Anyone have any suggestions for Breakfast ideas that are high in protien and are low in starch? I know eggs are high in protien, but I actually have a little bit of a hard time getting eggs down. So I am trying to find some things to eat for Breakfast that are good for you and keep you full. My dietician tells us to eat 4 hours apart and absolutely no snacking in between. Which sometimes when I have oatmeal (starch), or a protien shake or yogurt for breakfast, I am really hungry within 2 hours. I don't have fill yet, but I am trying to eat better and need some ideas if you have any! I am hoping that once I start getting my fills, that a yogurt or protien shake will fill me up for longer! I hope this is the case anyway!

I have either Turkey Bacon or Turkey Sausage, and a Poached egg.

It's good too.

Carnitation Instant Breakfast is Good too.

I love carnation instant breakfast, but same thing, hungry after two hours. I am hoping a fill will help with that. But thanks for your input! Much appreciated!

When is your fill? I am always looking for stuff for breakfast also. My doctor said no more Protein shakes at all anymore unless it is the day after a fill. He said that i can do Protein Bars instead, just cant drink my calories anymore. At my fill someone mentioned a mini Quiche that you can make ahead of time. I will see if I can find it to post for you :)

Good luck!

This is what I have for breakfast: Chobaini greek yoghurt 0% fat with fruit; 2 teaspoons benefiber, 1/2 scoop vanilla whey isolate Protein Powder, splendra, 1/4 cup kashi go lean (high Protein version). Mix the powder ingrediants then the Cereal. I find if I mix and let sit for a 2-3 minutes it also firms up the yoghurt. I say about 25 g protein for about 250 cal.

Here are a couple items that I eat for breakfast with relevant nutrition information:

1. Low Fat Cottage cheese - 1/2 Cup is 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 13 grams of Protein

2. Pure Protein Bar - I like the smores and Peanut Butter flavor. The smores is 180 calires, 5 grams of fat, and 19 grams of Protein. The

Peanut Butter is 200 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 20 grams of protein. I buy these at walgreens. They are perfect size for me (less than

2oz)

3. Boiled Egg with Low Fat Sargento Cheese: 120 total calories, 11 grams of fat, and 12 grams of protein

4. Boost Low Calorie chocolate Shake: 190 Calories, 7 grams of fat, 16 grams of protein

Hope this helps :D

Some days I still do a Protein Shake because it's quick (my nutritionist is ok with it as long as it is occaisional). My other favs are egg beaters with lauging cow cheese and turkey sausage, chobani yogurt and oatmeal (I try to keep my carbs below 40g per day so oatmeal and yogurt are not something I do often).

I know you said eggs are hard to get down but you might want to scramble some up with a little salsa or sauteed mushrooms and onions. Seems to help me.

I do turkey sausage crumbles with 1/2 cup egg whites. I heat the sausage crumbles for a minute and then add the egg whites (egg beaters type). Perfect amount and taste really yummy. Sprinkle a pinch of shredded cheese and your good to go.

      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.
