So what are some of your favorite breakfast go-to's? I love cooking but I've never been a big breakfast person. One of my favorite and simple breakfasts is salmon lox. I know it's not going to appeal to everyone but it does ok on covering a lot of the nutrients I'm looking for. I very rarely eat any bread products but these English muffins are ok for me. I've added the totals for my breakfast. My tracker doesn't subtract for dietary fiber so my carbs would be 9. I'm aware that it's not a lot of calories but it's all my stomach can handle in the am. No, I don't eat and drink. I still wait 30 mins before and after. I've tried to drink with food once and it was not pretty! So what do you eat for breakfast?! I use to be a shake girl but I'm trying to get away from so many shakes! I MUST have my coffee, if it comes between coffee or food sadly I will chose coffee. My son knows his momma! Ha! don't judge!

@@her1981 That's sounds wonderful!

Every time I read one of your posts, my TJ's shopping list gets longer.

I had smoked salmon with a touch of cream cheese this morning! No need for a bagel or any bread, I just use a fork. My other "go to" breakfast is ground turkey with spinach and cheese (either feta, goat or shredded mozzarella)!

I am a non-traditional breakfast person. In the past it would be anything from leftover pizza to a bowl of chili... if i didn't skip it completely (85% of the time).

I am making a point to have "something" for breakfast every single day. My go-to is still coffee then a Syntrax Cappuccino to-go. Several days a week I will skip that when I have dinner leftovers. For instance, today I took a container of 6oz of Beef Fajitas for lunch/breakfast (and Yes I still weigh it, lol). I had my coffee : ) at home, and when I got to school at 7:15 I ate half of my portion of Fajitas, and for lunch the other half. I also love Tilipia for breakfast, and when we cook that for supper I make extra so I have some for the next days breakfast and lunch.

My other favorite is chicken salad. I love that on sliced cucumbers, and if I make it for lunch I will take enough to eat some for breakfast when I get to work.

@@stacyg1 I try that but the salt kills me!

@Babbse I tried the vanilla wafer one! It was good. I went to GNC and paid $2+ for it then went to Walmart and it was $1.48....figures!

I picked up these 3 to try also......here's hoping I don't explode with gas!

@@Elode let us know how they taste. I have eaten the Pure protein ones and they taste ok and didn't upset my stomach. That sugar cookie flavored one looks like it would taste good. Yum.... Sugar cookie!!

@@glitter eyes I just ate that one for dinner, I didn't feel like tacos. It's ok. Really soft but not a whole lot of flavor. Lightly sweet which I prefer. I don't like the ones that are overly sweet. All in all I'd eat it again. I'm waiting to try the combat. I hear they are taking over and kicking quest out. Ha!

If you don't like super sweet, you may not like the Combat Crunch. They are very much like a candy bar. They use isomalto-oligosaccharide, which is the ingredient Quest replaced with soluble corn Fiber. So if you didn't have gas issues with the OLD Quest bars, you shouldn't have any issues with these.

@@JamieLogical Oh good. No I didn't have any issues with the old bars. I tried the birthday cake one and it was too sugary for me. We shall see.

This is off topic, but I have to say, you have lost a lot of weight in one year. More than most. So, how did you do it?

I am new to surgery(Sept.2nd ) and new to this site but I would be interested in any tips! Thanks in advance.

3 ounces of chili lime chicken breast for me -- that's my standard Breakfast. It is super easy (I buy it from Trader Joe's already cooked, just chop it up), extremely low calorie, low carb, high Protein, and very filling.

eta: I start my day with coffee, 2-3 cups of black coffee. But that's usually about 5 AM and I don't eat breakfast until about 11, so I think of them as completely separate!

Is that the first time you eat anything after you get up? I was told it's really important to eat within an hour of getting up to get your metabolism going.

@@mmincinci Girl! Hard work! I lost all my weight from what I put in my mouth. I (unfortunately) was not one who exercised like I should have. I'm not going to lie about it! My surgeon asked me about exercise and I told him "nope" he said since I've lost so much without it he wasn't going to give me a hard time. Anyway I'm trying to do a little more now. It's the only part of the plan I didn't do well in. Other than that I track everything I eat. I watch my carbs, sodium, sugar intake. I wasn't great at eating a lot I was sitting at 800 calories for months but now I get 800-1200. I eat high protein but from lean meats like chicken, turkey and fish. I eat red meat but sparingly. I don't drink anything but water (flavored) and coffee. That's it. Just diligent about what I eat. If I want something "bad" I work it into my day. If I would have exercised I probably would have lost even more but I just haven't found anything I like to do. An occasional jog with my daughter is about it. My skin bounced back pretty well. Defiantly not perfect but as good as can be expected. I wasn't looking for any miracles I already had 3 c-sections so it is what it is!! I'm happy with all of it!

I really like the Pure Protein bars too. I get them at Sams. But, I don't generally have a Protein Bar or Protein shake for Breakfast anymore. For breakfast I generally have an Oikos triple 0 greek yogurt (15 gms protein) and about an hour or so after that (I am STILL hungry!!) I have a P3 (meat cubes, cheese cubes and some unsalted nuts-prepackaged) 13 gms Protein. I am soooo hungry in the mornings!
