What do you eat for breakfast?



Recommended Posts

So, my pouchy does NOT like Breakfast. Nothing about it other than a cup of Decaf coffee appeals to me or my belly. I ordered some Click Protein, which should be in today. I am praying this will stick because it doesn't even like normal protein shakes.. I can't stand eggs since surgery, so theyre a no go. I've basically been eating cheese and crackers, which doesn't provide enough protein for a meal. :/ My doctor wants me to get more protein than I have been getting, but I can't seem to find any "artificial" protein sources that will hang out in my tummy without having to gag them down.

Have you tried Quest Protein Bars? I have them sometimes for breakfast. Or oatmeal with some unflavored Protein added. For shakes, I drink the Atkins shakes and I mix them in with my coffee.< /p>

I usually always have a Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt, usually strawberry banana. Every morning.

Or ometimes I have a couple bites of 50% less fat Corn Beef Hash and about a half of a scrambled egg every once in a while.

I did find these waffles in the freezer section of my store, its Vans Natural food Power Grains Protein waffles.

They are really good. A serving is 2 but I obviously have 1 and its only 90 calories, 2.5 g fat, little high on carbs with 13 carbs, 3 sugars and 5 grams Protein, they are really good.

I can't seem to stomach the texture of Quest bars. They taste just fine, but the texture gets me. Lol I'm so weird about food textures.

Try heating the Quest bars for 15 seconds. Much better.

Everyday I have cottage cheese with chopped nectarines and slivered almonds on top. 15 grams of Protein.

I usually have yogurt. Maybe a mini Babybel? I think you could eat anything if its not " breakfast food" if chicken or shrimp for breakfast sounds good to you do that.

I bought some of the Quest Protein bars because everyone was raving about them. I had to track them down. I tried apple pie... Couldn't do it. The texture is like taffy...I don't know its just weird. Overly processed and it kinda grosses me out

I found Protein bars that are like wafer cookies! 200 calories, 15g protein and only 5g sugar. They're called Power Crunch Protein Energy Bars. This morning I had Peanut Butter fudge.

Haha that's what I had for breakfast this morning. I like the chocolate, but hated the vanilla. I threw it out this morning.

nectar makes a Cappuccino Protein Powder that I mix with a cup of Decaf coffee. The whole packet is 100 cals, 23g Protein and 0 sugar. I mix it with an immersion blender and it froths up like a cappuccino is suppose to. Pretty delicious!

Yes I spread a little butter on it too. I end up leaving a good size piece behind.

      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.
