I am battling trying not to over eat. I found it a neccssary for me to eat Breakfast. Can i eat a veggie omlete without feeling bad. During the day i am really restricted and i dont really eat. I work in the mornings i have to be up for work at 5:30am but around 7:30am i am starving. I normally drink a Protein Shake in the morning but i find myself hungry around that time. can someone please help me with this situation. my surgery was on 4/25/12.

Ask your Dr. You don't want to mess up and then find he has to do open surgery instead of laprascopic. Also if you can't stick to what you should be doing now then how will you cope after the surgery when it is even more important?

Well maybe you didnt understand me because like i said i had my surgery on 4/25/2012. I have been following my doctors orders but i find myself really hungry in the mornings. I know i can eat eggs but i just wanted to know can i eat an omlete (veggie). The question not can i stick to the plan because i have been sticking to the plan.

Another thing is that my doctor will not tell me anything about nutrition. he wants me to pay a nutritionist $80 everytime i have a question about food items. I really dont think that is fair but hey. But most of my advice come from this website because i refuse to pay $80 everytime i need to speak to the nutritionist. My first visit with the nutritionist was $140. I cant afford paying a nutritionist every other week. So with that being said i really dont have a direct diet that was given to me i am just going with the flow of everything. But i stay within the guidelines with my ounces of food intake.

I kept wondering what that last post was talking about too........ to funny!

I also had my surgery on 4/25/12 and three days ago I had my first omlette.

As long as it is health and you are within the guidelines, go for it.

We can eat eggs, veggies and cheese so I say cook them together and have an omlette.

Oh, I wouldn't pay $80.00 just to ask questions!! LOL! Oh, btw your title says surgery date 5-25-12 and that's why Elcee thought you was on your pre-surgery diet...I think eggs are a good source of Protein for breakfast so you should be okay. You can eat a Protein Bar after your shake.< /p>

follow whatever the Dr gave you as a transition plan. I was on liquids two weeks, purees one week, mushies one week, and then slow reintroduction of real food as per my nutritionist.

my insurance covers WLS but not the dietician, but I pay the price anyways because it is invaluable. I would recommend writing up a list of questions about the food stages and what you should eat in the future. The nutritionist will be the one to give you food plans, not the Dr.

Omelettes should be good. At a month out I was given the ok for regular food and told to be cautious when trying anything knew...and chew, chew, chew.

I found that they gave me heart burn....never did before surgery, so I started using egg whites instead (never thought I would like them, but I did).....they work much better.....I usually add turkey sausage and bacon bits along with spinach, pepers and onions, mushrooms and a little low fat cheese.........I can make the whole thing for around 150 calories/4 fats/2carbs/17 Protein holds me until late afternoon.

According to my doctor and NP omlettes with veggies are great. Just don't use butter and go light on the cheese. I had one yesterday morning with onions, peppers, broccoli and a little shredded chicken I has leftover. I left out the cheese and topped it with a little fresh salsa I made. It's full of Protein and a little over 200 calories with 2 eggs.< /p>

I can tell you what I have for breakfast. For work I put the contents in small baggies and carry them with me until I want to eat (I used to leave my house at 7 so was'nt hungry had an hour drive and would eat breakfast at like 9). Individual container of Chobani Greek yogurt 0 or 2% with fruit. Baggie 1 half a scoop vanilla whey isolate, 2 tsp unflavored benefiber, splendra to taste. Baggie 2, 1-2 Protein scoops of Kashi Go Lean High Protein Cereal, couple walnuts. It mixes better if you do Baggie 1 and then add in Baggie 2. Depending on whether you add walnuts about 300 cals and 25-28 g of protein. Walnuts do have fat but it's a good fat. Adding the Protein Powder makes a thicker substance.

I made omlets with egg whites only due to my cholesterol problems. I second using salsa. Low fat laughing cow cheese is easily spread on egg whites as well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
