Breakfast Ideas & Help

[kadeez 2]

I was banded on the 23rd. I have read several comments from people stating the band works better with warm foods in the morning, along with my surgeon saying the same thing. With that being said, I go back to work in a week. I plan on visiting the gym before I go. I have an hour drive to work & would live to be able to drink my Breakfast in the car. Does anyone have any tips or ideas you can recommend?

I usually just have coffee when I get up, and have to wait a couple of hours before trying solids (but that's just me). You could try warming up a Protein Shake to drink, I've had that suggested to me also.

You could scramble up some eggs and put them in a small thermos and have something warm to eat on the way. In the beginning I used to eat my eggs on the drive to work because I would use the clock to time in between my bites.My other usual breakfast is a yogurt topped with 1/2 c Kashi Cereal. You could keep that in an ice chest and it should be fine in your car.

I also drink my breakfast. I drink a Protein shake.

Protein Drink to go

Be careful warming up the Protein. I asked if i could put Protein Powder in my coffe and they said no. My dietician said that it breaks down the protein in the powder which defeats the purpose. smoothies on the other hand with protein powder are delicious but usually the premade Premier Protein shake (chocolate and vanilla) are a good start. Good luck finding what works for you! Oh and eating in the car does not work for me... I have a short drive and it simply puts me in a bad position to rush. I like the timing of the bites on the clock but I am just not that focused!! :-)

I eat egg salad or even tuna salad with a Protein Shake. Sometimes I will also have sausage patty on the way to work. I am starving in the mornings and have to have something.

Have you tried Click Protein? It has espresso in it, and you can heat it. Not too hot, naturally, but it is a heatable protein.
