The Omelet

Off to lafayette today late afternoon, packing and getting ready today. We are going to spend a night in a hotel and enjoy the hotel’s indoor pool as a family before I check into the hospital in the morning.

Decided to make something special this morning for my wife and I. I did still need to fit within the confines of my “pre-operation diet” So i present to you,

The Omelet

Attachment 153798

quick trip through the recipe, This is a true Omelet made in the French Country style. It simply does not get any better than this for me.

1) Mise en place. Prepare your ingredients. For this mornings omelet i choose 3 colors of peppers, some green onion, white american cheese, and for meats pork sausage to crumble and place in omelet, with thick cut bacon on the side.


2) Saute your vegetables


3) 4 eggs add splash of 1/2 & 1/2 and season to your liking (for me that means greek seasoning and a dash of cajun seasoning) Whip em up.

4) Into your omelet pan over the sauted veg. begin to develop your “curd” by gently using a fork to pull the half cooked egg to the middle of pan. Once curd is mostly set add in sausage and 1/2 of cheese


after it’s no longer to runny fold and add your last slice of cheese to the top. add small splash of water and cover with your serving plate to steam.

Plate, and serve.


This post represents a farewell to well made food for a while. My diet will be restricted to protein shakes and pureed foods for a quite some time post surgery.

But a year or so in the future, I will be once again able to enjoy very well made foods (just in much smaller portions) and i am A-OK with that.

Thanks guys,

Back home from the hospital, feeling pretty good. Looking forward to shedding some pounds now... hopefully will heal up enough to get in a little bit of spawn fishing :)

Prowler, wishing you the best of luck with the procedure you had done and pray that it is a total success. While you are rehabilitating your eating habits maybe you can come up with a healthy diet plan that does involve some of the foods everyone really likes to eat. Maybe you can come up with a good cook book out of this too. Great foods in moderation will have you in shape in no time with the help of the procedure. May you heal fast and see you later. Ferdi

I know a couple of people that had lap band surgery...one was my sister, the other my best friend. Sister lost a lot of weight and kept it off by eating right and in small quantities. Best friend lost initially, but loves certain foods, and continued to eat as much as he could so it didn't do him much good. A fix is great, but follow up is what makes the difference. I wish you the best luck in reaching your goal! If the will is there, the results will follow.

Glad to hear that all went well.
