Do you eat breakfast???



Recommended Posts

I seem to be just opposite from most bandsters; I have to eat Breakfast, but am very tight at night - possibly from the stress of work all day and because it's very hot in my house when I get home. I like microwaved eggs on weekends, with some cheese; I just got my first fill three days ago and am trying to figure out how to get lots of Protein in for Breakfast. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes may be a good idea.

Any other ideas for high Protein breakfasts on weekdays?

I have been trying to eat a very runny scrambled egg in the morning but have not been able to tolerate it; wonder if I should try skipping breakfast as so many say they cannot tolerate anything in the morning & just stick to a Protein Shake? ??

Anybody else have problems with eggs?

My stomach has always been that way. If i eat breakfast I am hungry all day long! Since the band I maybe eat something b4 work 2-3 times a week-and then it is a small bowl of cheerios and skim milk! Other wise it will be lunch b4 I eat!

4 me,

I haven't been able to eat eggs since my surgery almost 2 yrs ago no matter if I am extremely tight or completely loose. I miss them sometimes too. That doesn't mean you will always have a problem with them though.

I have a small bowl of soupy oatmeal every morning and then my coffee about a half hour later. Helps with my equillibrium. I generally don't try eating until 9 or 10 in the morning as i'm pretty tight up to that point. A nice cup of warm Water with lemon juice tends to help this first thing, so by the time I actually have my oatmeal it goes down easier.

Right now i'm pretty tight (bless Dr. Maese in Dallas!!!). I have a great fill and am as close to my 'sweet spot' as i've ever been so its good that i've been able to have breakfast in the morning.

I'm glad I read this thread. I am finally on real foods (as opposed to full liquids) and not yet filled. I am having trouble finding high Protein foods for breakfast other than eggs. Unlike most of you, I am hungry in the morning and find that if I eat a fairly large breakfast than I am not so hungry later in the day. Anyone have more suggestions for high protein breakfast foods - I don't like hot cereals. Thanks

I am also on the night shift and there is no set schedule as to when

I eat my meals. I usually wake up about 3pm then have dinner with

the family. Then around 12:30am I have my lunch and have a small

meal when I'm home around 7:30am. I haven't been banded yet. Aug.

3 is the big day. Maybe after the band things will change I'm so messed

up now with broken sleep. Sometimes I eat just to try and stay awake.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
