Breakfast Ideas, please



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am planning to go for a fill this Tuesday... last one didn't do any good. I couldn't hold what he tried to input, so it wasn't really a fill and by the next week - I was eating whatever I wanted again. Anyway, I'd like to get back on the right path.

So, send me your Breakfast ideas (easy ones - to eat at my desk).

Thanks!

I would suggest this thread - tons of ideas: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f9/share-ideas-what-did-you-eat-today-36828/

I will make a smoothie in the morning, I put oatmeal in a mug at my desk and eat it. Today I am going to make some mini-crustless quiches that I can grab and go in the mornings. Here is the link to the blog where I got the recipe: theworldaccordingtoeggface

I often make a crustless quiche. I get 8 slices out of it, and it makes a great B, L, or D meal.

Crustless Quiche Recipe

I never make it the same way twice, but here are the basics, you adapt to your taste, or whatever you have in the fridge.

1. Saute until soft diced onions or shallots, mushrooms and/or whatever other veggies you like. I'm not a big veggie fan, but I like spinach, so I add 2 cups of defrosted chopped spinach. It doesn't need to be cooked before baking, but it gets out the excess Water. If I have ham. chopped meat, or salami, I also add. As you are saute, add spices. I like spicy, so I usually add red pepper flakes, sometuimes basil or thyme, nutmeg, etc.

Set aside & let cool.

2. In a lg bowl mix 2 cups of ricotta, 2 beaten eggs, then addl cheese. I like Laughing Cow Light, which I cut in smaller pieses & mix in, or Mozarella (I prefer slized to

shredded, as the slices get gooey when melted, which I love).

3. Add in the cooled veggie mix an stir till blended.

4. Spray the pip plate with Pam and lightly dust with whole wheat flour. Then pour in mixture. Sprinkle top with parmesan or other cheese. Bake at 375 for about 45 min, or until toothpick or knife comes out clean when inserted in the center.

5. Let sit for about 15 min before cutting.

Get adventurous with your combinations. I sometimes saute apples, shallots & mushrooms and add it to a ricotta, gruyer (Laughing Cow) & egg combination.

Or a pizza quiche with ricotta, mozarella, egg mix with sauted veggies/meat and topped with Tomato slices, fres basil & parmesan.

Breakfast is the hardest meal for me. I run out of choices!!My Dr. does not allow oatmeal but I have farina in a cup at my desk or a shake, or a piece of cheddar cheese and a few triscuit or wheat thin crackers. Cottage cheese with a table spoon of sugar free preserves is another breakfast favorite of mine. That keeps me full the longest too.

I have three 1/2 cup meals each day and two 2 oz Snacks. So far I have not been very hungry, but today I am really hungry. I feel like I have been grazing all day. I only have fat free or low fat things in the house so at least I didn't binge on really fatty foods. I go for my 2nd fill on 9/14 but I may have to call to move it up a week or so. I am afraid of gaining anything back.

I have an omelet with mozzarella cheese and covered in salsa almost every day. When I'm in a hurry, I cook an egg in my microwave egg mcmufffin maker. It is really quick and handy. They are sold at Walmart by the microwaves for like 3 bucks. :)

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
