Breakfast Struggles...



Recommended Posts

Can someone give me some Breakfast suggestions? What works for you? It's the hardest meal for me as I have to eat on the go, or take my Breakfast to work. My band is tightest in the morning and stuff like corn flakes is unbearable to eat.

Thanks!

I too have to eat at work because I get up so early. I make shakes the night before, eat a Protein Bar, grab Greek yogurt and string cheese, poor omelete mix in muffin pan and have like mini-omelete muffins that I eat off the rest of the week, get a rubbermaid bowl with milk--warm it up and add oatmeal and when it cools some, I add vanilla Protein mix. I sometimes eat that high protein Cereal from Target someone suggested on the boards. I also make Breakfast quesadillas with Southwestern style egg beaters, FF cheese, and a low carb or whole grain tortilla because I can save the rest (I usually can eat one and a half) for breakfast the next day or as a snack. I also eat the turkey smoke sausage and toast some whole grain bread or wrap it in a low-carb tortillas Hope this helps

I have a Protein Shake made with frozen fruit. Sometimes I have soft egg whites with a little lite cream cheese mixed in.

Also I have found if I drink tea or my Decaf coffee first then my breakfast goes down easier.

I am at work very early as well. I try to get a protien shake mixed up as soon as I get up and then sip it at work. I take a 20 minute break at 930 and usually eat a small serving of cottage cheese or a greek yogurt.

I have coffee, then my shower and get dressed. At that point, I can eat oatmeal or some other hot cereal. I can't eat anything more until around 10:30.

At this point, coffee is the only thing I can get down in the morning - but, it relaxes my band and I'm ready by lunch time!

Warmed carnation instant Breakfast drink. You can take it on the go and drink it on your way to work and it also has a fair amount of Protein. I also take a greek yogurt into work and eat it mid morning(around 9ish)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
