If you are really tight, Protein shakes are great.

However, I prefer at this point to eat solids. Since I am tight first thing when I get up, I choose to drink one bottle of Water and then one cup of coffee before my breakfast.

Since I am one of these people who doesn't like the same thing day after day the following are some of the thing on my rotation. These have been approved by my doc.

1- Special K with 2% milk

2- whole grain english muffin with Peanut Butter

3- whole grain english muffin with an egg on it (here is my new recipe that is aweseom- toast a whole grain english muffin - add sprinkle of ff cheese - pouch and egg (I got a $2 egg poacher from wallyworld- crack and egg in it and heat in the mircowave - takes just a min)- add a thin slice of ham. I will make one the night before and pop it in the microwave for 60 sec and enjoy)

4- greek yogurt with fruit

I don't do well with all the carbs or slider type foods.

Egg Beater omelette with turkey sausage(or ham) and lite cheese. About 250 calories.

Egg Beaters omelette with chicken, turkey, smoked salmon or ham with some veggies like brocolli or onions and red bell pepper?

Sometimes a homemade egg mcmuffin with Oroweat flat bread, slice of deli ham. About 300 calories.

Egg Beater breakfast burrito with turkey sausage, lite cheese, low carb tortilla. I also keep some very low fat seasoned and fried hamburger around and use it in place of sausage. Salsa of course.

Sometimes I'll just have some deli sliced ham with an egg or skip the egg.

I make a great crustless quiche with egg beater mixed with normal eggs. eggs ingredients, veggies, turkey sausage, veggies cook for 60 mins at 350. It's real easy to make and makes up to 4 days of easy microwaveable leftovers.

I'm not real breakfast food fan, so most days I eat chicken breast. Sometimes I will have a shake, low sugar oatmeal or greek yogurt :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
