HEYLP! Blue collar lunch?!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have good lunch ideas for someone who works outside?? I need something that will survive about 4hours in a cooler with cold packs. I go back to work tomorrow and I'm stressing out over what to pack/eat!

What phase are you in for foods?

Hard boiled eggs or edamame and garbanzo bean salad. Soups in a thermos. Yogurt frozen before you pack it. If you can stomach it at the point chicken salad made with plain Greek yogurt or smashed avacodo.

YES!! Thanks. Just picked up some Starkist. Also some stuff to make turkey salads. My VSG date was 7/11(almost 5 weeks) and I'm on solids (no red meat/pork yet) and I'm doing great but I've had the luxury of a microwave and fridge at home. Tomorrow I'm back to the grind (although I'll probably spend the day in retraining at my garage). Got a nice big 36oz RTIC bottle and a case or Propel to keep me liquefied. B)

      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.
