...I currently eat a lot of lean cousins....

I am glad we aren't related. :)

(I know you meant "Lean Cuisines" -automatic spelling corrections can be funny)

Are you pre-op? Post op? How far out from surgery?

It depends on your stage.

Pre-op, my NUT said Lean Cuisines, etc. we're fine but to add a bag of frozen vegetables (like broccoli) to make them healthier and more satisfying.

During my two-week pre-op diet which was high Protein, no starches/carbs I ate a lot of turkey breast, tuna, cheese, etc.

Now that I am post-op a year and on full foods, I still eat a lot of turkey breast, tuna, cheese, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, black Beans, chicken, etc.

Those packaged foods may be convenient but they are not only sometimes high in sodium, but they have other additives like MSG (or equivalents) which are not too good for us.

Can you buy a bunch of stackable freezer storage containers and make your own high Protein, healthier higher Protein versions using lean meats, chicken, fish, tofu, etc.? Make a few up at a time and after a few times you will begin to have a variety so you aren't eating the same lunch all the time. Also cook a little extra at supper and freeze the leftovers for lunch.< /p>

You will be eating healthier and your wallet will be getting a little fatter with the money you save (also your "Cousins" will be less stressed out around lunchtime :)).

I second what @@4MRB4PHOTO said. I work 12 - 18 hour days so I completely understand not having time to make healthy meals which is why I prep everything on the weekend. I have every lunch, dinner, and snack made for the week so I never have to worry about it. Having everything made and ready also means I can't use the excuse of not having something on hand to eat crap lying around at work. Plus, because I made everything, I know exactly what's in it. I've developed a bit of a tupperware collection! post-249376-14608261696885_thumb.jpg

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
