Keeping breakfast interesting



Recommended Posts

My question is to all the post op guys and gals out there. How are you keeping it inyerestung in your breakfast..... im one of the lucky few who doesnt do well with scrambled eggs so i learned that egg white omlettes are my very best friend but a guy can only eat so many egg white omlettes..... and recipes or ideas out there that youd be willing to share to help out? Keep in mind I work 8 to 5 everyday so cooking for 3 hours before i go to work isnt really an option.

Thanks guys and gals!

Just found a fun site for bariatric recipes, actually. There are some fun breakfasts here:)

https://www.bariatricfoodie.com/recipe-index/

My go-to Breakfast when I don't have time to cook is half a Premiere Protein caramel shake in a big mug of coffee with a wasa toast smeared with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter.

Cottage cheese is breakfast worthy. With a little fruit or salsa, it gets the protein grams in.

I'm a huge fan of no-sugar maple oatmeal packets with a few almonds or pecans, too.

I usually eat an egg white omelette, but keep it interesting by changing what's in it. Sausage and cheese are my go to's, but you can put all kinds of stuff in it. Turkey or ham are good, peppers or other veggies.

Otherwise Chobani Greek yogurt is quick and easy and comes in a lot of flavors.

My wife makes yogurt for me, both regular and greek. I usually throw a teaspoon of honey in there for a nice hint at sweet, or maybe a small spoon of some preserves. I do that and a couple cheese sticks, easy peasy.

I also use premiere Protein Shakes if I am running late and need to consume on my way to work.

I have also added Fairlife chocolate milk to my coffee in the morning to offset the Water deficit and get a little Protein in at the same time.

Monday through Friday I eat a greek yogurt every morning for breakfast and then have a Protein Shake about 1 1/2 hours later.

Weekends I am usually a little looser with my breakfast. I will have Cream of Wheat, turkey bacon and eggs, Protein Cereal, oatmeal

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
