Breakfast foods you love and are healthy



Recommended Posts

Prior to surgery I have always skipped Breakfast. I never was a Breakfast person however since lap sleeve surgery I have eaten or drank breakfast and now my body is doing well with it.

What are some of your breakfast go to foods?

I make crustless quiche muffins. Put whatever veggie and/or meat with some cheese in bottom of muffin tins - add egg mixture (like you were making scrambled eggs) and bake. They can be frozen even. I make them for a week and pop one in the microwave for a few seconds.

I'm too lazy to fix breakfast so I just have 3 oz of grilled chicken breast. I buy packages of grilled chicken breast from Trader Joe's and then just chop up the right amount and take it to work with me in a little container (I usually eat breakfast between 10 and 11).

You can't beat it for calories, carbs, and Protein.< /p>

On my days off I'll take time to cook some eggs, bacon and such. May even have a piece of leftover steak on hand, too.

Work days.....I'll mix some Protein powder and Water in a shaker bottle and call it good.....that or a Quest bar.

I have eggs either scrambled, "fried" in a no stick pan or boiled. Or sometimes an egg salad Sammy And one piece of oatmeal toast. On days off work I may have something else but that's what works on work days. I've never been very functional without a good breakfast.

On the weekends, I've been loving egg in Tomato sauce. I've just used Pasta Sauce in a jar, about 1/3 cup in a skillet, heat it up, crack in an egg, cover the pan til the white is set. Yummy!

breakfast go to foods?

@@FMoore2004

i love scrambled eggs :)

i found, bought a realllly small frying pan for one egg

easy, quick to make

can't have til you are on soft foods

now i have been drinking my GNC 25 gr lean Protein shake (swiss chocolate)

on an occasion i have had a bowl of Special K with Protein (solids) -

i am a VET - so no one will yell too loud at me

check with your NUT - since we're not supposed to eat and drink together,

she might say no to Cereal with milk

if you don't add milk - "probably" ok

quick breakfast to grab once you are eating solids - Protein Bars are yummy

can be addicting - word to wise - eat with caution

easy to eat too many (kind of like a "candy" bar with protein

btw - no donuts allowed at any time :lol:

glad you realize the importance of breakfast!!

keep up the good work

good luck

Thanks Everyone. I can eat regular foods so I'm loving the ideas. I usually eat eggs or egg whites or yogurt so I'm looking to change it up a bit.

My go to breakfast has been jimmy dean turkey sausage. I buy a bag of them out of the freezer isle. I need some new ideas for quick grab on the go meals in the morning.

Loved the idea of the crustless quiche, especially the ability to freeze. I used to make a Breakfast casserole before sleeve. I am going to try that today. Thanks for the tips.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
