I got tired of Protein Drinks after, altogether, 6 weeks of liquids only & having them 3-4 times a day. This week I'm 2 months post op & ever since I was allowed to eat regular food, I've had eggs for Breakfast everyday & a lot of variations (vegetable & Protein scrambled, hard boiled, over easy, etc...)

I'm sick of eggs now. To the point where I just don't finish my breakfast anymore. What do you have for breakfast besides protein drinks & eggs?

P.S. before surgery I never ate breakfast, I'm not a breakfast person. I just made my coffee & go. Now that I'm post op, it's crucial for me to have breakfast & I lost my taste for coffee

I haven't had surgery yet, but I have had to follow a high protien diet for the last 3 months to be approved. I like Fage Greek yogurt, the passion fruit is my fav or strawberry. Also Premier Protein shake- Carmel flavor with some cold brew coffee, taste like a latte! I have also made these little breakfast muffin things, by putting a slice or two of deli ham in a muffin cup and pouring raw scrambled egg on top and a touch of cheddar. Bake for like 10 mins and store in fridge, then I reheat them in the morning for breakfast and I think they are like a carb free breakfast sandwich. Sorry I know it still has egg, but at least it's got other yummy stuff too!

Thanks for your reply. I didn't see any caramel premiers where I live. I bought decafe coffee & wouldn't mind trying caramel Premier with it. It actually sounds good. The ham idea is good too. Maybe I'll have a slice of ham for breakfast without the egg.

I'm not a breakfast person either. I had given up breakfast years ago. I went to my dietitian recently and told her I don't eat breakfast also I was having problems with nausea (5 weeks post op now) She told me I really need to eat breakfast even if it is just like 1/2 a banana and a piece of cheese. Especially since I go to the gym in the morning. So I've started eating 1/2 a banana in the morning. My nausea has almost disappeared, not sure if it's because I'm eating solids now or the fact I'm eating something in the morning. I'm hoping to add a little Protein to it too, but the first day I had the banana and string cheese I felt so full. So I'll work my way up to it. Maybe I'll try eating eggs on my off days

I just ignore the fact that it's "breakfast". Sometimes I have sandwich meat with cheese. Sometimes shrimp. Sometimes tuna! Just eat what you feel like eating, that's allowed, even if it's in the morning. And check Pinterest for new recipes!

Thank you for your suggestion. I never thought about bananas. I'll try that & it's easy for my "on the go" lifestyle.

I made beef broth from scratch it is very good, and I find it satisfies me for quite a few hours in the morning when I am in a hurry ,I take it on my way to work.

Get some beef bones from your local butcher if you can,

throw them in a pot bring to boil skim off the dark stuff and simmer for 24 hours,

Add two stocks of celery a large onion, two large Bay leaves, about a tablespoon of pepper corns, salt-and-pepper to taste, and I added organic beef bouillon the stuff that's in a jar I find it taste better than the powder,

Simmer for another hour or two and put only liquid into jars,

After the jars are sealed and cooled

Refrigerate, next morning heat and enjoy

Ps :I used a very big pot

And had three large bones

      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? 🤷‍♀️
