Some say Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They say it boosts metabolism and provides extra nutrients. It keeps you from being as hungry during the morning, so you’re better able to make healthy eating choices the rest of the day. It gives you energy to be more active. And, it can give you a good dose of that all-important nutrient – Protein.

Still, breakfast isn’t always the top priority for everyone. We may be too busy to cook, or too rushed in the morning to sit down for this meal. Or, it can just be too boring to make eggs every day, or grab a container of yogurt on the way out the door.

Do you eat breakfast every day? Did you used to, or did you start when you first started thinkg about WLS or even after? What do you usually have for breakfast, and how do you make sure you have time to prepare it every day?

Most days I have cottage cheese. I've tried cereal but I just don't feel good after eating it. Other standards are a protein shake or greek yogurt. I have slways been a breakfast eater. I am certainly not proud of the crap I used to eat for breakfast.

I have 16 Oz of fat free Fairlife Milk with all my morning vitamins every morning

I have never been a breakfast eater. Ever. I'm just not hungry. Since surgery, I have a premier protein shake every day around 830 or 9. That's after I've been up 3 hours and had a couple cups of coffee. It's a great way to get protein in. Without that, I would not be getting close to my protein goals.

You should take your vitamins with a bit if fat (whole milk, peanut butter, coconut oil, regular cottage cheese, piece of bacon or cheese, etc). The fat soluble vitamins ....A, D, E, K.... need fat in order to be absorbed. Otherwise they just pass through. A friend of mine who had bypass 8 years ago recently developed a bleeding disorder due to low vitamin K. I always take my multi with the fattiest meal of the day.

an omelet or scramble of 6 T. liquid egg whites, 1 oz. lo fat cheese, 1/4 c. chopped broccoli, and some salsa. if i don't get my protein in early, i have a hard time reaching my daily goals. ALSO no breakfast= poor choices later in the day.

i find that i am developing an allergy to poor choices. it's a good problem to have!

Great Value Light Greek Nonfat Yogurt - either peach or blueberry. 12g of Protein per serving and tastes great! Fills me up too!

Two eggs, mix in some onions and mushrooms, two pieces of turkey bacon, 1/4 cup of Fage yogurt with some blue berries. I always assume that Breakfast may be the only meal I get in a day, so I make it count.

Oh never heard of that before. My labs have all been perfect though. I do the same thing at night too. I guess I'll talk to my doctor when I go in March about it. Don't want to not be absorbing my vitamins.

M-F I drink about 20 oz of Water on my drive into work. Then after I have been at work about an hour and a half I get 1 scrambled egg with spinach, tomatoes and feta cheese and 1 sausage link. I think I am going to eliminate the link. I had stopped having it for a while but my skin was getting really dry since I wasn't getting enough fat in during the day.

Weekends I will pick at left overs, have a shake, make pork roll and and egg.

I can't eat breakfast too soon after I get up or it just sits like a lead balloon. I also find I do better if I can get in a good portion of my daily water before breakfast.

Honestly, I have some just because it tends to be a golden rule, but the morning is when the sleeve is least cooperative and will tolerate the least amount of food or drink. Greek yogurt is about the max. However, an additional post-op benefit to having breakfast is that it will have your sleeve warmed up to get your proper mid-day nutrition, as opposed to eating a few bites and then just being ravenous in the later PM, when you are supposed to steer clear of calories.

Every day. I have a few choices in rotation. My usual breakfast is 3 oz ground turkey with some spinach and .5oz shredded cheese. On days where I know my exercise is going to be more intense I eat overnight oats made with Greek yogurt, fair life milk and peanut butter. When I'm lazy and don't plan ahead I'll eat my left over dinner from the night before or a carton of light and fit greek yogurt with a tablespoon of PB2!

Before weight loss surgery I would eat anything in the house from pizza, spaghetti, sandwiches, etc. Now that I am 4 weeks Post-Op I usually have a protein shake, but will slowly be moving to cottage cheese and fruit or yogurt.

Work days.....up at 4:30. Premier Protein shake & my Vitamins go down......coffee is making while I grab a shower and get dressed.

Fill up a travel mug of coffee, Splenda and a shot of Fairlife 2% milk.

30 oz bottle of Water in hand all day at work.......refilling it throughout the day. I drink a ton of water.

Work meals are pouches of tuna, grilled chicken breast and other similar eats from the cafeteria.....or I take my own grilled stuff from home.

Days off.......wake up and mix a shake and do the coffee thing. Last few days I've had fun grilling and chilling.....while wrapping up the Christmas gifts that UPS guy keeps dropping off. Fun times.

One scrambled egg with cheese.

One homemade smoothie

Greek Yogurt (about half to three-quarters of it is all I can eat)

I have eaten Breakfast all my life.

Now, I am retired. When I get up, I have 2 cups of coffee, then either some cottage cheese with 1 multi grain toast or 1 scrambled egg and 1 multigrain toast or English muffin (whole wheat)

I put some Triple fruit jam on it, 5g of carbs per tb

Good!
