Hi everyone,

Starting out now slowly on real foods. My doctor told me that he wants me to eat mushy foods and some solid foolds to see how I do with them. I'm torn on what to eat for Breakfast. Any ideas?

Steel cut oatmeal.

I always do well with my standard breakfast:

Morning Omelette

3 ozs egg beaters. 50 calories

2 pinches of low fat cheese. 80 calories

2 ozs of crumbled turkey sausage. 80 calories

diced onions and red peppers. 15 calories

225 calories depending on how much cheese and sausage you add.

I've never got stuck on this recipe and it is very satisfying. I sometimes add some salsa if I'm feeling frisky

Breakfast on the road

That sounds like a great omeltte, I do like eggs so I'll have to try it! Thanks!

Yogurt is good in the morning you can add some blueberries or any soft fruit if you have to eat soft food. When you can do regular food you can try adding granola, if you let it sit for a few minutes it softens up too.

That naked smoothie looks different! I might have to try that. Thanks!

I like oatmeal and used to eat it before the band. Haven't tried it yet, but I hope to soon!

I always have to eat animal Protein for breakfast. Actually, at every meal, but if I don't have it first thing in the morning, my blood sugar totally whacks out. That said, eggs are a daily occurrence :-) When I get sick of over easy, scrambled, scrambled with a little bit of 2% milk shredded cheddar......I make egg salad. I use Hellman's Low Fat mayo, and it's GREAT!

When I'm sick of eggs all together, I'll make a small turkey or hamburger patty. Sometimes, I'll have a 2oz patty with an egg on top. SOMEtimes I'll make an egg taco. I did that this morning with a corn tortilla, scrambled egg and a slice of Kraft American cheese (45 cal). Total calories - 195.

Then - when I can't face any of my breakfast options, I'll have a Protein shake :-)

Sounds yummy!

Catfish - how much Protein is in the Naked smoothie?

That one is only 4g per bottle, but some of them go all the way up to about 30 grams of protein per bottle. there are some with about 200 calories, going up to almost 400 calories per bottle so you probably have to use them as a meal replacement. I really like the flavor of some of them. but the ones with higher protein tend to taste like liquid chalk to me. they are not where I get my protein from

Personally I like to keep it simple if I have breakfast at all. A hard boiled egg or a 1 oz. chunk of extra sharp cheddar.

wonder if I could handle a pancake occasionally just for something different with some light syrup.

How do people tolerate coffee? I haven't had any since I've been banded.

I had a spell after one fill when I couldn't stand coffee! I am having one cup in the morning now.

Being a creature of habit my breakfast is one low fat Greek yogurt (80 calories) with a cup of blueberries mixed in. Not much calories, but I do not feel hungry for more in the morning.
