Does anyone know how Charles are reheated? Wondering if it is something I could prepare ahead of time and reheat for bfast during the week..

I’m not sure how they would reheat. I make little “egg bakes” that I make in the oven on the weekend and heat in the microwave for a minute during the week for Breakfast.

If you’re interested in doing that I just cook meat and sauté in some veggies then add that mixture to a muffin tin, top with some kinda shredded cheese and then pour in a mixture of egg and plain Greek yogurt with spices. Bake at 350 for 25-30 min.

Is that half of a mini waffle or half of an 8" waffle? Which chaffle recipe did you use? They look so beautiful!!! Yummy breakfast!

I made vanilla ones for Sunday brunch. Had them with sf maple Syrup and bacon and an egg and a couple bites of grits. So. So. So. Satisfying! And the payout for me is using the psyllium, I'm poopin' like a princess! :D It's a winner, winner, waffle dinner! :) Can't wait to try chocolate flavored then have peanut buttah on them! :D

It’s half of an 8” waffle. All he used was mozzarella cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Now that I know I like it we will experiment with more veggies that are on the drier side and spices! 😃

Oh the vanilla, and chocolate Peanut Butter ones sound wonderful!!

You should totally try the one from the Link I posted a couple pages back. Using the egg whites instead of whole egg + psyllium powder, plus part skim mozza. So damn good. Flavor them any way you want. Super low cal, low carb, lots of Protein + Fiber. And they really taste bread-ish. Not that metallic overcooked yolk taste from using the whole egg.

I actually feel guilty eating them, cuz it feels like I'm cheating...but so far, the psyllium is counteracting the cheese so regularity is staying the same and maintenance doesn't appear to be affected. :)

Went out to eat with the family yesterday. Ordered the fish Ceviche. Ate a little over 1/2 cup and a bite of the sweet potato. My brother also gave me a little piece of his roasted chicken to try.... I was stuffed. Its back to cooking today!

This one I actually ate! 😂

It is not the prettiest meal ever. Next time I'd use less enchilada sauce and/or not precook the quinoa

He's a lucky guy!

If he loves mushrooms, you might give this a try. Absolutely delicious and lots less work than stuffed mushrooms.

      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.
