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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
