I'm three weeks post op and am starting to think about what I will be able to have down the road for breakfast. I'm not a big cream of wheat fan, and was wondering what your go to breakfasts are?

this is at regular food stage:

Greek light n fit yogurt with sliced strawberries

Scrambled eggs sauteed green/ red peppers ,sweet onion and jimmy dean turkey sausage.

Mini muffin pan bites to go:

Well beaten eggs...Add bits of bacon, ham or sausage. Add veggies if you like them...Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a bit of shredded cheese.. Bake at 400. . Make ahead of time to microwave and head out the door.

I always tried to keep my breakfast low carb and high protein, like the rest of my meals. Just because it's breakfast doesn't mean I need to eat a bunch of crappy carb-laden food. Now that I'm free to eat raw veggies I usually make a salad with about 3 ounces of steak and one ounce of raw baby spinach leaves. It is a great breakfast! Back when I was on soft foods I often had something like a poached egg over a piece of turkey sausage or slice of light spam; or Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter stirred in. No grains!

My "go to" breakfast

• 1 large egg scrambled with a slice of cheese and 2 strips of Kirkland pre-cooked bacon. - 210 Cal, 15g fat, 2 carb, 1g sugar, 15g protien

When I have time to eat a "real" breakfast, I do one scrambled egg with Mexican shredded cheese blend and a little taco sauce on top. Sometimes I'll even squeeze in a link or two of frozen Banquet Turkey Breakfast Sausage.

Usually my breakfast is at work though and I just have a Quest Protein bar.

Keep it simple , egg whites and 1 slice of whole wheat toasted.

I couldn't/wouldn't do bread/toast every day. I do have it from time to time now that I'm 11 months out, but I worry about that many carbs every single day.

Is oatmeal ok?

Only if you are adding Protein. I was instructed to NEVER EVER eat carb-only meals or Snacks. I could have some carbs with my protein, but never carbs by themselves. Remember, protein is priority number one for the rest of your life.
