Any ideas for breakfast?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.< /p>

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.:rolleyes: 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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
