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!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
