I've got the "BREAKFAST BLUES"!!



Recommended Posts

I miss eating Breakfast in the morning. I want to eat, but nothing goes down. I tried eating oatmeal the other day and that was o.k. But I really can't eat in the mornings. I have been really tight for like 2 days and then all of a sudden I could eat today. But not breakfast. But I really get fustrated because I really get hungry around 9 or 10 o'clock and CAN"T EAT!!:eek:

What about a liquid breakfast? In Australia we have a product called "up and go" which is essentially a bowl of Cereal and milk in a milk drink form. You could look at having a Meal Replacement shake for breakfast and maybe a piece of fruit? Just til you get into the habit of eating at that time then you could look at other options.

A lot of people are too tight in the mornings for solids (me included). I am rarely hungry in the mornings, but when I am I have a SlimFast shake or a Yoplait Whips Yogurt.

The worst is when someone offers to buy you and your family really expensive brunch. (especially on a sunday morning after you had a couple drinks on saturday) My Dad (doesn't know) brought my husband and I out for brunch at a fancy fancy hotel, and paid nearly $20 a plate for us. At the end of the meal everyone was trying not to stare at me FORCING myself to finish the 1 plate I got. I will never eat brunch again!

I miss eating breakfast in the morning. I want to eat, but nothing goes down. I tried eating oatmeal the other day and that was o.k.
Take a look at the Kashi oatmeals - they have a little Protein (could up it with Protein powder and/or milk) and a good portion of Fiber which might be satisfying. Cottage cheese (I looove the chive flavor) has a similar texture to oatmeal but more Protein - if oatmeal goes down okay, maybe cottage cheese will, too. Or Fage yogurt - lots of protein and really different texture (creamy, not liquid-y - more like sour cream) compared to regular yogurt - I flavor mine with a tiny bit of honey or a squirt of sugarfree Da Vinci Syrup. I get Fage at Trader Joe's or at a local natural foods grocery.

Good luck!

Cereal is the devil since my last fill. Anytime of day, when I try to eat Pops, Life, Muslix, or Cheerios (those are the ones I like), It gets stuck in the first bite and I hurt for a while. Muslix is the same kinda make-up as Kashi Go-Lean cereal...So I just threw all my cereals away. If I keep them around, I try them again every once in a while and hate myself for it!

My port flipped completely backwards & was inaccessible.. so they operated and moved it back around and they moved it to another stable location.

      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.
