I'm Running Out of Lunch Ideas - Any suggestions.



Recommended Posts

I didn't bring my lunch today and I want to have something good. I'm leaning towards a small chilli from Wendy's and one of their low cal grilled chicken wraps. I would only have to spend $2.50 and be full. My job is near a lot of restaurants. Who has a good lapband lunch that eat that maybe I can go buy from one of the restaurants around here? I'm running out of lunch ideas

Have you tried the wrap? Can you eat it? One small bowl of Wendy's chili is plenty for me. I normally don't even finish the entire thing at lunch time.

I guess it depends on your restriction, but if you've never tried it for lunch, you may want to just start with the chili and go from there.

Refried Beans (I ask for onions in addition) & cheese from Taco Bell is also good. Or the filling from a variety of their burritos.

Thanks Ladies,

I can eat half of the chilli and half of the wrap, I usually let one of my daughters eat the rest when I take it home. The grilled chicken wrap is delicious. I go in for a fill on Friday so I'm hoping then that I will only be able to eat half of one and non of the other after that. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thanks Indio thanks for the recipe, I buy a lot of ground turkey and I'm always looking for other ways to cook it. I've copied the recipes and I will make some tomorrow as I didn't thaw out any ground turkey.

I settled for a mini sub minus the bottom bread from Jersey Mikes, with a lot of lettuce, the sub is about 3 to 4 inches and I can only eat 3/4 of it with out the bottom bread so it's like a half sandwich. But I have lunch ideas for tomorrow thanks to you two.

      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?
