WHAT ARE YOU EATING? FOOD IDEAS ?

hey everyone... its been a while since i've posted i am almost 3 months out and down 50 llbs... but have run out of food ideas... whats a regular meal for you all ?? and snacks... what do you all eat when you feel like a snack?? give it up people....i'm bored with my grilled chicken and string beans..i need to spice it up a bit! thanks everyone! ciao, Kristen

OMG - I eat so much food it is nutts. Peanut butter and crackers Popcorn Grilled Chicken on salad Tuna salad on wheat bread Egg salad on wheat bread 6" roast beef at subway Nutts Homemade chili Noodleless lasagna Mexican pie Mexican Taco salads Refried beans and cheese Fajitas String cheese Yogurt 100 cal snack bars Bananas Apples Grilled cheese sandwich I usually eat what I want now - but I am a 1-1/2 post-op. I try to stay away from carbs but I love bread so I have made the switch to a whole wheat bread if I really need a sandwich. I ALWAYS have a stock of yogurt and string cheese in the fridge for a snack, or I will have a couple of saltines with some PB on them - that really fills me up.

This is really helpful... i am getting so sick of turkey and cheese roll ups lol you're much futher out then I am, but there are still some things I can eat.... Thanks a bunch

I am 4 months out... heres what I typically eat bfast - cottage cheese w/pineapple or a protein bar (luna/detou) snacks - string cheese, soy crisps, popcorn, apple n pnut butter, cottage cheese, yogert lunch - salad (romaine, spinach, carrots, cukes), turkey and cheese wraps, chicken or tuna salad (with or without crackers) natural pnut butter and NSA jelly sammich on whole wheat (yum!!), soup, leftovers from dinner dinner - whole wheat pasta w/meatsauce, pizza (yes I eat some pizza its homemade and healthy!), turkey and cheese wraps, soup, tacos (beef or chicken), boca burger, regular burger... all with some sort of fruit and veggie dessert - yogert, jello, SF ice pops or maybe some popcorn

I feel very bored with food. I don't even feel like eating lately, anything that tastes good hurts my stomoch!!! I stick with tuna and crackers, turkey burgers, fruit and sometimes yogurt. blah!

i could have sworn i replied to this much earlier ... but i feel you on the boredom, which is why i posted this .. i am only 3 months out and feel trapped when it comes to food! I've been trying to be strict, no snacking unless i need more protein, hardly any carbs unless its a tortilla for my wraps, no sugar, no juice... blah ... i guess it beats eating everything in my sight like preop i may try a turkey burger I havent tried a lot of meats mostly chicken and fish!

THERE ARE SO MANY IDEAS HERE... Thank You so much .... you guys have been very helpful.... I am eating a lot of the same things.. glad to know i'm doing fine

Snacks: Soynuts Edamamae (steamed or dried) Turkey Jerky String Cheese or cheese sticks Soy Crisps 100 calorie snack packs low-fat graham crackers with lowfat/sugar peanut butter hummus and cucumbers, celery, and/or carrots dannon light and fit carb control yogurt sf pudding/tapioca packs Meals: -I like the Asian Veggies at Trader joes, I mix it with tofu and shrimp and stir fry (no rice) -There is a new pasta (i think it is by Barillo) called Plus Pasta (yellow package) it is whole wheat and is LOADED with protein (14grams per serving) i will make that and add a pasta sauce, some ground turkey, mushrooms, and tofu to the sauce -I do buffalo bugers (loaded with protein...like 42 grams for a patty...but can never finish a patty) I get them at Trader Joes. I grill them up and put sauted mushrooms on the top of them. -I like Boca Burgers -I do edamamae with mashed potatoes (about 2oz of potatoes and 4-6 oz edamamae) -I like quesodillas on low-carb tortillas -I like tuna and chicken salad on crackers or in a low-carb tortilla -I like the low sugar/fat peanut butter and sf jelly on low-carb tortilla Okay...that is a lot of ideas...hope this helps.

Thanks for the buffalo burger and barillo pasta ideas!!
