with Portion Control containers and this handy vitamin/supplement container.

I got a waxed canvas lunch bag that looks a lot like a brown paper lunch bag, but is a little bigger, reusable and has a leather closure strap. It was a little overpriced for what it is, but I like the simple and flexible design.

Packit lunch bag. You freeze the whole thing at night. No separate ice packs because it's in the lining of the bag.

Folds up really nicely to bring home and for freezer.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
