I know sausage and bacon have lots of fat in them, but I occasionally have that for breakfast. I like to have an omelette or some eggs sometimes too. If I'm going to work, I usually just have a protein bar, because I never give myself time to make something. If you like eggs, you might like eggface's bites. It's a woman who has a blog all about cooking after gastric bypass, and she has some bites, which are like mini-quiches. I love them. They freeze well, too, so if you need something on the go. Here's her website, and specifically all her "bites" recipes: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2009/10/party-time-confetti-bites.html

I eat a cup of Activia cherry yogurt with some hot tea. Then I snack on a 30gram protein bar until lunch.

I've had a protein shake for breakfast since the day I was banded which will be 4 years ago this Dec. I am just not hungry in the mornings, and have never been a breakfast eater. This way I am sure I am starting the day out with a good amount of protein. Some days I will have

half of a Costco protein bar instead because they are very big.

I start the day with serious protein; a whey protein shot and two turkey-cream cheese roll ups, followed by a tablespoon of peanut butter for energy. Of course, my options are limited in my environment. If I were home and had a leisurely morning, I would have some kind of wonderful herb & veggie scramble with gooey cheese and some kind of protein. I wish there was a low carb oatmeal but I think that is a contradiction in terms.

I have 2 eggs, Bacon, sausages, hash browns, baked beans, fried tomatoes, mushrooms and 4 slices of toast before waking up.

Cottage cheese, the breakfast of champions!! A half cup (when you are able to eat that much) is 13 grams of protein!! Get 1% - when you get tired of just cottage cheese, add a few slices of light syrup peaches, or fresh berries. It's yummy! I also will scramble and egg and add a half oz of Farmers Cheese (it's made with skim milk) - or 2% cheddar. Or maybe an egg and a slice of turkey bacon. I always start my day with a 8 oz cup of skim milk so I'll get protein right off the bat and I END my day with the same!! I hope this helps! Good luck!

I have never been a big breakfast eater, plus, I am always running late and really don't have time to make a big breakfast. Most of the time I have a protein shake or a protein bar. I finally found one I really like, which is the Shakeology protein shake. They have a chocolate one that is really rich in flavor, kind of like a liquid hershey bar. It doesn't have as bad of an aftertaste either. If I do eat actual food for breakfast, it is usually just peanut butter on toasted whole wheat bread.
