I need ideas for Breakfast and Snacks to keep

I'm not very creative with Breakfast because I love eggs and it keeps me satisfied for at least 4 hours. I've also had plain nonfat greek yogurt (I like Fage 0% or Cobani) with flavored mio and a tbsp of granola for crunch. The yogurt has about the same amount of Protein as the eggs, but I get hungry sooner. Maybe because it slips through the band easier.

I am enjoying homemade smoothies in the morning. I have made 2 diff versions now:

Fruity:

Scoop strawberry Protein powder

1 cup frozen berries

Cup of Water

Cup of ice

Splash of lemonade

Vanilla:

Scoop vanilla Protein Powder

Cup skim milk

Hall cup ice

One of those small containers of Greek yogurt (the indiv serving size)

Dash of vanilla extract

Both keep me full for a while and I've never enjoyed eating breakfast an these have helped me start the day off - esp in this hot summer!

      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.
