What's in your lunch box?

Hello September People, So, I as go back to work FULL TIME I'm wondering-- what do we all bring for lunch? And has anybody had comments/questions on what we eat? Thanks again, Ruth

Hi Ruth you had surgery the same day I did and depending on what your Dr. says about eatting, here are some suggestions: Soup Tuna Fish Chicken Salad Yogurt low fat cold cuts rolled up Cottage Cheese Riccota low fat fruit veggies Hope this helps! Mike

Nothing usually. I try to eat and so far I am still having major issues. I hate yogurt but I bought some tonight and I will be forcing myself to eat it tomorrow for lunch. I have to get more calories. When I do eat it is usually a protein drink. Shannon

Hey Shannon, I was hoping you were feeling better by now! Hang in there, what if you eat cream soups? That would up your calories. You might even be able to mix in some unflavored protein powder. I hope the eating issues resove very soon. Love, Sue

I am going to pack some cheese and some type of lunch meat and roll it up but I know that is going to get old quick so I am looking for options as well I do not have the option of a fridge so I have to be very careful on stuff spoiling in a cooler bag I was thinking of soups and chili but I have no way to warm them up and I ate too many cold meals during the pureed phase YUK! I'll do some more thinking and if I come up with something I'll get back to you

Hey Miss Nikki, Definitely buy yourself a thermos with a wide mouth. You can take chili, soups, leftovers, all kinds of stuff for lunch, eat hot, no microwave necessary! Works great for my family! ~Sue

THANK YOU!!!!!! I swear I would have never thought of buying myself a thermos I was just looking at them today for the kids to take to daycare to put their milk in I guess I will buy 3 for me and my kiddies

I went back on the 18th. I made a one week menu for all my meals. I then brought all my food that I was going to eat during the week with me on Monday. Other than trading around, I have stayed with it. I make sure I have all the protein and liquids.
