I'm three weeks post op and am starting to think about what I will be able to have down the road for Breakfast. I'm not a big cream of wheat fan, and was wondering what your go to breakfasts are?

Mini muffin pan bites to go:

Well beaten eggs...Add bits of bacon, ham or sausage. Add veggies if you like them...Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a bit of shredded cheese.. Bake at 400. . Make ahead of time to microwave and head out the door.

I always tried to keep my breakfast low carb and high Protein, like the rest of my meals. Just because it's breakfast doesn't mean I need to eat a bunch of crappy carb-laden food. Now that I'm free to eat raw veggies I usually make a salad with about 3 ounces of steak and one ounce of raw baby spinach leaves. It is a great breakfast! Back when I was on soft foods I often had something like a poached egg over a piece of turkey sausage or slice of light spam; or Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with a spoonful of Peanut Butter or almond butter stirred in. No grains!

When I have time to eat a "real" breakfast, I do one scrambled egg with Mexican shredded cheese blend and a little taco sauce on top. Sometimes I'll even squeeze in a link or two of frozen Banquet Turkey Breakfast Sausage.

Usually my breakfast is at work though and I just have a Quest Protein bar.

I couldn't/wouldn't do bread/toast every day. I do have it from time to time now that I'm 11 months out, but I worry about that many carbs every single day.

Is oatmeal ok?

Only if you are adding Protein. I was instructed to NEVER EVER eat carb-only meals or Snacks. I could have some carbs with my Protein, but never carbs by themselves. Remember, protein is priority number one for the rest of your life.

      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.
