Well, since many of us with are tighter in the morning, my main meal is a chocolate Protein Shake blended with frozen strawberries, and then about 3 hours later I have a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal with a little Protein Powder mixed in. I just ordered some PB2 and PB2 with chocolate to try with my oatmeal. eggs also work for me, while the don't for many other people.

I can't eat as soon as I wake up. My band just doesn't want to tollerate food. I usually start my day with 20 oz of Water with Crystal Light Peach Mango Green Tea mixed in it. Then I drink a cup of coffee (black) when I get to work and get settled (around 7).

Then I will eat my breakfast- this ranges. Since I don't have a stove to cook anything on it has to be done with a microwave or toaster. I also don't like eating the same thing every day so here are some of my go to breakfast:

Slim Fast High Protein shake (these are for days I am really tight or am not in the office, but on the road headed to meetings)

English Muffin with Peanut Butter

Bagel with Laughing Cow Cream cheese

Special K Cereal with 1% milk

Special K Breakfast Sandwich (this are acutally good)

Oatmeal with some banana mixed in

All these are good and will hold me around 3-4 hours and since I nomrally eat it around 8-8:30 it works perfectly.

What is PB2? On mornings that I go in to the office, I like to have a hard boiled egg. If I don't feel hungry first thing in the morning, that is an easy food to take along and eat at my desk. Otherwise, Kashi has some good high Protein cereals. Add 2% milk to the go lean and you're at 260 calories and 21 grams of protein! Not a lot different than a Protein Drink made with milk, but I like some crunch in the morning. Going to try it this morning with almond/cocoanut milk, fewer calories, but less protein too.

Oh, forgot one more, cottage cheese! It's quick and good Protein. I'll also eat leftover meat. had a delicious portion of leftover pork chop with BBQ Sauce last week for breakfast! I always try to make breakfast a good protein meal, it holds me until lunchtime better. But also try to keep it under 300 calories.

Breakfast options I tend to enjoy

Inc teacup of fruit and yoghurt, I sprinkle some seeds, LSA or muesli for some fibre

Smoked salmon and few vegetables, or in a half mountain bread wrap with cream or cottage cheese and chives

I also make up mini frittatas in muffin tins, I've had them across all meal times.

Protein bars can be handy on the run, often I'm satisfied with half then eat the remainder as an afternoon snack

Lately I've been having cottage cheese with fruit. I also love egg with grilled bell pepper , onions, and mushroom n a little cheese. Greek yogurt, oatmeal with Water or fat free milk, 1 whole grain waffle with Peanut Butter n jelly, Apple with peanut butter)...I feel u I work 5am to 2 so I always pack a breakfast (7am), lunch (10am) n snack (usually right before I leave work). Packing my meals works out perfect for me.

      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.
