Here is an abstract of a study from 2014.

In short, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL (including total number of calories consumed) the study showed that there is no difference in calories burned over 24 hours between Breakfast eaters and skippers.

So if u’r hungry, eat, if you’re not, don’t. Just keep total calories the same, either way.

Thanks, this is a different study; the study I was referring to was more recent and also looked at people going against their normal Breakfast "inclinations", but it's the same overall results.

Two big mugs of coffee with half & half and a 16-20 oz bottle of flavored sugar free Water.

I just saw the underlined "sugar free water" and I was so confused. I thought maybe some people's taps were dispensing sugar water!!!!! 😂

Yeah, when I re-read it it was totally clear, but you know how this site underlines random words, that's what through me off

First thing I have is Water and I do take my multi on an empty stomach...wait 15 mins then have breakfast. Bfast is usually oikos triple zero yogurt. I was a breakfast eater prior to surgery but sometimes unnecessarily restricted myself and called it intermittent fasting. It was miserable for me.

You are about 2-3 weeks ahead of me. Have you lost 36 lbs since surgery?

I did intermittent fasting for a while but I was SO DAMN COLD all the time.

Oh, yeah, well, obviously that too, but I was hangry all the time I was dieting until the last few months when I discovered Protein (I'm wondering how I'll be after I actually have surgery...)

Protein will be your best friend after surgery! After you discover what your little stomach can handle anyway. Mine still revolts with too much chicken and doesn’t love beef so much now. Waah!

Not pills. I normally start the day with a loaded up Protein Shake blended in the bullet. I may not have it until close to lunch time some days, I am never in a hurry to eat/drink first thing like I used to be. How about you?

Black tea with half and half, Chai or green tea latte. Then Water or other sugar free drink. Sometime herbal coffee alternative since I had to give up coffee 2 yrs ago.

When I was in weightloss mode, I pretty much stuck to greek yogurt or Protein Shake for Breakfast every day. In maintenance, I've expanded a little, but am still pretty boring! shake, bar, yogurt or 1/2 breakfast sandwich.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
