kimaly 57 Posted August 22, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmyBee 0 Posted August 23, 2008 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 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted August 25, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losing it in ne 0 Posted August 25, 2008 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. :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa B 0 Posted August 26, 2008 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!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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

cagirlv 0 Posted August 27, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted August 27, 2008 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!

DesertRose 0 Posted August 28, 2008 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.
