I'm planning to make a Breakfast casserole for mother's day. I had planned to substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage, but will it turn out the same if I use egg beaters instead of regular eggs? Anyone tried it or have recipes for healthier breakfast casseroles? Thank you!

It should come out ok- not as moist as if you used eggs. You might want to go half and half. Happy Mother's day!

I don't like egg beaters myself so my suggestion would be to use half eggs and half whites. I make a breakfast casserole myself and I use the jimmy dean (light) sausage which is excellent. I haven't compared the calories to turkey sausage but the flavor of the JD is excellent and you'd never know it's light. I normally use 8 eggs but I only use 4 yolks. My recipe calls for seasoned croutons and shredded cheese so that is where the calories increase. The lower cal cheese really doesn't make much of a taste difference after it's baked but I haven't found a solution to the croutons or bread yet. Bummer! it's my favorite brunch dish.

You might look at Eggface's breakfast bites. They're basically a breakfast casserole in miniature form and don't use any bread/croutons.

Melissa mentioned the website "theworldaccordingtoeggface" check out her recipe for triple berry baked pancake also. I make it in a pie pan and divide it into 6 slices, it is really good. Have also used peaches, apples and just strawberries-top with alittle SF syrup-YUMMMM

Get the spicy Italian Turkey sausage from Butterball.

Go ahead and use real eggs. They've gotten a bad rap over the years. You might want to read "The Great Cholesterol Con" by Dr. Malcom Kendricks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
