Keeping breakfast interesting



Recommended Posts

My question is to all the post op guys and gals out there. How are you keeping it inyerestung in your breakfast..... im one of the lucky few who doesnt do well with scrambled eggs so i learned that egg white omlettes are my very best friend but a guy can only eat so many egg white omlettes..... and recipes or ideas out there that youd be willing to share to help out? Keep in mind I work 8 to 5 everyday so cooking for 3 hours before i go to work isnt really an option.

Thanks guys and gals!

Just found a fun site for bariatric recipes, actually. There are some fun breakfasts here:)

https://www.bariatricfoodie.com/recipe-index/

My go-to Breakfast when I don't have time to cook is half a Premiere Protein caramel shake in a big mug of coffee with a wasa toast smeared with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter.

Cottage cheese is breakfast worthy. With a little fruit or salsa, it gets the protein grams in.

I'm a huge fan of no-sugar maple oatmeal packets with a few almonds or pecans, too.

I usually eat an egg white omelette, but keep it interesting by changing what's in it. Sausage and cheese are my go to's, but you can put all kinds of stuff in it. Turkey or ham are good, peppers or other veggies.

Otherwise Chobani Greek yogurt is quick and easy and comes in a lot of flavors.

My wife makes yogurt for me, both regular and greek. I usually throw a teaspoon of honey in there for a nice hint at sweet, or maybe a small spoon of some preserves. I do that and a couple cheese sticks, easy peasy.

I also use premiere Protein Shakes if I am running late and need to consume on my way to work.

I have also added Fairlife chocolate milk to my coffee in the morning to offset the Water deficit and get a little Protein in at the same time.

Monday through Friday I eat a greek yogurt every morning for breakfast and then have a Protein Shake about 1 1/2 hours later.

Weekends I am usually a little looser with my breakfast. I will have Cream of Wheat, turkey bacon and eggs, Protein Cereal, oatmeal

      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.
