My Favourite Lunch



Recommended Posts

I take a 6 oz. can of Ham

Flake it with a fork

Mix in: Chopped sweet pickle or relish if you have it on hand

1 Tbspn Low Fat Hellmans mayo

Then I just eat 1/2 of it with a fork for lunch, sometimes I'll follow 1/2 hour later with glass of V-8 juice...

YUMMY and EASY

Laura...

What brand of canned chicken do you use? The stuff I have tried is nasty! It's like weird little twigs, gross.

That does sound gross.. I get 3 different brands.. big cans from Sam's (I don't know the brand), some normal size cans from Wal-greens (don't know the brand), and then smaller 6oz cans from a grocery store are Swansons.

One of the brands from wal-green boasts the Protein content on the front. And they're all white meat, I haven't been able to find the supposedly mixed dark & white meat cans.

The meat looks/smells JUST LIKE tuna. So you have to flake it.. but it tastes better than tuna :)

I'll look up the other 2 brands when I get home. I haven't tried the swansons yet, the other 2 are the ones I love, but the swansons looks like the others.

I also bought canned turkey the other day, haven't tried it yet but I plan to mix a little cranberry sauce and see how that is.

I was afraid canned meats before, but this chicken stuff rocks my socks!

I discovered I like the canned chicken too!

I buy the generic brand at Wal Mart or Swanson's from the groc store. They both taste the same to me but the brand from Wal Mart has (in a 2oz serving) 10 calories more but 1 gram more of Protein.< /p>

It does smell like tuna when you open the can and drain it but not fishy when you eat it.

I always just mix it with a little miracle whip light and relish and eat it with a fork or crackers. I have either canned tuna or chicken 3 out of 5 days days a week for lunh...it is the quickest and easiest to pack on the way out the door. My classroom always smells like tuna!

Pickles are great for stemming cravings I've found... same with eggs..I find 2 boiled eggs in the morning tide me over much longer than cereal...weird huh?

      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.

      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.
