Breakfast, 30/30 and Morning Coffee??



Recommended Posts

Greetings!

This is just a slight dilemma which can easily be solved, but I wanted to see how you handle your mornings.

The NUT told me to eat one hour after you wake. In addition, we all follow the 30/30 rule. Also, we are all told to get 64 ounces of fluids per day which has been a challenge for me. As such, my morning Decaf with almond milk has been a life saver and really has helped me to reach the 64 ounces of fluids each day.

Ideally, I would love to start with a few cups of decaf coffee with almond milk. Unfortunately, I don’t gulp the coffee so it may take 45 minutes to drink the coffee, enjoying every minute of it! After waiting 30 minutes after drinking before eating, leaves me past the one hour limit on eating Breakfast.

How do you handle all the rules for the morning? If have to forego one rule, would it be to ‘eat breakfast one hour after waking’?

Perhaps it was meant as eating a minimum of one hour after waking instead of immediately after waking to promote hydration first. Def check with NUT for clarity.

I ALWAYS wake and hydrate despite hunger even before wls, I can't remember the reasons but my mother instilled this in us.

Something about needing Water more than food (old world stuff)

I wake and drink Water, tea coffee, shake, whatever else then wait a min of 30 mins and move on to breakfast. No rush I sometimes drink multiple things slowly and breakfast is at 11am. I let my body guide me.

If you have your several cups of Decaf with high-protein milk instead of the almond milk, you can "eat" and drink at the same time. Or, if you have a shake for breakfast, most of us don't do 30-30 between various liquids.

      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.
