Well, since many of us with are tighter in the morning, my main meal is a chocolate Protein Shake blended with frozen strawberries, and then about 3 hours later I have a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal with a little Protein Powder mixed in. I just ordered some PB2 and PB2 with chocolate to try with my oatmeal. eggs also work for me, while the don't for many other people.

I can't eat as soon as I wake up. My band just doesn't want to tollerate food. I usually start my day with 20 oz of Water with Crystal Light Peach Mango Green Tea mixed in it. Then I drink a cup of coffee (black) when I get to work and get settled (around 7).

Then I will eat my breakfast- this ranges. Since I don't have a stove to cook anything on it has to be done with a microwave or toaster. I also don't like eating the same thing every day so here are some of my go to breakfast:

Slim Fast High Protein shake (these are for days I am really tight or am not in the office, but on the road headed to meetings)

English Muffin with Peanut Butter

Bagel with Laughing Cow Cream cheese

Special K Cereal with 1% milk

Special K breakfast Sandwich (this are acutally good)

Oatmeal with some banana mixed in

All these are good and will hold me around 3-4 hours and since I nomrally eat it around 8-8:30 it works perfectly.

What is PB2? On mornings that I go in to the office, I like to have a hard boiled egg. If I don't feel hungry first thing in the morning, that is an easy food to take along and eat at my desk. Otherwise, Kashi has some good high Protein cereals. Add 2% milk to the go lean and you're at 260 calories and 21 grams of protein! Not a lot different than a Protein Drink made with milk, but I like some crunch in the morning. Going to try it this morning with almond/cocoanut milk, fewer calories, but less protein too.

Oh, forgot one more, cottage cheese! It's quick and good Protein. I'll also eat leftover meat. had a delicious portion of leftover pork chop with BBQ Sauce last week for breakfast! I always try to make breakfast a good protein meal, it holds me until lunchtime better. But also try to keep it under 300 calories.

Breakfast options I tend to enjoy

Inc teacup of fruit and yoghurt, I sprinkle some seeds, LSA or muesli for some fibre

Smoked salmon and few vegetables, or in a half mountain bread wrap with cream or cottage cheese and chives

I also make up mini frittatas in muffin tins, I've had them across all meal times.

Protein bars can be handy on the run, often I'm satisfied with half then eat the remainder as an afternoon snack

Lately I've been having cottage cheese with fruit. I also love egg with grilled bell pepper , onions, and mushroom n a little cheese. Greek yogurt, oatmeal with Water or fat free milk, 1 whole grain waffle with Peanut Butter n jelly, Apple with peanut butter)...I feel u I work 5am to 2 so I always pack a breakfast (7am), lunch (10am) n snack (usually right before I leave work). Packing my meals works out perfect for me.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
