Need breakfast ideas - what are you eating for bf?



Recommended Posts

I’ve settled on most days a high Protein yogurt (siggi’s Icelandic style) add in some chopped nuts. I may add a sausage link. I also tend to eat at my desk in the morning. That habit I haven’t broken...

Basically I was tired of eggs and now really enjoy them other parts of the day/week.

My breakfasts normally are one of the following:

Cottage cheese 2oz and fruit 2oz. I seperate them. I cant eat together grosses me out.

Cottage cheese 3oz and 1 oz jalepeno. Almost tastes like a stuffed jalepeno.

2 Hard boiled eggs with a few cheese cubes. Cheese cubes give it the salt taste so I don't add any salt.

1 egg omlet (normally with fajita meat, onion, pepper, and cheese)

1 egg scrambled with little shredded cheese and 1-2 pieces of well done bacon.

I avoid oatmeal and Cereal too high in carbs. Love it but its heavy on my stomach and carbs :-(

If I have oatmeal it's very rare.

I will use splenda and craisins.

I eat 4-6 eggs a day to help get my protien intake. If you eat a lot of eggs I recommend the Copperchef Egg Cooker! At Walmart for $20 in the as seen on TV stuff. Makes omelets, hard boiled eggs and pouched eggs perfectly. I love it!!!! So easy!!!

My whole family loves these! I make 12 hoping for leftovers but I’m lucky to have a few leftover! ( I cut down on the cheese with no change in how delicious they are)

I eat 1 scrambled egg with 1 ounce of lox (smoked salmon) mixed in. Then I have four ounces of Tomato juice to wash down my morning pills. A thicker liquid makes taking my pills a lot easier.

If I’m on the road, yogurt and a little fruit.< /p>

I am always in a rush in the morning because my bed is super comfy and I always oversleep. I usually go for a Protein Bar (Quest brand) are my favourite or a Mighty Muffin Bowl. Super easy to take on the run and healthy with lots of Protein.

If I’m having a luxurious morning - bacon and eggs

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
