I've been eating leftovers for Breakfast the last few days. I did find a Protein Bar that I like too. So I try to alternate now so I don't get tired of it. I've never been a big breakfast food person anyway so it's not too far a jump for me to eat non breakfast foods anyway. I was the girl who'd eat a sandwich for breakfast while everyone else was eating eggs and bacon. Lol

I'm three years out so I have a whole grain English muffin, either Peanut Butter, goat cheese or an egg and coffee and either a banana or fruit.< br>

When I get tired of eggs for breakfast I eat a slice of ham. I'm an "on the go" person so I rarely have time to eat breakfast so I add Protein to my coffee.

I'm 10 months post-op and can eat pretty much anything now. Scrambled eggs make my stomach feel like I've got a rock in it, same with bread. That one makes me sad, because I love a warm butter croissant! For breakfast most days, I make a Protein Shake with 2.75 oz vanilla Premier Protein shake, 1/4c 1% milk, 1/4c nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 1Tbsp agave Syrup, and 1/2c frozen mixed berries (black, blue, & raspberry mix). I measure out the premier Protein by weight into baggies & freeze them because the stuff doesn't keep once the bottle is opened. I never seem to get tired of my shake, but I do switch up the frozen fruit now and again. I don't care for the texture of overnight oats, so I'll make a serving of old-fashioned oats and split it into two servings and add whatever I want. If you're doing instant, go with a plain one so that you can avoid all of the added sugars. My breakfast shake gets me about 15g of protein, and it's just enough to fill me up. I can't drink the premier Proteins straight because they're God-awful, so I concocted something that works for me and tastes great. Good luck!

Whole grains are fine. I make my own muesli with many whole grains rolled Cereal, bran, flax, millet, seeds and nuts. I cook 1/3 cup of that and 2/3c Water in the microwave 3.5 mins. Then I stir in 1/2c cottage cheese and some fresh berries or sliced fruit. Delicious and filling and hits a wide range of nutritional needs.

I'm burnt out on yogurt as well. Some days it just completely turns my stomach. I've been eating cottage cheese a lot. Muuna makes a cottage cheese that's mixed with fruit already that I like a lot. I also eat Special K Protein cereal with fairlife milk sometimes or will have an Atkins Meal Replacement bar. They are low carb, taste well and have high protein.

I can't tolerate eggs very well but I'm able to eat Egg whites and hard boiled eggs so occasionally I will bring a hard boiled egg or get an egg white omelet if I'm out or it's a weekend. Sometimes I will treat myself to half an English muffin with Peanut Butter or a little butter on it.

I'm having a really hard time coming up with something I can eat for Breakfast. I'm 7 months out and have been struggling for a couple of months now. I ate the triple zero yogurt with fruit for so long that I can't stand the smell of the yogurt by itself anymore. I couldn't eat eggs at breakfast before surgery so I'm terrified to try them now. Unfortunately there isn't much out there that has enough Protein that isn't yogurt or eggs!
Occasionally I make a chicken salad and I can eat that, but it gets old after a day or two. I have given up on ever liking tuna again, once in a while I can stomach it but not often. I had been visiting the subway in the lobby of the place I work and just getting the meat that would come on a 6inch sub but even that turns my stomach some days. I'm just at a loss. Today I tried an overnight oats recipe that was higher in Protein, but I'm not sure if that was a good idea. I wasn't able to eat lunch because I got extremely nauseous and had some stomach pains a couple of hours after eating it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate any help!

I like turkey sausage for breakfast. You can get ground, link, or patty. I usually add some squash and zuchini.

I am tired of eggs myself, but while on the go, I do enjoy the Starbucks Sous vide egg bites. The bacon and gruyere is my favorite. One is plenty. I ask for them not heated up and save one for the next day.

      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!!
