Had pancakes for breakfast



Recommended Posts

I know there's a lot of recipes online for Protein pancakes, but I'm not a big fan of cooking and even less of a fan of grocery shopping, so I thought I'd wing it with what I had in the house this morning. I made 1/2 batch of Bob's Red Mill Buttermilk pancakes with 1% milk and added 2 instead of 1 egg and a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder. It made 8 pancakes...I ate one and froze the other 7 for future "grab and go" microwave breakfasts. I had no Syrup in the house so I topped it with a little bit of butter and a pinch of sugar (yes, REAL sugar) with a side of 1/2 sausage link. YUMMY!!!

For those of you who count calories and stuff, I did some calculations as I was mixing. I normally don't track anything, but don't worry, I got all "A's" in math.... Turns out each pancake (without the butter and sugar) has about 3.5g carb, 5g Protein, and 54 calories. Sorry, didn't look at the fat numbers. Anyways, it was a nice change from all the eggs and oatmeal and yogurt and shakes I've been having for Breakfast, and I'm stuffed!

I've heard that heat messes with Protein Powder. Do you know anything about this?

Sounds good. I might try that. Also, a pinch of powdered sugar might taste better than granulated if you had it.

Protein powder will definitely clump in liquids if heated above 140 degrees. Just like when you add an egg to egg drop Soup. Didn't seem to make a difference when mixed in the pancake batter and cooked.

OMG I love pancakes...... I will try this. I make a ricotta pancake that's pretty good and super simple. It's 1 egg, 3 tbsp. whole wheat pancake mix, 1 TBSP sf butterscotch pudding mix, 1 TBSP of Torani SF Syrup (Caramel or cinnamon and brown sugar are good), 1/2 c low fat ricotta. Mix together and fry up. They are super fragile and sometimes come out looking like "scrambled pancakes" but they are sooo good. Top with sf jam or sf syrup.

For me, I would have skipped the butter and sugar and used sliced fresh fruit instead.

My grandma used to serve pancakes with butter and sugar, so it was a yummy trip down memory lane for me.

You might want to try sugar free Syrup - tastes similar and will minimize your possibility of dumping

I have noticed I have about lost interest in all food. :unsure:

I am happy with my shakes, ice cream, greek yogurt and cottage cheese

I was like that for about 3 months. Just as soon have an IV in so I didn't have to even think about eating and drinking. I "snapped out of it" a few weeks ago. It's actually nice to finally be enjoying food again.

No dumping with VSG (at least in theory) because your pylorus is in tact and nothing is rerouted so there is normal digestion. Of course some sleevers have reported it, but not nearly as common.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
