What was for breakfast this morning?



Recommended Posts

I have one egg with American cheese, and 1 piece of bacon every morning. I've worked myself up to a jumbo egg and 2 pieces of cheese, but I have done the same thing since I was allowed to have eggs during the food stages.

I boringly have a premier protien shake with coffee most every morning. Sometimes on the weekends i make a one egg omelet with morning star fake bacon and cheese. The omelet ends up cold before i can even finsh half...so its not something i do too often.

Today was my mom's birthday, so she and I went to brunch at a favorite restaurant. I got this beautiful plate with Two eggs Benedict and hash browns and fruit. It's very naughty, but an absolute favorite.

I ate most of one half muffin worth of Eggs Benedict. It was amazing. And a strawberry. And a tiny bite of Mom's birthday dessert.

Had to put the other muffin half with egg, ham and hollandaise in a box...with all of the hashbrowns and most of the fruit.

We stopped at my brother's on the way home and my nephew scarfed it down. Was very happy he did, since cold Eggs Benedict sounds kinda awful. Kid zapped it in the microwave and didn't care that the yolk cooked. LOL

The hollandaise is insanely rich, but given that I didn't even touch the hashbrowns and only ate one...I feel ok about it:)

Made curry chicken for dinner with a cucumber salad. Lighter carb free dinner balanced it all out. Daily calories and Protein were within legal limits.

And got eight miles of walking in...so feeling positive about the day's diet in spite of it.

When I started dieting in June of last year...it was hard for me to get 8000 steps in a day...which for me is a little over 3 miles.

I've been increasing my steps a little at a time for over 6 months and I'm up to about 18.000 per day...which is between 7 and 8 miles. (a little different for each person depending on your height and stride length).

So yeah...I'm talking all day, all the little walks added up. I don't walk it all in one sitting..lol:)

But the walking really has made a tremendous difference for me.

It doesn't matter if you have to start at 5000 steps, or even 3000 steps. Just start walking and tracking your progress. You'll be amazed that each day you become a little more fit. Add steps as you can tolerate them.

My Fitbit is one of my most valued tools:)

Today's Breakfast was weird. I had vegetable Soup. Homemade. Thickened with pea Protein Powder and brown rice Protein powder. With crunchy wasabi peas on top like crackers. LOL.

Odd breakfast, but it was good. I love homemade veggie soup. Had it for a snack this afternoon, too:)

I rotate through pretty much the same three or four things. A one egg omelet with .5oz mozzarella cheese and .5oz diced ham.

A hardboiled egg, sometimes with a tiny bit of butter.

Scrambled egg with mozzarella cheese.

Sometimes I have a Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Patty or add the sausage crumbles instead of ham.

I'm very content with the breakfast...it's funny to wake up looking forward to it when I have it every day! :)

We are Breakfast doppelgängers! I also do a premier with coffee (usually decaf) most mornings and mix it up with an omelette on Saturday mornings. It’s worked well for me for the past 6 months, so I’m sticking to it! I really love the chocolate premier/coffee combo, to the point that I look forward to it. A couple days a week a top it with some whipped cream, which is heavenly.

I had some coffee, which I'm not supposed to have for another six months or so, with milk, because we're out of half and half. Then, after waiting the obligatory half hour, I had two little Jimmy Dean frittata things--they look like muffins but they're eggs, bacon, and spinach. Very easy in the microwave.

Yesterday it was one egg--I still can't eat two--and three small pieces of turkey sausage and an English muffin (another sin). I'm living in someone else's home and I'm surrounded by evil temptations--I'm moving next week and will be much, much better in a house without so much forbidden stuff around.

Sure, this may be a weak excuse. Or I'm weak. Whatever--I'm basically okay with my rate of loss and expect to lose as much again (my doctor's expectation) or more (my expectation). To some extent, I'm trying to find a way to eat that will work forever. So sometimes the carbs will sneak in. Mostly the drive to get in sufficient Protein doesn't leave much room for them.

It was Sunday morning so I made Protein pancakes flavored with flaxseed and cinnamon and topped with maple Syrup and Peanut Butter. Now I’m too full to move!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
