Those are good suggestions. I can eat bread and all cereals so often do toast or Cereal, I'm just too afraid of the cholesterol to eat multiple eggs daily, a couple a week is all I eat, if that. I dont like em much anyway.

Yogurt is nice for breakie, I often have a carton as I dont feel very hungry in the mornings and its not too filling. Or I might slice up an apple and eat that while I'm making the kids lunches, so fruit in any form is good too.

Of course my very regular breakfast of 2 or 3 cups of coffee is probably not to be recommended.

I do yogurt or oatmeal. I am pretty tight in the morning and "real food" is usually not an option. I have managed a turkey sausage link here and there but that's not too often. We just returned from Disney and I took Protein Shake mix with me and ordered a skim milk and had a shake. I have also discovered that egg salad works well but is high fat and cholestrol, so I try to avoid it. I have also eaten grits, and the occasional turkey or chicken salad with wheat crackers. Also most places have a "diet plate" usually half a cantalope filled with cottage cheese. Last time I was in Mexico I lived on fruit smoothies and that was preband. ~Mandy

eggs are bad on alot of people. I think you'll find alot of good breakfast options in Mexico. And if all else fails, they always have refried Beans available (they serve them with the eggs anyway, lol).

Have a great time!

Take some can slimfast and put them in your fridge or cheesesticks. If you are tight in the morning have some juice, maybe a sausage. Keep some nuts in your purse for a little later.

Great idea Sarah, refried Beans w/cheese and sour cream...a mushy staple.

If I were you I would try a pancake at home before going out of town to do it. Take small bites and wait to see if it just sits there. :phanvan

I thought you were tight in the morning that is why you were looking for foods for breakfast. LOL:D

Here's a great breakfast:

Take cottage cheese and mix with cinnamon and splenda to taste, then put it on top of toast and eat. YUMMMMM!

My standard breakfast is yogurt these days....but occassionaly skip that in favor of a skim sugar free latte. LOL Some days I have morning star veggie bacon...not sure how long it keeps though once cooked. I sometimes cook it and pack for lunch. It's crisp when cooked in the micowave and generally crisp is no problem. Protien shakes is another good idea. You could always pour them over ice if you don't have a way to keep them cold. I'm going on a cruise in June and already I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat. I'm not sure if its smart planning or just my obbsessiveness! LOL

My morning ritual is Atkins shake when I first get up, then 30 minutes later I have Weight Control Oatmeal. (I love me some oatmeal!)

You should not be able to eat breakfast in the morning. If your band is as tight as it should be, you shouldn't be able to eat until about noon. In the morning I have a Protein Shake and that's about all I can get down. If you are currently able to eat breakfast I would suggest seeing your surgeon about a fill.

      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.
