I've had a lapband for nearly 4 years and in this time I have never been able to eat Breakfast. I really need to go on a massive health kick and need to be able to get breakfast down early in the morning and something quick without it getting stuck.

Any ideas on some foods that work early in the morning?

smoothie or Protein shake sometimes work for me. It's hard in the morning.

I usually do a smoothy, too. But, I start with coffee. I have eaten breakfast; when I did, it was usually hot cereal. If you can't stomach that, then I would stick to a nice smoothy with protein and fruit added.

PS: Fill in your profile. What is your bandiversary date? I will have been banded 4 years on Oct. 30. Karen

I've been having a Protein shake. It's easy and I can take my time with it.

Since it's Saturday, I made a mini omlette. I put some ground up turkey ham and some cheese over a scramble egg. LOVED it!

Now, about 45 min later I am sipping some sugar free hot chocolate.

...I love Saturdays. *sigh*

Breakfast has never been my favorite meal, unless we go out. Even so, before the band, I would always eat some eggs, a slice of toast and a piece of fruit. I'm one who MUST have dense protein in the morning, or else my blood sugar plays havoc with me for the rest of the day. That being said, since surgery, sometimes all I can stomach in the morning is a protein shake. I cannot blend fruit into it, because it adds too much sugar & I have a rapid drop within and hour or two. The only protein shake I ended up keeping around, is the ready made chocolate Premiere Protein. On days where I'm able to stomach solid food, I'll have one egg with a slice of melted cheese, or 1/2 of a chicken apple sausage with an egg.
