Skip protein shakes?

Hi guys I am 6 months post op now and I am drinking my Protein Shakes for Breakfast. I've started noticing it doesn't keep me full too long and I do better if I have solid food in the am. Anyone else eating solid food for bfast. And if so what? I'm lost at ideas for breakfast. Thanx

I haven't had a Protein Shake at all since I began soft foods. eggs cooked in various ways are my favorite food at any time of day.

I always eat something solid for breakfast or i am hungry an hour later.

I've been really bad with Protein. I haven't drank a Protein Shake in months! lol. I do eat eggs, turkey, chicken etc... But I highly doubt I'm getting in the recommended 60g per day. So far everything has been ok. But I want to do better so I recently purchased some unflavored powder... It still leaves that protein smell in my drinks but I just drink it with a straw so I don't have to smell it. Ugh! I normally eat yogurt or boiled egg for breakfast.! Now I can eat two boiled eggs. I'm super happy about that. (Even though I'm full after that). But my sleeve is progressing...! Good Luck~

I eat an egg every morning cooked a variety of ways.

My surgeon told me to stop drinking my Protein Shakes everyday now that I'm eating food. She said it won't fill you up like food. However she said if I am having a day that I am having trouble getting all my Protein in then I should have one.

Egg beaters are quick and easy to make for Breakfast. I add some chopped up chicken to mine, plus some chopped bell peppers and maybe mushrooms for a little omelette. They will also cook in a bowl in the microwave.

I also want to add, if you add chia seeds to your Protein shakes and let them sit and gel for 30 minutes or so they get a lot thicker and are much more filling. The shake will keep you satisfied much longer. Not to mention it helps tremendously with regularity issues.

I gave up liquid Protein as soon as I could! I never liked the shakes or shots! At my 3 month post op checkup, my surgeon told me that I should be EATING my 60g daily. Since then I have been eating a 20g Protein Bar (Cliff's Builders vanilla Almond) for breakfast every day along with my morning cup of Decaf. I easily get in the rest of my Protein during the day. I focus on a balanced diet and all Is well. My bm's are regular and I have no complaints loving my sleeve! I've lost 80lbs in 10 months and I'm keeping it moving to losing 150lbs! Yay!
