I don't think we're coming down on her. I think we're a little incredulous that 1) a doctor would perform this surgery on someone that clearly doesn't meet the typical BMI/Obesity guidelines and 2) that someone with only 34 pounds to lose would chose to do so this way. Can't deny that this surgery is a pretty extreme measure to lose 34 pounds.
I'm not being critical of her - just surprised at her choice.
So I've been trying to come up with different things I can prepare in advance and have ready to take to work with me. I made this today and it came out really good, and its such an easy thing to grab and take with me.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk (I used Skim Plus for some extra protein)
3 small turkey sausage patties (I used Banquet fully cooked turkey sausage patties)
3 TB green pepper
3 TB onion
1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar
1 TB extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Dice pepper and onion, Saute in olive oil over medium heat until soft
While those are sautéing, mix eggs and milk in bowl (season mixture with salt and pepper to your liking)
Pour mixture into muffin pan (I used a jumbo muffin pan that made 6 muffins and filled each about half way with the egg mixture). Also, make sure you spray with non-stick spray if not using a non-stick pan
Distribute veggies, sausage, and cheese evenly in each muffin
Place in oven and cook for approximately 15 minutes

If you substitute the eggs with Egg Beaters instead (1/4 cup serving per muffin), you can reduce the calories and fat.
The nutritional info would then be: Per Serving: 84 calories 1g carb 5g fat 10g Protein
I was sleeved on Oct 3rd. I couldn't feel better, I have virtually no pain and have had no problem tolerating a full liquid diet. There is just one problem I have. food looks and smells good to me. I expected to be turned off by food and that I would have to be reminded to eat. Has anyone else experienced this post op? I'm worried it will be a future indicator to my success.
