Hey all! I have a quick question. I'm getting all cottage cheesed out for protein in morning. I have a small allergy to eggs (a mild reaction) and try to avoid them. Other then shakes or smoothies, I'm out of ideas for breakfast. I'm almost 5 months out from banding, and can eat just about any foods. Any help would be awsome!!

Thanx!

Have you tried the Kashi GoLean cereals? The one I eat every morning has 13 grams of protein and it helps me get some fiber in for the day. Plus you get more protein with the added milk. I also add fresh blueberries or strawberries to it.

Plain greek yogurt with fresh or frozen berries...20 gms of protein!

Cream of Wheat

oatmeal

riccotta cheese with splenda and fresh lemon zest (don't knock it till you try it)

Fresh fruit with a strawberry yogurt dip.

Thanx for the ideas!

Have you tried egg substitute? Lately I've been making a bacon, egg, and cheese whole wheat english muffin. A english muffin is the only type of bread that I can eat. I toast it twice though. So it's hard and I have to chew a long time, but I do really enjoy it though.

I bought the Special K granola and spent a few minutes measuring out servings into baggies. Now I have a quick breakfast by mixing it with yogurt but keeps me full longer than cereal and milk. I think I can get by on half of what they suggest as a serving of granola, a serving of yogurt and a serving of fruit.

My dietician said we need to avoid duel consistancy foods like cereal and milk, its the same as drinking with your meal.

I hear ya Pollywogg. My surgeon just recently said no liquid calories. My smoothies are off the menu for awhile. I've been doing 4-8oz servings of traditional breakfast foods. It's soooo boring!!:thumbup: But I guess as long as I eat and not pick the wrong stuff I'll be ok. I'm not losing (haven't for awhile) but not gaining either:thumbup:. Thanx to everyone for the suggestions!

I rarely eat traditional American breakfast foods, for breakfast, anymore. One of my favorite things to eat in the morning is different stir-frys or sautees with things like black beans, veggies and brown rice. It really helps me stay satisfied
