What do you eat for breakfast? I need ideas!



Recommended Posts

I'm doing grits and oatmeal. I completely forgot about cream of wheat! Love the egg whites, however, I prefer to make omelets on the weekends and add vegetables such as peppers onions and mushrooms.

I do String cheese sometimes as something I can snack on while I drive to work. Also on vacation, my cousins from Germany introduced me to a new thing - they took Frosted Mini-Wheat bite size maybe 1/2 cup and we put plain or flavored yogurt over the top and just a little dab of milk, and cut up part of a banana, peach or apple in small pieces - kind of a high Fiber and filling breakfast and still let me enjoy some Cereal.< /p>

I am not into cooking at all. Sometimes I eat a Protein Bar. If I am going to the gym, I will mix in fiber one cereal into yogurt. I do like Kashi crunch cereal. It's high in fiber and I need fiber.

Nothing. I drink Water all morning from the time I wake up all day. I usually put a lemon propel packet in the water for flavor, but I don't usually eat until 12 or 1. My doctor suggested this, she also said I shouldn't drink Protein Shakes in the morning. She said "do you think skinny people drink a Protein Shake for breakfast? They don't."

I exercise at 5 am so I need something to help replete my stores post work out but my band is pretty tight in the morning- I drink a glas of skim milk around 730 and then around 9 I'll have a power bar pria (110 calories) and I'm good until 1 or so

Power bar pria? Where do you get that. All the Protein Bars that I have seen have so may calories. I usually get Atkins which are 150 calories.

How about a dash of hot sauce in that cottage cheese for a change?

or (yes I'm going to say it) scramble tofu? If you've not tried this just get some firm tofu, pour off the liquid, crumble the tofu with a fork (or fingers), cook with a little olive oil in a skillet with whatever seasonings you like on eggs (onion, garlic, salt,...) if you want a little color to resemble scrambled eggs just add a pinch or two of tumeric.

I eat a variety a foods for Breakfast. Plain oatmeal with natural applesauce-egg beaters come in flavors now (southwestern, chive & cheese and garden vegetable-really good)-almond or Peanut Butter on wasa crisps-sometimes I eat leftovers from dinner. Price club has a really good turkey breast (fully cooked) and Trader Joe's has really good pre-made breaded chicken cutlets (2 are only 150 calories). I usually will take a slice of turkey or the cutlets with a piece of fruit. On the run I like the zone bars. Sorry this is so long, but I like to mix it up if I get bored with the food choices I will get in trouble and eat too much, so I like variety! Hope it helps. Also a lot of people on this site have some really good food ideas and receipes!!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
