Breakfast Ideas

[Flowerpurr 0]

I need help with Breakfast ideas. I have been banded 5 weeks now. I haven't had my first fill yet so I am empty. But I am sick of Protein Shakes and eggs. Any other suggestions?

I ve been banded about the same amount time as you. I've been eating these items for breakfast: Yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, SF pudding, tea, coffee, special K ceral.

flowerpurr, how much weight have you lost since your surgery date of 7/15?

I usually drink my Breakfast. What about yogurt or oatmeal? You should check out the "Share ideas" thread....lots of ideas there.

I know these are eggs but their good quick & easy Jimmy Dean omlets, cheese & ham are my fav. or maybe carnation sf instant breakfast, I make them the night before so they are really cold.

I was banded on 7/11/08 and have not had a fill yet either. I am also tired of eggs. I have started eating greek style yogurt as it has more Protein than regular yogurt. I doctor it up with fruit and/or flavored Torani sugar free syrups. It seems to keep me full for a few hours.

Cream of wheat made with vanilla slim fast and Water, cinnamon, vanilla and a dash of salt. It's WONDERFUL and loaded with Iron. Once made I add half a scoop of unflavored Protein powder. Even my DH likes it!!!

Quaker makes a high Protein instant oatmeal that is pretty darn good. They have two flavors, maple and brown sugar and banana bread. Kashi has two or three high protein cold cereals. I don't care for them much, but they are good in a pinch.

I eat a lot of cottage cheese and yogurt for breakfast. Of course low fat......

On the weekends I eat omlettes or eggs. I don't have a problem with eggs as I beat them with milk and soft cook them. It's more like a custard than a sticky egg and it goes down easy.

ricotta cheese inside a small baked apple with cinnamon isnt half bad either.

think outside the box. I have grilled fish, chicken, chops or steak anything you like can be a breakfast food. We tend to think of only cereals, yogurt & eggs. Break free and enjoy.

Dang, Aubrie, you're making me look forward to breakfast tomorrow morning! :crying:

I usually have yogurt with a scoop of EAS - tastes like chocolate pudding. Altho, I just bought one of those little pouches of cooked, crumbled bacon - found in the salad dressings aisle - and tried my 1/4 cup of scrambled egg beaters with a tablespoon of the bacon. Wow! It's power packed and a little goes a long way.

As Homer Simpson says, "Mmmm, bacon!"

I do A LOT of greek yogurt too!!! I mix in some blueberries or raspberries and some splenda...it really is yummy!!

Funnything...I go by Amybee all the time...and I went to ASU...just thought it was sort of a coincidence!

Hi! I think outside of the box too since my tummy really doesn't like breakfast. eggs usually made me sick and after awhile especially on hot days oatmeal isn't too fun. So, I started eating Protein in the form of chicken. Since I have low Iron levels to begin with, I make chicken ahead of time and slice it into small pieces and then pack a little baggie with a few slices for breakfast. Having the protein really jump starts my day and gets me going.

Greek yogurt has a lot of Protein in it. I find myself eating it more and more. I don't care for it plain, so I add a tbsp of honey to mine. You could also mix Cereal with yogurt instead of milk. I do this because if I use milk it goes straight down and doesn't keep me satisfied very long.

Aubrie~ Love all your breakfast ideas!

I used to love fried chicken for breakfast. Now I coat (de-skinned) chicken breasts in olive oil, roll them in seasoned bread crumbs, and place on a cookie sheet, cover with foil and bake in the oven on 350 until the chicken is done. It tastes a lot like fried chicken, only better for you. It's a Protein packed breakfast that will keep you full for hours. You can also coat the chicken in tobasco sauce to spice it up a little.
