Need ideas for quick meals



Recommended Posts

For Breakfast I either have a south beach bar with 10 grams Protein, or a cup of fat free sugar free yogurt with a cup of Kashi crunch Cereal mixed in it. lunch and supper could be a Healthy Choice dinner, tuna lunch kit, Wendy's grilled chicken (no bun) with side salad, subway salad with chicken breast or turkey breast and lately for dinner I've been having cheese cubes and dried turkey sticks they have a lot of protein! Oh, I eat a lot of cottage cheese with pineapple on top. They even sell those Breakstone Doubles they are good and have protein!!!

Where do you find sugar free yogurt, and what brand is it? I can't find sugar free.

I eat the light and fit by dannon, its artificially sweetened, but I re-read the label and it does contain fructose... Sorry for any confusion.

I went on the web and looked for low carb recipes and found "flax seed" , sounds yuk but is good.

I have made up in advance, flax seed muffins, put them in the freezer, and are defrosted by the time i get to work. Also there is a recipe for flax meal Peanut Butter hot cereal and it is great, takes 3 minutes.

I could go on and on, but one more is a pizza, i make up in advance makes 8 servings, quick, freeze, take with you meal that is totally satisfying. That I found on lapbandtalk.com. If you can't find them let me know i will

get them for you.

I just boil several eggs at the beginning of the week, and then put them in little individual snack baggies in the fridge ready to grab. String cheese to grab on the go is good too (they have low-fat & fat-free, but I still like the regular!) There are also now little 100 calorie packs of almonds - regular and a cocoa-covered version.

I have the same issue, but during my 6 month nutrition I learned soooo much! I usually grab a weight watchers string cheese, cereal (dry to eat in /car) or english muffin or piece of toast and a fruit. If I don't have a cheese stick I will take a HB egg. With these items I can pack a breakfast ahead of time, and take it to eat on my way to work. 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.
