3 weeks out brown bag ideas?
I did a lot of yogurt as well, and cottage cheese and applesauce. It took a while then I would change to sliced turkey and cheese rolled up like a hot dog! Peanut butter and saltines are allowed as well. I keep a Tupperware "shaker" at work... Course, Im at a school and have access to a carton of skim milk to do a protein shake for a snack if I get empty feeling.
I know how you feel. It's hard for me to come up with stuff for lunch either...and I'm 4.5 months out. Good luck!
Hi Maureen,
As a patient of Dr. Procter's too, I can give you some ideas that I am using.
I work in a school, so some things are easy. But, one thing I do is take a small container of Dannon carb control yogurt every day, and mix in one scoop of unflavored protein powder. I use the unjury. For lunch, I bought those small glad containers. Baby food containers (the plastic ones) are great to use. I try to change things around so I am not eating the same everyday but,
I eat my yogurt around 9
by 1 I eat:
chicken salad (the canned is softer to eat)
tuna salad
lentil soup with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on it
crab meat
salad shrimp
rolled up deli turkey
refried beans with lowfat cheese
egg salad
So far these are the only things I have experimented with. Hope this gives you some ideas! How are you doing?
Kathy
