Breakfast Troubles



Recommended Posts

Hey there. I'm currently going through this exciting process. Had my orientation beginning of June. During that the dietitcian said to start changing some habits now.

I wanted to changed my Breakfast but I'm stumped on what to eat or considered healthy.

My normal Breakfast would usually be 2 cinnamon ego waffles, slice of cheese, glass of milk, or sometimes a cup of coffee.

Any suggestions or example of what you all are eating pre-op would be helpful. Thanks!

Pre-op breakfast.... how about a Protein Shake with a yogurt, or an egg with cheese possibly with bacon or sausage, your goal is to eat plenty of Protein throughout the day and get your daily intake of three servings of dairy products. I am post op but now is a good time to learn these healthy helpful guidelines which will help you in your journey after the surgery... Good luck

You could do oatmeal (not from the instant packets), light yogurt or even start working on Protein Shakes and what they are like.

My typical breakfast, post sleeve, is 1 egg and 1 sausage patty, or a Premier Protein bar (30g of protein). Sometimes I'll have a yogurt, but I'm lactose intolerant, so that's a very rare day for me.

I am still preop, but I will have either a Protein Shake or a Greek yogurt for breakfast.

postop - I'm usually drinking a Protein Shake. It's easy, filling, and a good way to start the day with 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

I have an egg each morning, with a Jimmy Dean turkey sausage link, 2 oz. of cottage cheese, and about 2 oz. of red grapefruit sections from the jar with its juice. sometimes instead of the eggs, I will have some no sugar added brown sugar oatmeal just for a change but not very often. i do not eat my whole egg though. Eat the sausage first, then part of the egg, then the cheese, then the grapefruit. Start getting the carbs out of your diet. You will need to concentrate on Protein first post op and you won't be able to eat that much.

Carbmaster Yogurt and a couple slices of turkey bacon. Or my typically breakfast is a Protein Shake, then maybe a yogurt a little later in the morning. A scrambled egg is a good option too!

Every morning I have an egg (but don't eat the whole thing) a Jimmy Dean turkey sauage link (JD is the best tasting), 2 oz. cottage cheese, and about 2 oz. of red grapefruit sections from the jar. Sometimes I have a no sugar added quaker instant oatmeal instead of the egg. depending on what we had for dinner the night before, I may eat some of the meat from that instead of the sausage.

Ahh... Breakfast. I am not sure if you are low-carbing or not. Many pre-op (and post op) patients either have to or choose to do so. My best recommendation, drop your preconceived notions about what a breakfast food is. Why not have chicken at breakfast time, or deli meats, or turkey meatballs.

You can also do greek yogurt (plain, flavor it yourself with sugar free syrups, crystal light packets, espresso powder, splenda, etc), omelets, bacon (go turkey if you are worried about fat), Protein shakes, etc.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
