Breakfast ideas

[Satchel 42]

Let me first say that I am not a cook, and even being 7 weeks out from surgery, I am a bit behind in where I should be with regards to meals. I am really at a loss for Breakfast ideas. My stomach wakes me each morning with stomach pangs, but nothing ever sounds good and so far can only take a few bites. What do you find keeps you sustained until the next meal? Thanks so much.

I eat an egg almost every morning. Kashi Go Lean is also good. Ezekial toast (found in the freezer section) with almond butter. Sometimes, I eat a piece of chicken in the morning and that sticks with me. Every Sunday I make a huge batch of chicken thighs and drumsticks in the oven in a casserole dish. I then bag them up for the week.

I haven't tried this yet but on Pinterest I saw where you make up a bunch of "mini" omelets in muffin tins. Supposed to be good reheated....

I scramble 1 egg, egg white and egg beaters with 2 tsp diet butter, onion, green pepper, fat-free cheese, salt, pepper, turkey sausage crumbles. I open 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese and break it into small pieces to lay over the top before I cook the omelet. The cheese helps to make the eggs creamier so they go down easier. This gives me about 4 breakfasts, which I eat with a slice of turkey bacon microwaved. It also freezes well.

Does the toast or Kashi Go Lean ball up in your stomach at all? These are all great suggestions. Thanks.

I've never has this problem. Watch it with bread though. I don't eat regular bread, only Ezekial bread which is sprouted grain and gets very crunchy when you toast it. I can't usually finish the entire piece. I began eating Kashi Go Lean about 6 weeks out and had no problems at all. I measure it though and don't eat it everyday - just once a week or so. Grains are good for you despite the push for very low carbs, your body still needs some carbs - just need to eat the kind with a nutritional punch to them.

At 7 weeks out, my tummy was still PICKY, especially in the morning. My fav breakfast early out was greek yougurt made into a smoothie with a little Water, a splash of OJ, a couple of frozen strawberries, and Splenda to taste. I was closer to 9 months out before I could solid Protein before lunch.

I was lactose intolerant. If you are not, cottage cheese is another high-protein easy-to-digest choice.

If I was in a hurry or tummy was extra grumpy, I just had a Protein shake for breakfast.

I never have time on week day mornings to eat breakfast before work, so I take a couple string cheese with me to work to eat there. On weekends I fix up cream of week.

During my two weeks of pureed foods, I took low fat cottage cheese, added a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. Put it through the blender until smooth, and it tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!
