Default returning to work

Well, Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since my surgery. and the Doctor has allowed me to return to work.

I need to eat at least three times while at work so I was wondering what is a good small meal you can make and eat at work?
I'll take a shake with me but I'll need more than that.

Default Kinda depends on what you've got at work

You don't say if you have anything like a refrigerator or a microwave available at work. You also didn't mention which stage you're in as far as food goes... some docs still have people on soft food at four weeks, some don't.

So, all I can tell you is what I'm eating now--for instance, low-fat cheese sticks make a good meal at work when you didn't have time to prepare anything.

If you do have a microwave available, my most frequent lunch is the Stouffer's baked chicken breast meals. It has gravy with the chicken, so it's not too dry for WLS folks, and it's easy and comparatively cheap.

I also always keep a box of the Atkins Morning Start Chocolate Chip Crisp Protein Bars (fill in the protein bar of your choice) in my desk to keep my protein levels up in mid-afternoon so I don't get home feeling weak and crappy.

I am four weeks post-op today and it is also my first day back at work. Here is what I brought for the day:

Low Carb Yogurt (its low in sugar and high in protein)
Cheese Stick
Protein Shake
Soup (I heat my soup up in the morning and put it in a thermos and it stays warm all day!

Hope it helps. Tomorrow I am bringing a Lean Cuisine meal, I like their spa meals cause their fish is good and the fish agrees with the pouch.
