Looking for a sensible Breakfast idea!



Recommended Posts

I went looking for Cereal I could ear for Breakfast and stay full. Needless to say everything I saw had more than 6grams of sugar and was low in Protein. What are you eating?

I like TVP, Textured Vegetable Protein, for breakfast. You find it in the baking isle of most larger grocery stores. I boil 1/3 cup in 1 cup of Water. When the water has boiled away, I add 1/4 cup of skim milk. At this point you can add anything you want. Fresh fruit, cinnamon, sugar free vanilla Syrup, Truvia, are all things I have added. It has 18 grams of protein, very low in sugars, very filling, and it stays with you. Takes about 15 minutes to make, but worth it for me.

For a faster breakfast I like Greek Yogurt with a Tablespoon of ground flax seed. I like Dannon Lite & Fit. 13 grams of Protein, low in sugar.

My NUT told me no oatmeal or cream of wheat (after the pureed stage). No Protein, and every meal needs to have at least 10 grams. If you can add Protein Powder to it you might make it work and some use Protein Shakes to make it, but I didn't like that. It is why I was so happy to find out about the TVP.

1/4 of a banana sliced with Peanut Butter

A grande nonfat iced latte (10 grams of protein)

A scrambled egg with a bit of cheese and a piece of bacon.

I'm not allowed to have Protein Shakes or supplements so it shows how different everyone's plans are.

You are absolutely correct. My clinic encourages keeping one shake a day for life. They caution against nuts because they are high in fat and calories. So many different plans!

      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.
