Right now, pre op, I have a Protein shake every morning made with : 8 oz soymilk, 2 scoops Protein powder and one 6 oz container of Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt, comes out to about 27 grams of Protein and 9 grams of sugar. Plus it counts towards my liquid intake and with the yogurt, I can switch the taste up with the flavor of yogurt I use.

that's a lot of sugar. I was thinking about posting how I see people eating yogurt that I know has a lot of sugar in it. I personally eat the light and fit carb and sugar smart yogurt which has less than 1g of sugar. Im just thinking that its imperative that you get the sugar out of your diet before the surgery, don't just limit it, the old, everything in moderation bit is a bunch of bull, we are obese we are fat yes I say it not in anger or hate but to remind myself why im doing this, I use it as motivation, take it to heart I love you all, and lets face it, if youre not one of us you will never truly understand us or the pain we hide, some deeper than others, and some rationalize it more but I know we all have felt it.

Give yourself the best chance at success. It seems like the people here that are the most successful really do the work, and don't say well this is ok, or that's ok, its only little of this etc. I hate reading about people who fail or are obviously failing. Don't be one of those we can all do this, I believe that with my heart and soul. Sure im projecting my own fears, but hey nobodys perfect, but we damn sure have to try. :D

On Sundays, I hardboil a bunch of eggs and take one to work every day for Breakfast. I combine that with a Protein bar and coffee and then for a mid-morning snack I either have yogurt or cottage cheese.

On weekends, I have an egg over easy with one slice of multigrain toast. Sometimes I eat the whole slice of toast, sometimes not. And sometimes I make 2 eggs but usually don't eat all of both. Today I only made one egg and I'm good.

Typically I have coffee (regular, none of this Decaf stuff) with a scoop of vanilla body fortress in it. I also add SF Creamer and SF Torani Syrup. Then when I get to work at 9am I have a random Greek yogurt flavor. Today was strawberry parfait. So by 9:30 I have 41 grams of Protein in me.

I love Breakfast...

I boil a dozen eggs in the beginning of the week to be ready.

Another quick option, scramble an egg in a mug, add some cheese, nuke for 30 seconds, add more cheese (if you wish), nuke another 20 minutes... it remains hot in the mug so you can take it to go :)

only one dirty dish

easy, hot, ready in a minute!

If I don't have anything, I go to McDonalds and have them do an Egg McMuffin, without the muffin and cheese in the middle (so it doesn't stick to wrapper)...

I usually have a cup of light Greek Yogurt (Dannon Light N Fit 80 calories) with sme low fat granola added in for crunch. Weekends we go out for breakfast and I usually have a splurge 2 eggs soft scrambled with some cheese in them and a slice of rye toast and some bacon Or I make a veggie omelete with broccoli, onions, peppers and spinach and cheese,

I saw somneone else in the thread post they add Cheerios to their yogurt. I may try that since they are low cal. Thanks for the tip! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
