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!!!

      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.
