Merry Xmas everyone! I was cooking Breakfast for my family this morning, and wondering if I will EVER be able to have bacon again some day. Even half a piece would be heaven. I don't want to find out what I shouldn't eat the hard and painful way. Can I learn from some of your experiences? Share please:drool:

I don't really eat breakfast foods because there isn't much I think I could eat... however, you could possibly eat crepes with some soft fruit in them (totally a calorie/carb filled choice!)

Otherwise, maybe an omelette? I have a problem with eggs, but I think it's just me.

Maybe oatmeal, but that sounds totally unappetizing! A fruit cup? Cold Cereal for sure...

I think I could eat bacon, but haven't tried. I would pat the grease out very, very well if I were to try it.

Breakfast is tricky!!! Sorry!

If you're going to a place that serves all food all day (like Denny's) get a salad or grilled fish or something. I can't eat much in the a.m. but when I do, it's almost always dinner or lunch foods.

I eat turkey bacon as I did before, without any problems. You should be ok with regular bacon as well.

It depends on your restriction. I have had 3 fills and am losing slowly but can eat anything if I chew well and watch my portions. Each surgeon has his or her own spin on "ideal" (and each bandster, for that matter) but my surgeon's goal is for me to be able to eat essentially anything, but in more "child sized" portions, and lose weight slowly over the next several years, then keep it off the rest of my life. So far, it's working. Except things with carbonation (which I CAN consume, but it isn't worth the time and trouble because they hurt and make me burp) I haven't found anything, including white untoasted bread, that I can't eat.

I have had bacon and did not have a problem with it. It was crisp and seemed to go down well.

On almost all days I have oatmeal for breakfast. I add, honey, Protein powder and Benefiber. It goes down well and keeps me full. I am not a huge breakfast eater and it is one of the things I can stomach at 6am!

I teach and we have a really early lunch, 11am, and I have to get in all of my calories and Protein, so I eat breakfast early, so I have time before my lunch to let it all digest!

I had 2 pieces of bacon for breakfast this morning. That was all I had, and it took me a while to chew it, but it was very tasty! I don't make it often, it was just a special occasion where we had a big breakfast. There were English Muffins and eggs too.. but a couple slices of bacon was enough for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
