Breakfast Struggles...



Recommended Posts

Can someone give me some Breakfast suggestions? What works for you? It's the hardest meal for me as I have to eat on the go, or take my Breakfast to work. My band is tightest in the morning and stuff like corn flakes is unbearable to eat.

Thanks!

I too have to eat at work because I get up so early. I make shakes the night before, eat a Protein Bar, grab Greek yogurt and string cheese, poor omelete mix in muffin pan and have like mini-omelete muffins that I eat off the rest of the week, get a rubbermaid bowl with milk--warm it up and add oatmeal and when it cools some, I add vanilla Protein mix. I sometimes eat that high protein Cereal from Target someone suggested on the boards. I also make Breakfast quesadillas with Southwestern style egg beaters, FF cheese, and a low carb or whole grain tortilla because I can save the rest (I usually can eat one and a half) for breakfast the next day or as a snack. I also eat the turkey smoke sausage and toast some whole grain bread or wrap it in a low-carb tortillas Hope this helps

I have a Protein Shake made with frozen fruit. Sometimes I have soft egg whites with a little lite cream cheese mixed in.

Also I have found if I drink tea or my Decaf coffee first then my breakfast goes down easier.

I am at work very early as well. I try to get a protien shake mixed up as soon as I get up and then sip it at work. I take a 20 minute break at 930 and usually eat a small serving of cottage cheese or a greek yogurt.

I have coffee, then my shower and get dressed. At that point, I can eat oatmeal or some other hot cereal. I can't eat anything more until around 10:30.

At this point, coffee is the only thing I can get down in the morning - but, it relaxes my band and I'm ready by lunch time!

Warmed carnation instant Breakfast drink. You can take it on the go and drink it on your way to work and it also has a fair amount of Protein. I also take a greek yogurt into work and eat it mid morning(around 9ish)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
