I'm about 5 months out (OMG!) and I'm starting to get bored with eggs, cheese, sausage options for Breakfast.

on Sunday I had a buckwheat pancake with sausage, and it was wonderful!! But I'm not willing to do that everymorning. -too many carbs!

so I'm lookiing for some alternative, low carb ideas please! Thanks so much!!!!

well it depends on what you are looking for? You can make egg muffins. Just need some egg and whatever else you like and mix and put in muffin cups then bake.

You can eat pancakes. There is low carb flour made by Atkins and Tova. I buy all my low carb goodies on netrition.com. Its not cheap, but a bag of LC flour last me forever. I edulge every once in a while. Low carb tortillas are sold at grocery stores. make a burrito or something.

I like to take Missions low carb tortillas and make burritos . They have 13 grams of Fiber in it I believe and it makes the net carbs only six and they are delish .

I take one of them put eggs, sausage, or bacon in it and salsa .

I also eat Cereal . Not every day but maybe twice a week. I like Kellogg's Fiber One with antioxidants in it . Great fiber . And they got some great tasting brands out there . I like the one with the yogurt in it .

Also , I know its not breakfast but some days I just take one of my low carb tortillas and take steak ums , mushrooms, pepper jack cheese, onions , green peppers and make a steak sandwich boy that is delish !!!

My go-to breakfast on weekdays is 1/2 c egg beaters with a veggie sausage, some kind of cheese, and some random veggies thrown in. I can make it really easy the night before, and stick it in the microwave once I get to work. It does get kind of old sometimes, but I do manage to switch it up with the following:

Greek yogurt is great because it has more Protein than regular yogurt. It is also a lot thicker than regular yogurt, so it stays in the pouch longer (for me at least). I mix mine with some kind of berries, slivered almonds and drizzle a little bit of agave to cut out the tartness.

On occasion, I will have cereal with soy milk. Some of my favs are Special K with Red Berries, Kashi GoLean Crunch, and good old Honey Nut Cheerios.

I also really love cottage cheese. I mix it with a packet of the low-carb maple&brown sugar oatmeal-this may sound really gross, but I promise if you like cottage cheese, it is a nice change up.

At least one weekend morning, I will make me a kind of "splurge" breakfast-pancakes, french toast or waffles with sugar free Syrup. I don't do this very often because carb-filled breakfasts don't keep me full as long as ones that are protein-based.

thank you! I think I'll get some cottage cheese and give that a try.

I'm not at my green zone yet and have a fill scheduled, so maybe then the greek yogurt will stay put! lol

Sounds like I need to add some cereal to it. Maybe then it'll stay in my pouch. right now I use the greek yogurt in place of a Protein Shake, just to add more protien to my day.

I do the greek yogurt with granola in it .. I also have done a tbsp. of melter Peanut Butter in the micro.. then slice a banana and dip it in the PB like a dip... lastly I do a crustless quiche made mostly of cottage cheese and not so much egg .. gives me a quick option all week..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
