hate finding lapband friendly foods.

Just discovered I can only eat 1 piece of small toast in the morning UNLESS it is 2 pieces of toast with cheese in between. The more cheese, the better it goes down. Why? Silly band.

I am always super tight in the morning..... I can handle a scambled egg with some turkey kielbasa (2oz) cut up into it in the morning. I just throw in the microwave in a bowl. 1 minute=Breakfast. Or an egg over easy on a half a piece of toast. The yolk helps and it is good Protein too. I never eat right away-I have to wait. I have some warm tea w/lemon and that helps.

Every now and then I can handle a toasted bagel (half of one) with some laughing cow lite cheese on it. But there is NO WAY i can eat it first thing in the morning. More like 10 or 11am.

Also-- I have found that when I have an egg and a little turkey sausage I stay full much longer than when I have toast or bagel or Cereal. But I am a carb addict and have to watch the carbs I eat.

I like the yogarts, yogart smoothies, oatmeal, apple sauguage with yogart, eggs, bacon, turkey sauguage for fullness or Soup for Breakfast if I am home. All these are smooth I have a tough time with toast, bagel, or foods that are not moist. Try a few different foods and see what works for you.

I usually cannot eat until about 11 am. And then it is very minimal. I start my day with some coffee or tea and one small square of chocolate. On the weekend, we'll do a late breakfast and I'll eat 1/2 an egg and 1/3 piece of sausage. I loosen up throughout the day, but I am really NOT a big eater in general, now. LOL

I ususally stick to low fat yogurt, yogurt smoothies and the snack cups of low fat cottage cheese for breakfast. Usually have a few berries or a slice of melon with it. On the weekends when I have time, I soft scramble an egg with milk so it's not so sticky. I grew up eating sliced avocado with eggs, and that goes down easy as well. If it's really cold out (rarely happens here) I make the Quaker Weight Control oatmeal and add half a scoop of Protein Powder. I've put Protein powder in my pancake batter as well, but not very often. I use applesauce instead of Syrup. My family thinks it's gross, but I like it.

      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.
