First time posting. Had sleeve done 6/12/15 dropped 40 lbs and gained a few lbs of muscle. Been hitting gym with no issues. I can actually run now. Starting work on Thursday. Job is partial office and partial hvac field work. I have no idea what to bring for lunch and snacks. Being home since surgery things were easy. Any ideas for someone who doesn't have access to a kitchen or microwave? All I can thjnk of is tuna and sardines.lol

deli meats if you can use a small cooler.  Beef jerky.

You definitely need a small to medium size cooler.  I would suggest Greek Yogurt (they even have light now).  On the go, I sometimes eat nuts (just be sure not to eat too many).  I'm able to eat Reduced Fat Crackers (I have Ritz) and have cheese with it.  (Cabot block cheese; extra sharp light, 75% less fat)  Of course you could carry uncooked carrots, broccoli, and celery and use a light salad dress as a dip.  I'd also recommend carrying water with you and drink mixes Fruit Punch that you mix in the water for flavor. They are sugar-free and only have 5 calories.  My surgeon highly recommends them especially in place of soda.

I do see a lot of people eat nuts, but that was on my "foods to avoid" list.  Aren't they hard to digest?  Not really questioning your advice, just trying to seek understanding!
