I am 3 and a half months post op and have lost 80 pounds. My wife and I were undecided on where to go for Breakfast the other day and thought about crepes but was unsure if I could eat them. What are your thoughts.

Crepes are basically just scrambled eggs.....It's the FILLINGS you have to be wary of :wacko:

If you think you can handle it....go ahead and enjoy a crepe.

Ok ... so they are more of an eggy pancake...but still, it's the toppings/fillings to be wary of. I had a piece of french toast on Sunday and IT DID NOT KILL ME!

I guess it depends on how they are made. Traditionally they are mostly flour, like a thin pancake. If I'm craving something like that I generally make my own with Protein powder and mashed banana.

When eating out for breakfast I tend to stick with meat and eggs. Protein and more protein.

There's no reason you shouldn't be physically able to eat crepes. Would I recommend it as a regular thing? Probably not because of the higher carbs. But once in a while would be fine. No one is going to be perfect 100% of the time. For me, when I'm out to breakfast, I always order a scrambled egg with a little feta cheese melted in and a side of breakfast sausage (preferably turkey if they have it).

      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!!
