No choices
Yeah, if you're burned out on eggs, IHOP can be tricky.
Coffee gets my vote...and maybe bacon.

Just order a side of bacon! I did that once, and I traded one piece for a few bites of my husband's breakfast to go with it. That way it's only one meal, and you won't have leftovers. One meal with a few more calories than typical isn't going throw you off plan.

Bacon. Sausage. Get a burger and eat just the meat.

I often will just ask for "a side order of meat" at restaurants. At the local Chilli's I just order a plain chicken breast a la carte. At IHOP you can probably get turkey breakfast sausage or something a la carte, or the like. A bunless sandwich. Etc. I'd order a bunless burger with sliced tomato instead of the fries on the side, or the fruit cup. Just eat 1/2 the burger and the fruit (if there's room).
I order sandwiches without bread all the time wherever I go, any dressing or sauce on the side. Old Atkins trick, just with post-op portions :)
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Usually there's at least something that falls within plan at any restaurant, but the pancake batter in the omelets is a real bummer.
I probably would order eggs over medium with bacon, fruit on the side. That's my go-to breakfast at restaurants. I don't like scrambled eggs much any more.

I can relate. I am in Thailand right now and everything is so carb focused. I doing what I can ordering seafood and chicken skewers. I've had cobb salad a couple of times but just picked at the protein. Fortunately I brought some protein bars and beef jerky with me to help with protein. Many meals have been included wirh tours and on boats with limitrd choices. Anxious about weighing when I get home, but figure I am doing the best I can under the cir****tances. That's what we have to do every day...make the best choice possible in the moment. Glad you found something that worked.
