Starting back to work next week



Recommended Posts

So I start back to work next week and will be starting on regular foods as well. This actually scares me. I know I need to plan my lunch/snacks the night before but what do I pack? Any help/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Sliced meat (eg chicken lunch eat), boiled egg, mixed raw nuts, grapes, Babybel cheeses, Mason jar salads with sugar-free / fat-free dressing and if desperately running out the door late, a Protein Bar. (not all in the same lunch heheh)

My first weeks I took ricotta bake (google Eggface's ricotta bake) or pureed black Beans with cheese. I also made some pureed egg salad. I keep 1/2 cup mason jars of pureed black beans in my freezer. Worse comes to worst, I can always grab one out of the freezer, put 10g of cheese in a ziploc, then heat it in the microwave.

I also took one serving of Protein Powder for the afternoons - usually Syntrax nectar's Roadside Lemonade or fuzzy navel.

And if you take your Vitamins throughout the day, then put the ones you'll need during the day next to where you keep your lunch sack.

I meal prep a lot. so ill do baked chicken breast, or if I'm lazy get a big rotisserie chicken from sam's or make turkey meatloaf for Protein. we always have sliced turkey and ham in the fridge, then I grab various veggies and stuff, yogurt, sugar free Jello or pudding, beef Jerky for Snacks.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
