What's for lunch today?



Recommended Posts

Leftover home made cashew chicken, I'll post a pic of when I made it for dinner because lunch is long gone! I put it over riced cauliflower and it's AMAZING. I'm making low carb stew for dinner.

Snow day: Sitting here in my pajamas, watching netflix and shopping online all day. I can't get motivated to do anything and I have been wanting to eat all day. Munching on green pepper to satisfy the need to crunch something.

I love messy, creamy wraps but don't do all the mayo any longer. So I mix some country dijon with a little Duke's and some WF Amazin Chipotle Mayo and sprinkle on granulated garlic. So good.

1/2 Lite Flatout

1oz BH's Lite Lacy Swiss

2oz BH's smoked turkey breast

1/2oz onion

1 1/2oz baby spinach

1 1/3oz grape tomatoes

1 tsp WF Italian Dressing

1/8 tsp granulated garlic

Wow some awesome ideas on here! I'm jealous of everyone who can have vegetables and carbs. I can have vegetables, but after hitting my Protein target have no room left... I think my target is higher than most maybe. I can dream though :-)

Now I can have salads again I had a chicken Caesar salad. I had some pre cooked diced chicken , toss with some romaine and shaved Parmesan. I like Marzettis yogurt based light Caesar dressing. I can’t eat what I used to, but I’m enjoying eating real food instead of shakes and such for sure!

I made turkey chili last week and froze half of it for next week maybe.

You will get there! Took me more than 18 months! Heck I still relies on shakes for more than a year. Still have them on occasion to meet protein goals and I'm over four years out

      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.
