I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one that is suffering with this terrible headache from the opti-fast. I'm only in day two so I'm hoping it gets better soon! My surgery is February 25 Toronto Western hospital.
I've made the egg bites and they're pretty good. I've taken to making a couple sausage patties at once and then putting them in baggies in the fridge. Because I work where we have a kitchen, I take a raw egg (still in the shell) in a small tupperware container to work and make a scrambled egg in the microwave and just reheat the sausage. I'd gained some weight back so I enrolled in a doctor supervised weight loss program and she's having me eat more keto, so I tend to avoid carbs as much as possible...that said, I found an AMAZING recipe to make 3-4 almond flour waffles. I can only eat half so I'll put some peanut butter on one quarter and some sugar free jam on the other and just go. I put the leftovers in the fridge and I'll toast them for a snack or do the same thing the next morning. But I've also just grabbed a hard boiled egg and a cheese stick.

Thanks wrkinprogress - I like the idea of adding cottage cheese. Excellent!

Just had my orientation today!! Just wondering what people's wait times were in Hamilton and what their experience was like.
Good morning Ginny and gang. Ginny I hope they figure out what's going on with that knee.
I'm still sick. I will stay on fluids and light food today and get lots of rest.
Ginny your menu looks really yummy.

This is similar to Ginny's recommendation.
I have all the ingredients to try the egg bites in my instant pot but haven't tried making them yet. They are super packed with protein as the recipe includes eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt and whatever meat or veggie you want to add.
Apparently you can freeze them and just microwave as you need them.
This past weekend I made sausage egg cups. I used 10 eggs, 3 sausages (removed the case) and cooked them up crumbled, red pepper, green onion and 75 grams shredded cheddar. I mixed it all together and poured it into 6 large muffin tins. Cooked for about 25 mins at 350. Yummers.
Alternatively, I've also made them (in regular muffin tins) using 2 slices of deli ham, then just some shredded cheese in the bottom and crack an egg on top. I break the yolk and then cook them. Line the muffin cup with the 2 slices of ham.

Good morning everyone! Spring has sprung, temporarily! But I'll take it! Was going to go to the gym this morning but thought I better wait at least one more day as I go to the Sports Medicine Clinic this afternoon. My knee is feeling better and the swelling has gone done somewhat but I still can send shooting pains through my knee if I turn/twist the wrong way or try to use it as my dominate leg for stairs. Hopefully they can figure out something at my appointment.
B - sausage egg cup with red pepper, gr onion and cheese - YUMMO
S - greek yogurt, pineapple
L - 2 mini chicken fajitas, sour cream, cheese, small garden salad
S - Pepperette and cheese stick (in the truck)
D - chicken taco bake
Have a great day everyone!
EDITED: my pepper wasn't wired, it was red!!
