Triing to do salmon for lunches. My prob is also I can do bread with no problems at all. I want to looser 15 more and that's it. Been stuck the same weight for 2 years. Any suggestions to get some weight to come off.

I always tend to jump to the other side of the weight loss equation when I hear of people hitting a stall.....have you vamped up the exercising ?? Sometimes that helps boost the metabolism. Sorry, I'm not a breakfast eater, so I can't help you out there.

If you want to lose 15lbs then you are going to have to give up the carbs. Try Protein and veggies for a while. I myself do not recommend drinking calories because they don't keep you full but drink a Protein Drink for breakfast, have 1 ounce of cheese or greek yogurt for a snack, only veggies and meat for lunch and dinner. It will come off believe me.

i've been making Breakfast cupcakes for a Protein filled breakfast that will keep for at least a week!

here's an example of what they look like: http://carlahanaco.wordpress.com/2013/02/23/breakfast-cupcakes/

I don't use any flour or batter, just simply egg, bacon, veggies and spices. They come out perfectly portioned. i would make a tray and keep them in a freezer bag. When breakfast time comes, just stick it in the microwave for 20seconds, yummers.

      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.
