Who Needs Breakfast?

I went for a possible fill today, and I didn't get one. The Nurse asked me if I was eating meats, and I told her that I really wasn't because I was afraid of getting stuck. I explained how scrambeled eggs got me stuck the 1st time for breakfast. She suggested I stick with yogurt in the morning as our stomachs are typically a little more swollen in the morning so it's much easier to get things stuck then. Hum, I didn't know that. I mean I read that some people couldn't eat breakfast, but didn't understand why. So, now I know.

 

I'll try to have yogurt with strawberries or something from now on in the mornings. She said if I can eat meats (chicken, beef, turkey or pork) that aren't dry, and eat every 3 hours or so, that I should be in a good place. Sometimes our bodies change & I might need another fill down the road, but I could be OK. I told her I baked burgers last night (not fried or grilled), and they came out OK. I added a little honey mustard for flavor & so it wouldn't be dry. Got it down OK, so I think I'm in a good place...

 

I lost 5 pds, and she was only expecting 1 1/2 or 2 pds, so I guess thats good.

 

So, there you have it... no more eggs for breakfast for me...

Pre Op

One of my worst stuck expieriences was with a scrambled egg. OWWWW! So now I have a protein shake in place of breakfast and I have my first solid food at the time I normally have a protein shake. Also, I told my surgeon that I couldn't take chicken breasts, that they always got stuck but that chicken thigh meat went down ok. She said that was fine, that she just wanted me to get all my protein in and that if breast meat hurt me, to not eat it, plain and simple. I have gone in twice thinking I would get a fill and didn't and gone in thinking I wasn't getting a fill and got one. They know more than I do at this point, so I will defer to them.

Good luck in your journey!
