Still on the "Full" liquid stage of my post-op diet. Have another 2-3 weeks and then I will slowly start adding in soft veggies ( don't think that I can do "pureed" stuff...eeewwww). Trying to keep my carbs at about 50 grams per day ( if possible)...and the key word here is TRYING. Going to do my best to get in at least 40 oz. of pure Water. No teas..no Protein waters... just good ole H20. Started back using myfitness pal to keep track of my carbs/fat/sugar/sodium. I also am trying to get an idea of how many calories I eat on average. So what have some of you veterans/newbies had or will have for Breakfast today?

For me an Atkins Cafe Caramel shake ... it doesn't taste all that great...not sure if I will buy them again.. but they have 15 grams of protein and about 4 grams of carbs so I might keep 'em around for a while. Especially when I return back to work.

My breakfast this morning was 2 strips center cut bacon and half of an egg. Not a daily thing, but occasionally. Center cut has 60 cal for 2

3 pieces of turkey bacon, shredded cheese and salsa in a whole wheat tortilla. I am not a fan of eggs.

One hardboiled egg - usually I fry it (in Pam) or have yogurt. On Sunday I had two pieces of center cut bacon - it was yummy!

I had maple brown sugar Quaker Instant oatmeal low sugar variety only 110 calories and I think 7 g of protein.

Unjury Chocolate. Splendor Protein, PB2, skim milk and ice in my Ninja!

I bought a Ninja this summer and haven't used it since. When I move on to heavier foods I will definitely start experimenting with smoothie recipes. Really want to start juicing a bit as well to. Recently saw "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and was totally blown away by the experiment Joe Cross did with his 60 day juice fast. Won't be fasting...but would like to incorporate fresh juices in my daily diet.

Breakfast for me today will either be Optisource Carmel shake or Atkins Carmel Cafe Shake. Didn't like the Atkins Carmel Cafe shake at first, but they are starting to grow on me...so will probably purchase a few more.

I happen to be a fan of shakes. I do like most of the Atkins products, I mostly used them during my liquid phase. Now I make my own with Protein Powders. My NUT agrees that for me, starting the day with a Protein Shake is a good idea. Most days I am up and out of the house and on the road. Plus I like getting 30plus grams of protein early in the day.
