helenpgh 81 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Some other Breakfast ideas. Cottage cheese mixed with some sugar free jam. Or cottage cheese or ricotta cheese with fresh diced cucumber and / or Tomato. Morningstar farm sausage patties are good and have 10 G Protein. (They also make sausages but haven't tried them yet). I recently made some cottage cheese oatmeal pancakes that were a nice treat. I have also made omelets with one egg and 1-2 egg whites with some shredded reduced fat cheddar and some sautéed veggies (I like mushrooms, onions, and / or zucchini). Saw a recipe for a tofu scramble that I might try (tofu instead of eggs). eggs scrambled with smoked salmon or smokes trout is good. I am 12 weeks out and trying to minimize the carbs too.

Babbs 14,681 Posted August 16, 2016 Pssst. I have a secret. I have managed to lose my weight AND maintain it without a dietitian or NUT. I find most of them don't know squat about what a bariatric patient needs. Find healthy, non processed stuff loaded with Protein and nutrients you like and go from there!

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted August 16, 2016 there's no way for you to tell who is an RD and who isn't, so any advice you get here from someone who labels themselves a professional in the field should be suspect at the least.

ocgirl15 667 Posted August 16, 2016 This thread has me craving an omelet made some left over Maryland blue crab cake... An advantage to not be able to eat a whole one for diner. @AmiLou... It is probably obvious at this point that there are not many dietitians hanging out. Few that might be around are also WLS patients too. My NUT did allow thin oatmeal and even mash potatoes during the purée phase... Just to get me through. After that carbs were not forbidden but I should only eat them if I am meeting my Protein requirements. To her the ideal early carbs were green veggies. She warned me about being very careful with Protein Bars. The ones that are edible are usually high in carbs. If you found a tasty one that really is low in carbs please share. I get being bored with food... It happens all the time with me. Eating healthy but tasty variety food is critical for me staying on track. Luckily there are many wise vets (not me I am only 8 Months out) with great ideas for keeping things interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveSoon 191 Posted August 16, 2016 My go to Breakfast is a vegetable omelette made with mushrooms, peppers, and spinach. Some mornings I am tempted to have a slice of toast, but so far I have resisted that temptation. This morning I also had some "hash browns" made with onions and thinly sliced zucchini. It helps having something with a different texture than the omelette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
