Breakfast ideas



Recommended Posts

Let me first say that I am not a cook, and even being 7 weeks out from surgery, I am a bit behind in where I should be with regards to meals. I am really at a loss for Breakfast ideas. My stomach wakes me each morning with stomach pangs, but nothing ever sounds good and so far can only take a few bites. What do you find keeps you sustained until the next meal? Thanks so much.

I eat an egg almost every morning. Kashi Go Lean is also good. Ezekial toast (found in the freezer section) with almond butter. Sometimes, I eat a piece of chicken in the morning and that sticks with me. Every Sunday I make a huge batch of chicken thighs and drumsticks in the oven in a casserole dish. I then bag them up for the week.

I haven't tried this yet but on Pinterest I saw where you make up a bunch of "mini" omelets in muffin tins. Supposed to be good reheated....

I scramble 1 egg, egg white and egg beaters with 2 tsp diet butter, onion, green pepper, fat-free cheese, salt, pepper, turkey sausage crumbles. I open 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese and break it into small pieces to lay over the top before I cook the omelet. The cheese helps to make the eggs creamier so they go down easier. This gives me about 4 breakfasts, which I eat with a slice of turkey bacon microwaved. It also freezes well.

Does the toast or Kashi Go Lean ball up in your stomach at all? These are all great suggestions. Thanks.

I've never has this problem. Watch it with bread though. I don't eat regular bread, only Ezekial bread which is sprouted grain and gets very crunchy when you toast it. I can't usually finish the entire piece. I began eating Kashi Go Lean about 6 weeks out and had no problems at all. I measure it though and don't eat it everyday - just once a week or so. Grains are good for you despite the push for very low carbs, your body still needs some carbs - just need to eat the kind with a nutritional punch to them.

At 7 weeks out, my tummy was still PICKY, especially in the morning. My fav breakfast early out was greek yougurt made into a smoothie with a little Water, a splash of OJ, a couple of frozen strawberries, and Splenda to taste. I was closer to 9 months out before I could solid Protein before lunch.

I was lactose intolerant. If you are not, cottage cheese is another high-protein easy-to-digest choice.

If I was in a hurry or tummy was extra grumpy, I just had a Protein shake for breakfast.

I never have time on week day mornings to eat breakfast before work, so I take a couple string cheese with me to work to eat there. On weekends I fix up cream of week.

During my two weeks of pureed foods, I took low fat cottage cheese, added a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. Put it through the blender until smooth, and it tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
