Bored with Breakfast! Any dieticians out there?



Recommended Posts

Some other Breakfast ideas. Cottage cheese mixed with some sugar free jam. Or cottage cheese or ricotta cheese with fresh diced cucumber and / or Tomato. Morningstar farm sausage patties are good and have 10 G Protein. (They also make sausages but haven't tried them yet). I recently made some cottage cheese oatmeal pancakes that were a nice treat. I have also made omelets with one egg and 1-2 egg whites with some shredded reduced fat cheddar and some sautéed veggies (I like mushrooms, onions, and / or zucchini). Saw a recipe for a tofu scramble that I might try (tofu instead of eggs). eggs scrambled with smoked salmon or smokes trout is good.

I am 12 weeks out and trying to minimize the carbs too.

Pssst. I have a secret.

I have managed to lose my weight AND maintain it without a dietitian or NUT. I find most of them don't know squat about what a bariatric patient needs.

Find healthy, non processed stuff loaded with Protein and nutrients you like and go from there!

Actually, that was @@Babbs -- she's hot with a great rack.

Yes, I recall.* Sometimes when the posts are layered like lasagne or mille feuille, a few layers slip off the virtual fork.

*The post that is, not the rack.

You need to see her rack.

there's no way for you to tell who is an RD and who isn't, so any advice you get here from someone who labels themselves a professional in the field should be suspect at the least.

Huh? Just when things were simmering down.

I question whether everyone who claims to have had surgery really has.

This thread has me craving an omelet made some left over Maryland blue crab cake... An advantage to not be able to eat a whole one for diner.

@AmiLou... It is probably obvious at this point that there are not many dietitians hanging out. Few that might be around are also WLS patients too. My NUT did allow thin oatmeal and even mash potatoes during the purée phase... Just to get me through. After that carbs were not forbidden but I should only eat them if I am meeting my Protein requirements. To her the ideal early carbs were green veggies. She warned me about being very careful with Protein Bars. The ones that are edible are usually high in carbs. If you found a tasty one that really is low in carbs please share. I get being bored with food... It happens all the time with me. Eating healthy but tasty variety food is critical for me staying on track. Luckily there are many wise vets (not me I am only 8

Months out) with great ideas for keeping things interesting.

Hell's bells! Some people even claim that they were able to "ignore" it immediately pot op for a spell. ;)

My go to breakfast is a vegetable omelette made with mushrooms, peppers, and spinach. Some mornings I am tempted to have a slice of toast, but so far I have resisted that temptation. This morning I also had some "hash browns" made with onions and thinly sliced zucchini. It helps having something with a different texture than the omelette.

Oh Yeah One bars. Delicious, almost too delicious. Low carbs, high Protein. You can't find them just anywhere though. I get that at my local supplement store.

      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!!
