Nikkinee 94 Posted January 18, 2017 Hi all I've been very slack the past month or so and have been skipping Breakfast. I generally have a coffee in the morning and don't eat until around late morning/lunch time. I'm 15 weeks post op and have been losing quite steadily since my op. I leave the house at 6am to start work at 7am and I have no interest in eating anything at that time. Does everyone here eat Breakfast? If so, what do you eat? And have you found it hinders or helps your weight loss? I know everyone says breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I wonder if this rings true for weight loss patients.

I eat some of that. It's usually lunch and dinner MsShortyDee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellybean12 65 Posted January 19, 2017 Hi - I find that I wake up hungry so I always eat some sort of breakfast. (But I don't have to get up as early as you!) I will eat one of the following - premier Protein shake -oikos yogurt (15 grams of protein) + a tiny bit of high Protein Go Lean crunch Cereal in it + a few strawberries or blueberries - 2 eggs and a bunch of veggies mixed in - leftover piece of chicken - if I want something that I can really chew that feels like breakfast food, I'll have some go lean crunch Cereal + milk I do try and get at least 25 grams of protein in for breakfast. It keeps me full and not wanting to graze by 9 or 10am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UalreadyKnow 843 Posted January 19, 2017 I NEVER eat breakfast and I've lost 150lbs. I've often wondered what would happen if I did?! I do wake up at 5am, who the hell eats that early?!

Vinasu 621 Posted January 19, 2017 I practice 16/8 intermittent fasting, so I don't eat breakfast. I have never cared for breakfast anyway. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sc101071 398 Posted January 19, 2017 Studies show that people the skip breakfast consume more calories in the late day causing more intake than those that to eat breakfast. That said, I would think that someone sleeved would not follow that pattern due to restriction. Only concern I would think is making sure you hit your Protein goals if you aren't eating in the morning.

kimberb 323 Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't had my surgery yet. That said. I notice that when I have breakfast within the 1st hour after waking I feel better and I lose weight. Eating breakfast was one of the things my nutritionist wanted me to incorporate into my diet. I now have a Premier Protien shake most days for breakfast. Been doing this since October.

hmm33502 187 Posted January 20, 2017 Protein shake every morning has always helped with weight loss. I have only been sleeved for 3 weeks, but banded for 6 years. It is completely different now because I never want to eat, but I do my shake without fail! Banded 2010 weight:327 Sleeved 12/28/16 weight:253 CW: 235.

Jamieson 40 Posted January 20, 2017 I have coffee first thing. Half an hour later I have cottage cheese with blueberries or yogurt. I exercise in the morning for an hour so I want to get some Protein in. Eating in the morning also gets your metabolism going. It is like putting a log in the fire.
