Brunch of last night's coconut chicken with cilantro and even more lime squirted on for good measure.......yum.

Usually I skip Breakfast and get hungry mid-day. My husband is consistently hungry at 11:00 and has what Tolkein referred to as "Elevenses." By this time he's already had a big serving of full fat yogurt with a dollop of cherry preserves. After breakfast and elevenses he is looking for lunch. Then tea. Then dinner. Geesh, no wonder I was fat! Not him, though. Genetics, sigh.

Late morning is when I get hungry too! Awkward time as everyone else expects lunch soon after! Elevenses is a very traditional English affair, long pre-dating Tolkein. It is a normal part of our language here, used by everyone!

I've never liked breakfast and never will but these days I have it in order to exercise. Breakfast now is sometimes yogurt sometimes a handful of nuts and sometimes a can of tuna.< /p>

I like breakfast foods. A vegetable omelet with feta cheese is one of my favorite things to eat. I just don't particularly care to eat early in the morning. I enjoy a good brunch.

Chili dog with cheese minus the bun! Taco soup! I work nights so breakfast time is supper time for me and even on my days off I like breakfast foods at night.

I have not (cannot) had a breakfast consisting of solid foods since surgery over 4 years ago....but I have become a connoisseur with my VitaMix....generally AFTER I go to the gym, also doubles for a recovery shake.< /p>

Start the day with 35-40 grams Protein.< /p>

Haha, I love it. It is so interesting to see what people eat and find “weird” versus “normal!” I love the differences between cultures – some breakfasts that are completely normal in some cultures end up being another culture’s weirdest breakfast!

I haven’t had anything too weird…probably because I’m not much of a chef! My strangest would probably be leftovers on an occasion when I’m pretty stuck for time and need something healthy. I might come up with something like leftover salmon and, since I love fruit, blueberries. I guess it’s like being an Alaskan bear. :)

Funny how many of us eat fish for breakfast.

I didn't really have breakfast before, maybe a yogurt or brunch on weekends (loved eggs Benedict!!!).

Now, not hungry until mid afternoon. Probably not forever, but it's working. Today I hit 100 lbs lost since surgery 04/26/14!

Leftovers-- sweet potato cakes, cilantro Soup, fish, chicken, insides of street tacos, stuff like that.

Or there's always the spoonful of Peanut Butter =P

This is a south texas thing, and has become a common breakfast staple since I began to cut carbs. But I love me some chicharrones (translation: fried pork rind) and eggs scrambled together. Dump some salsa on it, and you got yourself a fine breakfast there.

@@Jerr_Bear - Funny thing. I live in Philly and like NYC, there is a mix of cultures. Last year I was getting my kitchen redone and wondered why my cat kept bothering the work men. Turns out he was buying chicharrones for lunch and would share with the cat.

I pretty much eat leftovers every day for breakfast and lunch if I'm going to work. Sometimes it will be the same leftovers, and sometimes two different kinds of leftovers from the night before. My mother calls this weird. I don't think it's that weird though!

      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
