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)

      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.
