Breakfast/egg alternatives



Recommended Posts

I am 2 months out and need some Breakfast alternatives. I have been eating yogurt but find that it doesn't stay with me and I'm hungry an hour or two later. For some reason, eggs are not compatible with my sleeve; the first bite is like a cork-no matter how much I chew it first. I need something that is portable so I can take it to work. I have a Protein drink/bar (spilt up in the day) to supplement my protein, so need something different. Suggestions, please!!!

unfortunately,

The video evidently is gone as i think the video section here was removed. and i dont have a copy of the video anymore. But let me explain.

You have to use a Protein Powder that had egg albumin in it.

We recommend , and I use Syntrax Matrix Protein powders. The Cookies and creme is the best. its a great base and you can mix with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, banana if you like, version. But anyway its one scoop of protein powder ( although im in post weight loss, maintenance mode now so i do two scoops. And about 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder, mix that up. then I add coffee mate sugar free italian sweet creme , creamer, but you can use almond milk ot 1% milk if you wish, they all work fine.

Add enough liquid to make like a real thick cake batter, like between a cookie batter and a brownie batter. then microwave this for 45 to 50 seconds depending on how you like it, then remove and be careful it can be ho! but top with a squirt of sugar free Syrup or any fruit you like, if you do that, etc and bingo. its not exactly a cake, it s like a cross between a cake and a bread pudding consistency. but people love it, Myself included and i literally have one every morning for breakfast as I think breakfast is the hardest meal to eat well.

you can experiment with it, but i think you'll really like it. and its easy on the sleeve , for sure. It helps with those old cravings of having donuts or danish or pancakes for breakfast.

Heres alink tot he store here for it, remember the protein powder has to have egg albumin in it to rise, otherwise it will be a brick lol

There's always ricotta pancakes, or for the savory days, Beans & rice (for a complete complement of amino acids) with a bit of cheese and a dab of sour cream/hot sauce/ salsa/ enchilada sauce/ whatever.

I was going to recommend some unflavored GENEPRO, it has 30grams of Protein in 1 Tablespoon. I add it to my ESPRESSO everyday. For myself I have never enjoyed breakfast (well maybe fried potatoes and eggs in my past life LOL) and I drink coffee all the time so for me it is a WIN WIN!! I noticed that you do supplement Protein Bars and drink thru out your day. This protein does keep me full. Just a thought. I sip on it all morning.

@Stevehud Thanks so much for the Mug Cake recipe. I tried it this morning and it was really good. I ate the full recipe (1 scoop of Protein powder) and it made me kind of miserable. Still trying to learn to stop eating when full, although I need to stop before full!!!! Will try again tomorrow with 1/2 scoop.

      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.
