I know sausage and bacon have lots of fat in them, but I occasionally have that for breakfast. I like to have an omelette or some eggs sometimes too. If I'm going to work, I usually just have a Protein Bar, because I never give myself time to make something. If you like eggs, you might like eggface's bites. It's a woman who has a blog all about cooking after gastric bypass, and she has some bites, which are like mini-quiches. I love them. They freeze well, too, so if you need something on the go. Here's her website, and specifically all her "bites" recipes: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2009/10/party-time-confetti-bites.html

I eat a cup of Activia cherry yogurt with some hot tea. Then I snack on a 30gram Protein bar until lunch.< /p>

I've had a Protein Shake for breakfast since the day I was banded which will be 4 years ago this Dec. I am just not hungry in the mornings, and have never been a breakfast eater. This way I am sure I am starting the day out with a good amount of Protein. Some days I will have

half of a costco protein bar instead because they are very big.

I start the day with serious protein; a whey Protein shot and two turkey-cream cheese roll ups, followed by a tablespoon of Peanut Butter for energy. Of course, my options are limited in my environment. If I were home and had a leisurely morning, I would have some kind of wonderful herb & veggie scramble with gooey cheese and some kind of protein. I wish there was a low carb oatmeal but I think that is a contradiction in terms.

Cottage cheese, the breakfast of champions!! A half cup (when you are able to eat that much) is 13 grams of protein!! Get 1% - when you get tired of just cottage cheese, add a few slices of light Syrup peaches, or fresh berries. It's yummy! I also will scramble and egg and add a half oz of Farmers Cheese (it's made with skim milk) - or 2% cheddar. Or maybe an egg and a slice of turkey bacon. I always start my day with a 8 oz cup of skim milk so I'll get Protein right off the bat and I END my day with the same!! I hope this helps! Good luck!

I have never been a big breakfast eater, plus, I am always running late and really don't have time to make a big breakfast. Most of the time I have a Protein Shake or a Protein bar. I finally found one I really like, which is the Shakeology protein shake. They have a chocolate one that is really rich in flavor, kind of like a liquid hershey bar. It doesn't have as bad of an aftertaste either. If I do eat actual food for breakfast, it is usually just Peanut Butter on toasted whole wheat bread.< /p>

      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!
