What's for lunch today?



Recommended Posts

Here's mine...complete with my pain in the arse food journal:) So what was your lunch today? Do you keep a food journal?

Never thought I'd see the day when I'd be absolutely full on 6 multigrain scoops:) My puppy got the last one and some of the chili:)

3/4 of a cup of turkey chili. Those Scoops look delish! I may try adding some saltines to my chili today.

I love chili of all flavors. Turkey, beef and tofu. Today's chili was 95% extra lean ground sirloin, heavy on the tomatoes, peppers and onions:) Here's my favorite Tofu Chili with a whole wheat wasa:)

Anyone else take pix of their meals for their nutritionist visits? My nutritionist seems to really enjoy this.

I have some sous vide egg "muffins" that were made in my instant pot. Egg whites, diced ham, and smoked Gouda.

Welcome. I do use that "baby food freezer storage tray" to make them in like the site mentions.

@OneDollarBill Great idea! I have 3 of them from Santa! I now can't wait to cook in them as well as use them for freezer!!!

@Creekimp13 I'm completely off track today. I didn't rest until 5am, then slept until 11am. (Snow day in Houston, TX. It's official, hell has frozen over...) So I just ate my cottage cheese slop:

1/4c Greek yogurt, plain

85g Daisy 2% cottage cheese

1 1/2oz Premier vanilla Protein RTD

1/2 eye dropper vitacost liquid vanilla stevia

28g frozen blueberries

8.5g sliced blanched almonds

6.5g Fiber One Cereal

Nutritional Information: 201 cals; 22g protein; 6g fat; 17g carbs; 5g fiber; 12g net carbs

This holds me a good 4-5 hours without hunger. It is about 1cup of food, slightly rounded. I also make it with Granny smith apple, cinnamon, walnuts rather than the blueberries and almonds.

Sorry no piccys. Next time!

I wish I had the time to do homemade lunches/meals everyday, take the time to take a picture, sit and enjoy. instead I eat at my desk, I get grilled or roasted chicken and the last time I took a picture of my food was for my mom's 75th. lol! I need a new life where I can sit and enjoy a meal.

@mylighthouse Hey Aggie! Gig 'em! It looked like you guys were getting the big brunt of it! Glad to hear it missed you! There's still snow and ice on the ground and cars. Isn't that just the craziest? :D

      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.
