Ideas needed for Breakfast



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Starting out now slowly on real foods. My doctor told me that he wants me to eat mushy foods and some solid foolds to see how I do with them. I'm torn on what to eat for Breakfast. Any ideas?

I always do well with my standard breakfast:

Morning Omelette

3 ozs egg beaters. 50 calories

2 pinches of low fat cheese. 80 calories

2 ozs of crumbled turkey sausage. 80 calories

diced onions and red peppers. 15 calories

225 calories depending on how much cheese and sausage you add.

I've never got stuck on this recipe and it is very satisfying. I sometimes add some salsa if I'm feeling frisky :P

Yogurt is good in the morning you can add some blueberries or any soft fruit if you have to eat soft food. When you can do regular food you can try adding granola, if you let it sit for a few minutes it softens up too.

That naked smoothie looks different! I might have to try that. Thanks!

I like oatmeal and used to eat it before the band. Haven't tried it yet, but I hope to soon!

I always have to eat animal Protein for breakfast. Actually, at every meal, but if I don't have it first thing in the morning, my blood sugar totally whacks out. That said, eggs are a daily occurrence :-) When I get sick of over easy, scrambled, scrambled with a little bit of 2% milk shredded cheddar......I make egg salad. I use Hellman's Low Fat mayo, and it's GREAT!

When I'm sick of eggs all together, I'll make a small turkey or hamburger patty. Sometimes, I'll have a 2oz patty with an egg on top. SOMEtimes I'll make an egg taco. I did that this morning with a corn tortilla, scrambled egg and a slice of Kraft American cheese (45 cal). Total calories - 195.

Then - when I can't face any of my breakfast options, I'll have a Protein shake :-)

Catfish - how much Protein is in the Naked smoothie?

That one is only 4g per bottle, but some of them go all the way up to about 30 grams of Protein per bottle. there are some with about 200 calories, going up to almost 400 calories per bottle so you probably have to use them as a Meal Replacement. I really like the flavor of some of them. but the ones with higher protein tend to taste like liquid chalk to me. they are not where I get my protein from

Personally I like to keep it simple if I have breakfast at all. A hard boiled egg or a 1 oz. chunk of extra sharp cheddar.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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!
