Breakfast Ideas, please

[Losing 2 0]

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.
