What was for breakfast this morning?

Protein shake...just easy.

I’m very boring and only 3 weeks out so Protein shake.. I can’t drink just plain but it seems to go down better with some Greek yogurt blended with some banana and orange. Just some type of fruit. I can finish almost half

My Breakfast is usually coffee with some Protein Powder mixed in. While the coffee is brewing, I make a sort of paste with my vanilla Protein powder and a little almond milk. Then when the coffee is ready I pour it in. It keeps me satisfied til my break time.

Aldi brand Greek yogurt. I'm cleared for eggs and toast, but it's just not sitting quite right with me yet. I might try Peanut Butter and toast next week.

Does anyone have an opinion on white vs. wheat toast? White sits with me better than wheat, but wheat is, well, not healthier, but less unhealthy.

I was not allowed Peanut Butter and toast on my plan during the weight loss stage. Your plan does not look like my plan. I'm three years out. Instructions may have changed.

Wheat toast is much better than white toast because it has a lower glycemic index. So why is this better?

When you eat refined sugar or refined carbs like white flower....the sugar hits your bloodstream really fast...and your pancreas reacts to the sugar spike by making a insulin spike. Unfortunately, the pancreas often will produce too much insulin in response to pure sugar....so it runs out of sugar to "neutralize" and then you have too much insulin...which creates a hunger spike and craving for sugar....and you end up in this nasty cycle of hunger/eat/hunger/eat.....that sabotages your diet and makes you feel kinda cruddy.

If you stick with low glycemic carbs that take longer to digest and have slower releasing sugars...you don't run into this as much and feel much less hungry. Go for whole grain carbs:)

My plan allowed Peanut Butter and whole grain toast in the soft solid foods stage...about a month after surgery.

My breakfast today was Half a cup of Chia seed pudding, with half a cup of strawberries and blueberries, and two pieces of turkey bacon.

Yes, my plan also allows Peanut Butter and toast starting at week 5. I think peanut butter may even have been allowed during the pureed stage, but I don't remember.

Until I'm on the general diet, I'm concerned mostly with which is easier on a healing stomach, white or wheat.
