Any ideas for good on the go breakfasts with Protein?

I have always just had a Protein Shake for Breakfast. I tend to be pretty tight in the mornings and I've never been a breakfast person anyway. A Protein shake is easy for me to sip while I'm busy getting kids off for the day and doing stuff around the house.

If I have time I eat turkey sausage links and egg beaters.. sometimes it's greek yogurt with a little granola or a Protein shake.. it all depends on how much time I have ... I don't stay as satisfied with the yogurt as I do with the sausage and eggbeaters though....

There are some great Protein bars that are good on the go. I found one (Quest Bar) that has 21 grams of Protein, 17 grams of Fiber, and only 5 net carbs. But I'm with Sharpie.....the only thing that really holds me, is eggs and turkey sausage, or eggs with an ounce of melted cheese. When I say "eggs", for me, it's really only one egg.

Another suggestion is making a bowl of egg salad. In a pinch, it's quick and easy to scoop some out into a to-go cup, and be on your way.

I saw those for the first time when we were there a couple of weeks ago. I had the bag in my hand, but then thought...what am I going to do with ALL these eggs...they'll go bad. I didn't realize that they last that long. Okay.....on my list :)

I put a scoop of chocolate Protein powder in my coffee....it kills two birds with one stone.

Does the Protein Powder dissolve, or does it clump? I tired putting unflavored Protein powder in Soup, and it was a total mess.....had to throw it out.

If you are using Unjury you need to be careful about the temperature. I think the label says you shouldn't put it in anything over 140 degrees, but I always make sure that if I am using Unjury I cool it down to at least 130 degrees. But right now I am using Body Fortress from Walmart, and that dissolves really easily.

I have a ready-to-drink Protein Shake and Greek yogurt every single morning. It's boring but I stay satisfied for 4-5 hours.

They're great for deviled eggs cuz I hate boiling, peeling eggs.

That's good to know....about Body Fortress. I was using nectar, and it was disgusting.

I usually have coffee in the morning, and then around 10am a Protein Bar. That holds me till lunch time.

I stock up on Atkins Advantage shakes and bars for when I don't have time to make a scrambled egg. Sometimes I make a coffee (hot or iced) and eat a Mini Babybel Light cheese (I buy the huge bag from our local warehouse store). For when I'm home I found that WeightWatchers SmartOnes's has some good breakfasts that fit with the program as well...Good luck =)

        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
