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.

My go to breakfast has been jimmy dean turkey sausage. I buy a bag of them out of the freezer isle. I need some new ideas for quick grab on the go meals in the morning.

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
