You have done great, congratulations!!

I am 2.5 years out. My favorite Breakfast is an egg beaters omelette or scramble. I usually sautee veggies (frozen bell peppers, onions, broccoli etc), slice low calorie high Protein sausage up in the sautee. Then I whip the egg beaters with a bit of Water or milk and pour over the sautee. Turn heat down, put on cover and cook. If you stir it you get a scramble. Instead I put a bit of cheese on top and finish it under the broiler without stirring. It kinda puffs up and looks pretty. I usually eat half for Breakfast and the rest for lunch but now that my son is home he likes it too so no leftovers. It's low carb and low calorie. The key is the sausage, I buy a healthy one at costco...and it adds the main Protein to this.

Oooo, that Breakfast scramble sounds delish! I, too, usually have a premier Protein shake for breakfast because it gets in my Protein and liquid early on. When I am ready to venture out of that, I am definitely trying that!

Since I take breakfast and lunch to work my latest favorite has been greek yogurt with either oat meal or bran mixed into it. Its low cal and very filling. Using bran and Dannon yogurt the Protein is 17 grams at about 160 cals. You could also add fruit to the mix. My other go to is 2 eggs micro waved with a wedge of laughing cow flavored cheese top with salsa. About 14 grams of protein and about 200 calories. Its very filling. You could also add veggies. Since I use the microwave spinach, tomatoes and onions would work well.

I'm nowhere close (2 weeks out) to being ready for this but I've got these bookmarked for future use. The first one definitely looks like someting you could prepare the night before.

      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.
