Need help with food ideas



Recommended Posts

I go to school after work on MOn & Tues until 9 at night. The problem is that I need food that can go down easily while driving or that I can eat very quickly before class. Lunchboxes don't work with cold food because I don't have a fridge at work and I never remember to pack ice packs. I eat a Protein Bar for Breakfast so I was trying to avoid eating that again. I get my next fill on Mon and they fill really tight so the main problem will be for the next two weeks. Any suggestions?

I'm shifting into mommy mode. Pack like you would a school lunch. Freeze 2 Water bottles and pack in a small container or lunchbox. The frozen Water will keep the other foods cold for a few hours. Yogurts, tuna, applesauce and fruit cups are easy to go down and should keep well. These two water bottles you can then drink.

I hope this helps.

I like the Low Carb Slim Fast drinks. They have 20 grams of Protein in one can and besides being convenient they are easy to get down when you're very tight. Of course, you still have the issue of needing to remember the ice packs and a straw.

What about the Campbells Soup at Hand in the microwaveable drink containers? Have you tried those? Good luck!

      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.
