Your favorite banded breakfast.....

I usually eat a couple of slices of very crispy bacon and a scrambled egg for Breakfast, but I've noticed that it doesn't go down very well until after 10 a.m. So if I'm having trouble I drink a Protein Drink and go on. I get hungry about 3 p.m. and have to have a snack and then eat dinner at about 6-7 p.m. Scrambled eggs seem to work in the morning for me and I like to eat bacon with them, but I have to eat a bite of egg and then a bite of bacon and mix them together so it will all go down. For lunch at work, I eat a granola bar and that usually works for awhile though they are very small. Still I have bowel problems and so I've started adding an oatmeal cookie with raisins once a day and that takes care of the constipationl. I suspect I'm not eating right, but I just don't like a bunch of the stuff they tell you to eat. I have a lot of chicken and pork chops, cooked really soft and that usually works. I find that stress messes up my esophagus and I have more PBs than if I'm not stressed.

I'm loosely following the "You On A Diet" guidelines, and he recommends that you eat the same thing every day for breakfast. It works for me, because I don't have to think about it. My current daily breakfast is steel cut oatmeal with raisins, chopped pecans, chopped apple, flax oil, and brown sugar Splenda, topped with a little 1% milk. Yummy!

I usually have trouble in the morning with restriction so I do not eat when I first get up. I keep Atkins shakes in the fridge at work and when I get there at 8 the first thing I do is go to the fridge and put my lunch away and get out my shake.

Does anyone have problems with scrambled eggs? I've tried them for dinner at night and they seem to give me the slimies.

Timing Breakfast is hard for me so I make it easy and Drink lo carb slimfast. I am tighter in the evenings so I have to be careful what I eat. lunch is in front of an audience- so slow and easy at lunch. Try to stick with yogurt, cottage cheese, Soup or soft non-hard Protein that can get stuck!!

i have little restriction. I used to never eat breakfast. i also used to smoke a pack of smokes and drink a pot of coffee between four am and nine am. but that isnt me anymore.

Now. I wake up and make hot tea with honey first (i prefer earl grey but sometimes do english breakfast). Then i take Calcium, bvitcomp, Multivitamin, Iron, vit c. Then i pour the boiling Water into two packets of golean vanilla oatmeal (the stuff rocks and you dont have to add anything to it. it has flax in it too!)

every now and then i wake up VERY hungry, and then its two poached eggs and a little lean ham if i have it, instead.

as a TREAT.. (about once a week) i go with a friend to a local fav cafe and we have eggs benedict!

(my favorite)

If I have the time, I cook a sausage patty, scramble an egg, stack it, and melt a slice of cheese over the top, and split it---more of a 2/3 & 1/3 split, giving my 2 yr old granddaughter the bigger half!

If I don't do that I will have part of a container of yogurt with granola. Or some Cereal, with milk.

I have also been known to eat leftovers for breakfast. My favorite used to be spaghetti---now I must eat a small amount at dinner, and for breakfast, just can't do it!!! I will eat a left over piece of steak, or a burger or something like that though.

I too find myself thinking less about food through the day, if I start it out by eating.

mmm.. eggs Benedict - my favorite - but never have them for breakfast!

If I get up at 5am I have a cup of coffee, about 10am I have a peice of fruit or a protien bar, then lunch between 12 and 1. I also try to drink a couple glasses of Water between 5 and 10.

If I sleep in I don't eat until lunch. After reading all of your posts I'm wondering if I should try to get in a Protein drink.

        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
