Pre-op Newbie with diet questions

ZRA, thank you do much for sharing how you manage you mornings and your success so far! You are so awesome!!

Breakfast is still my most rushed meal of the day, so I eat a protein bar while I am getting dressed in the morning. Protein shakes are really handy too, since they are portable.

I recommend heading on over to BariatricFoodie and TheWorldAccordingtoEggFace for some new recipes and ideas.

Take care:)

Thank you for the website info and how you manage the mornings!

Generally, I prefer to eat whole foods. I did protein drinks postop, but avoided it if I could otherwise.

It's not perfect, but these days I have cottage cheese every morning for breakfast (the live active by Breakstone has probotics in it and helps with my tummy issues). I don't like nuking stuff, BUT you can spray a mug with Pam, scramble and egg, dump it in there and microwave it. I stir in a little fresh salsa. Nuke some turkey bacon and voila.

Protein bars are, as a general rule, just glorified candy bars. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Power Crunch ones and when I'm craving something, they help.

Thank you. Awesome on the eggs! I have never microwaved eggs but I will try.

They are a little odd, I'll warn you. LOL! I prefer poached and it just takes a minute to do that so I usually just start a pot of water. Nuking is a good way to get a quick bfast though!

Have  you tried the quest protein bars? i think they are great. Good stats too!

I haven't. I have a soy allergy and, looking at the ingredients, it's probably too much and I'd react to it. Fun times!

Epipen FTW! *laughing*

I don't find nuking eggs much faster than frying them ( nonstick pot)if you need to cook faster you need a nu wave induction stove, boils a pot of water in around 1 minute

 fastest food is a Greek yogurt)

I dd get a couple different brands/flavors of Greek yogurt yesterday so I can try and find one that I like (hopefully) or at least tolerate. The tangy flavor is odd to me in yogurt. I do like yoplait light yogurt but I need to compare labels with Greek yogurt.
