In between making a prenatal exam cheat sheet for the back of my clipboard

Here is your daily quiche recipe, "Breakfast Quiches to Go" --

But first, let me explain why I love quiche. Mostly it can be summed up in three words: Weight Loss Surgery. I had a biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch (hereby known as a DS or a "switch") in November 2008, when I weighed 262lbs. I currently weight 172lbs, which means I've lost 90lbs in 5 months. It's been fairy easy (I can't drink milk or eat too many carbs, otherwise I feel gross) and although it was excruciatingly painful at first, I feel fantastic now. (But I can't ever forget, it was the most pain I've ever experienced in my life, and I will never have abdominal surgery again if I can help it.)
