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.

      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.
