thisbkaren71 0 Posted September 16, 2013 Hello all, I am three weeks out of surgery and have started soft foods already. I have been doing really well with eating slow and keeping food down. I am having a problem with Breakfast items. I do not like oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, or cottage cheese. Help. Any suggestions? Thanks you! Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Foor 655 Posted September 16, 2013 Well the only suggestion I can think of is that that there are a couple brands of Protein pancake mixes available. I have purchased them some before on Bariatric Choice and they are decent, the ones I tried were the Proti Diet brand. They also have protein cereals I have seen on the same site but haven't personally tried them. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted September 16, 2013 Maybe just have the same types of food you eat later in the day? What did you eat for Breakfast pre-op? I liked vanilla Protein powder mixed with Starbucks instant Decaf. Tasted like a latte to me. Lynda 1 RosaM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted September 16, 2013 I don't have any real suggestion on what to eat (sorry). But I can say that I eat food now (post op) that I thought was completely disgusting before. Preop I tried Greek yogurt, and after 1 bite I threw the container out. And I NEVER EVER thought in a BILLION years that I'd ever eat cottage cheese. I was wrong. My post-op tastes buds love it. So, I'd suggest to go ahead and try things you may not think you like with an open mind. Good luck!!! 2 Richard Foor and Catherine707 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momrox 33 Posted September 16, 2013 Someone on one of the forums posted this idea and I tried it this weekend and it is incredible. Mash up a banana, the riper the better in a bowl. Add a couple of eggs and some fat free milk and whisk it like you were making scrambled eggs. I heated some coconut oil in a pan and put a ladle full of the mixture in and they come out like crepes! So good, sweet enough to eat alone, but I put some cottage cheese and sugar free jam on top and it was absolutely yummy! Sort of like a cheese blintz! 3 jenpez, sanks51 and becslivinlife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanks51 214 Posted September 16, 2013 I don't always eat 'breakfast' things at breakfast. Sometimes I have slice of ham or ox tongue with celery and a spoon of tzatziki. Sometimes I have ground pork/turkey (mince) with mushrooms, peppers and a few slices of zucchini. Sometimes I have a small bowl of prawns cooked in a teaspoon of coconut oil! Sometimes I have mackerel. Like Lynda said, we don't necessarily have to stick to eggs, yoghurt etc for breakfast which is great if your feeling creative in the mornings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted September 16, 2013 My first "meal" at 4:30am or whatever time I get up on days off is Decaf with hot chocolate Protein Powder 80c/15g Protein.< /p> Then I have a couple low fat mozzarella string cheese 100c/12g protein about 3 hrs later.
