What do you eat for breakfast? I need ideas!



Recommended Posts

I'm doing grits and oatmeal. I completely forgot about cream of wheat! Love the egg whites, however, I prefer to make omelets on the weekends and add vegetables such as peppers onions and mushrooms.

I do String cheese sometimes as something I can snack on while I drive to work. Also on vacation, my cousins from Germany introduced me to a new thing - they took Frosted Mini-Wheat bite size maybe 1/2 cup and we put plain or flavored yogurt over the top and just a little dab of milk, and cut up part of a banana, peach or apple in small pieces - kind of a high Fiber and filling breakfast and still let me enjoy some Cereal.< /p>

I am not into cooking at all. Sometimes I eat a Protein Bar. If I am going to the gym, I will mix in fiber one cereal into yogurt. I do like Kashi crunch cereal. It's high in fiber and I need fiber.

Nothing. I drink Water all morning from the time I wake up all day. I usually put a lemon propel packet in the water for flavor, but I don't usually eat until 12 or 1. My doctor suggested this, she also said I shouldn't drink Protein Shakes in the morning. She said "do you think skinny people drink a Protein Shake for breakfast? They don't."

I exercise at 5 am so I need something to help replete my stores post work out but my band is pretty tight in the morning- I drink a glas of skim milk around 730 and then around 9 I'll have a power bar pria (110 calories) and I'm good until 1 or so

Power bar pria? Where do you get that. All the Protein Bars that I have seen have so may calories. I usually get Atkins which are 150 calories.

How about a dash of hot sauce in that cottage cheese for a change?

or (yes I'm going to say it) scramble tofu? If you've not tried this just get some firm tofu, pour off the liquid, crumble the tofu with a fork (or fingers), cook with a little olive oil in a skillet with whatever seasonings you like on eggs (onion, garlic, salt,...) if you want a little color to resemble scrambled eggs just add a pinch or two of tumeric.

I eat a variety a foods for Breakfast. Plain oatmeal with natural applesauce-egg beaters come in flavors now (southwestern, chive & cheese and garden vegetable-really good)-almond or Peanut Butter on wasa crisps-sometimes I eat leftovers from dinner. Price club has a really good turkey breast (fully cooked) and Trader Joe's has really good pre-made breaded chicken cutlets (2 are only 150 calories). I usually will take a slice of turkey or the cutlets with a piece of fruit. On the run I like the zone bars. Sorry this is so long, but I like to mix it up if I get bored with the food choices I will get in trouble and eat too much, so I like variety! Hope it helps. Also a lot of people on this site have some really good food ideas and receipes!!

        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.

      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
