Breakfast foods you love and are healthy



Recommended Posts

Prior to surgery I have always skipped Breakfast. I never was a Breakfast person however since lap sleeve surgery I have eaten or drank breakfast and now my body is doing well with it.

What are some of your breakfast go to foods?

I make crustless quiche muffins. Put whatever veggie and/or meat with some cheese in bottom of muffin tins - add egg mixture (like you were making scrambled eggs) and bake. They can be frozen even. I make them for a week and pop one in the microwave for a few seconds.

Sounds amazing!!!

I'm too lazy to fix breakfast so I just have 3 oz of grilled chicken breast. I buy packages of grilled chicken breast from Trader Joe's and then just chop up the right amount and take it to work with me in a little container (I usually eat breakfast between 10 and 11).

You can't beat it for calories, carbs, and Protein.< /p>

On my days off I'll take time to cook some eggs, bacon and such. May even have a piece of leftover steak on hand, too.

Work days.....I'll mix some Protein powder and Water in a shaker bottle and call it good.....that or a Quest bar.

I have eggs either scrambled, "fried" in a no stick pan or boiled. Or sometimes an egg salad Sammy And one piece of oatmeal toast. On days off work I may have something else but that's what works on work days. I've never been very functional without a good breakfast.

On the weekends, I've been loving egg in Tomato sauce. I've just used Pasta Sauce in a jar, about 1/3 cup in a skillet, heat it up, crack in an egg, cover the pan til the white is set. Yummy!

breakfast go to foods?

@@FMoore2004

i love scrambled eggs :)

i found, bought a realllly small frying pan for one egg

easy, quick to make

can't have til you are on soft foods

now i have been drinking my GNC 25 gr lean Protein shake (swiss chocolate)

on an occasion i have had a bowl of Special K with Protein (solids) -

i am a VET - so no one will yell too loud at me

check with your NUT - since we're not supposed to eat and drink together,

she might say no to Cereal with milk

if you don't add milk - "probably" ok

quick breakfast to grab once you are eating solids - Protein Bars are yummy

can be addicting - word to wise - eat with caution

easy to eat too many (kind of like a "candy" bar with protein

btw - no donuts allowed at any time :lol:

glad you realize the importance of breakfast!!

keep up the good work

good luck

Thanks Everyone. I can eat regular foods so I'm loving the ideas. I usually eat eggs or egg whites or yogurt so I'm looking to change it up a bit.

Loved the idea of the crustless quiche, especially the ability to freeze. I used to make a Breakfast casserole before sleeve. I am going to try that today. Thanks for the tips.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
