Top tips for hydration after sleeve gastrectomy

Buying a small and healthy lunch after a sleeve can be a nightmare. Most options are too big, or not great quality and it always seems such a waste of food and money when you’re constantly throwing leftovers out. Try some of these lunch options instead – they’re small enough and healthy, too.
- A sushi roll and seaweed salad. A sushi roll is the perfect size, just be careful as rice doesn’t sit well with some people after a sleeve.
- A half-wrap with some protein (chicken, beef, ham or cheese) and salad. Some cafes will sell half wraps which are the perfect size.
- A small garden salad with some chicken or beef as an addon. Salad bars will often have a small option (~1 cup).
- McDonalds Grilled Chicken Snack WrapTM for those times when you need something quick and readily available!
- A taco from your local Mexican. One is enough and go for something that has some salad on it fish or chicken are good options.
