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?

Protein shake or eggs. The occasional piece of bacon or two.

1 egg with a slice of cheese, omelet style or occasionally half a P28 bagel with cream cheese

I eat breakfast every day. I start out with a packet of instant oatmeal mixed with Water. When it's heated I drizzle a little honey over the top and mix in about 1/3 cup granola. I then stir it all together and eat about 1/3-1/2. It's a carby way to start the morning and the only Protein really comes from what is included in the granola and oatmeal, but it keeps me full for a few hours and it's pretty much the same breakfast I've had everyday since I hit goal 8 months ago. I appease my stomach by not feeding her more traditional protein breakfasts (egg, chicken, yogurt) because this tends to result in puking almost instantly and I make up for it later in the day when my temperamental stomach is a little more awake and tolerant.

I never was into eating till like 1:00 pm. After I had my rny, I have a Protein shake in the morning hopefully by 10:00 am...I never feel hungry so I'm glad I can look at the clock as to when to eat.

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.

Each morning, I start my day with a Protein shake, and when I want to mix it up, I have a bar. There is nothing like knowing you already have 30g protein in the bag. Gives me time to focus on the other 35-40g.

Also, I do much better with liquid, since my belly only holds so much. In all honesty, the shake is more like a pre-breakfast, since I have it between 6 and 630 (start it). By 10, I usually have some form of egg white and something to add to it.

I always eat breakfast. Generally 4-5 oz triple zero vanilla Greek yogurt with about 1 oz berries on top or a RTD premier protein shake. My surgeon always advocates getting your protein in food forms rather than relying on shakes, but I still do 1 per day since they're convenient and delicious!

absolute must for me, is a dose of the Holy Shredded Wheat w/Bran.

Add a handful of frozen blueberries, maybe a bit of Peanut Butter, a little stevia & a 1/2 cup of skim milk or hot Water.

Something different most every day. Yesterday was a handful of cashews, today was kimchee, 1/8 cup of rice and a fried egg.

I have some kind of Protein within one hour of when I get up. 1 egg scrambled or hard boiled egg keeps me full for 3-4 hours (but I've really tired of eggs.) So I mix it up with yogurt or my old standby Syntax fuzzy navel.

Amazing weight loss.....good for you!

This is usually my time to grab a shake - most days I'm a stick in the mud, I throw a fist full of frozen berries into some chocolate Matrix and call it done. If I'm really hungry I might have an egg or something.

Then, there are days when I completely fall off the wagon and stuff a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwich in my gaping maw. It's a process, lol.

During the week I get up early 4:30 and have coffee, creamer, Protein mixed in. Then I work out. Between 6:30-7 am I have a shakeology with a handful of strawberries or blueberries. Start work then around 9 I have the weight control Quaker oatmeal maple and brown sugar. I usually add in a little unflavored protein.

Weekends-Since I am on maintenance I have whatever I want but I always have Breakfast

I like to read the previous posts to get ideas.

Thanks-

I typically have one of the following:

1. low calorie/sugar greek yogurt

2. low carb toast topped with low fat cottage cheese and sugar free fruit preserves

3. ProtiDiet Cereal and almond milk

4. high Protein waffle or pancake with sugar free syrup and fruit

5. eggs occasionally with salsa and Beans, but the eggs sit heavy for me, so I don't have them often

This i virtually identical to my routine, except I have both -- 2 hours apart.

I seem to be waking up earlier since I began this journey (probably because my body wants food) and I make a mini egg white omelet with a chopped up turkey sausage link and a little cheese (around 100 calories) around 6:30-7:00 AM.

Then around 9:00, I have a half a 1/4 lb. Morning Star Chipotle veggie burger with a little fat free sour cream (also around 100 calories).

These two keep my full through lunch and help me keep all my pills down!

I have breakfast everyday; an egg with with turkey bacon or sausage, or 1/2 a veggie burger, sometimes I add in a cheese or an egg with cottage cheese is one of my favorites. I have tried a protien pancake but it is just too dense for me right now I can't eat it yet.
