Eating In the Real World

[Alliekinz 0]

Hi!

This is my first post, so I apologize if it is confusing. I have not yet had surgery but I will at the end of this month. I was wondering what you guys take for lunch? I'll be in school full time and I was trying to think of things I could take with me to eat. Any ideas? Hard boiled eggs? slices of meat and veggies?

thank for your help!!

Those sound like good options if you have a cooler to take them in. You could also take fruit, yogurt, cheese and crackers and salads in a cooler.

I can eat bread still! So I can always take a sandwich. But I dont eat the crusts anymore, lol. I usually elect to pack some sort of crispbread with something like vegemite (I'm an Aussie!) or Peanut Butter or cheese and some fruit. Its easy, quick and quite filling and doesnt go too yuck out of the fridge.

lunch is hard for me now too because I don't eat bread and bread is just so darn convenient...I am trying to stay very low carb so I haven't even tried to see if I can tolerate it yet.

My favorite lunch is salad with meat and a little cheese or boiled egg. Salads are healthy, filling and versatile...you can switch up with different meats, veggies and dressings so you won't get bored. I also like those Starkist tuna Creations, I keep them at my desk for a convenient Protein meal.

I keep a box of Protein Bars in my desk in case I get hungry before or after lunch, I normally will only it 1/2 of a bar at a time.

I most often take Smart Ones Weight Watchers frozen meal to have for lunch.......they are cheap to buy $1.76 at Walmart where I live and they taste good!
