Hi! I'm 4 weeks out and returning to work tomorrow.  Just wondering if anyone has some ideas of what I can take in my lunch.  I get 30 minutes to eat and have a refrigerator available.  I'm in the middle of my 3-5 week stall :(.  Thanks!

I did chili a lot during that stage, was easy to make and take to work to reheat. But for other helpful ideas it really depends on what stage of eating you are on. since every doctor is different, by 4 i was on soft foods so I did chili, yogurt, soups, beans with cheese, ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce, Soft taco minus the shell.

I am still pre op but what about a hard boiled egg? I take them a few times a week.

I would probably do different versions of devilled eggs. You can add tuna to them for extra protein also. Yogurts are great, SF Pudding.

Other ideas are chicken salad, tuna salad, beans with cheese, leftover salmon.

Hope that helps!

the deli at my local grocery store does chicken salad.  i would take the chicken salad and put in food processor to chop it up more and eat with saltines.  i loved yogurt

 

i did lots of refried beans with cheese, deli and cheese rolls.  please go to the  site www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogsport.com/  and check out her bento boxes. she also is on pintrest and has lots of bento box ideas there also.  if you don't know what a bento box is it is a lunch box with divider containers for each one of our choices given you a variety
