Do you eat breakfast???



Recommended Posts

I seem to be just opposite from most bandsters; I have to eat Breakfast, but am very tight at night - possibly from the stress of work all day and because it's very hot in my house when I get home. I like microwaved eggs on weekends, with some cheese; I just got my first fill three days ago and am trying to figure out how to get lots of Protein in for Breakfast. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes may be a good idea.

Any other ideas for high Protein breakfasts on weekdays?

I have been trying to eat a very runny scrambled egg in the morning but have not been able to tolerate it; wonder if I should try skipping breakfast as so many say they cannot tolerate anything in the morning & just stick to a Protein Shake? ??

Anybody else have problems with eggs?

My stomach has always been that way. If i eat breakfast I am hungry all day long! Since the band I maybe eat something b4 work 2-3 times a week-and then it is a small bowl of cheerios and skim milk! Other wise it will be lunch b4 I eat!

4 me,

I haven't been able to eat eggs since my surgery almost 2 yrs ago no matter if I am extremely tight or completely loose. I miss them sometimes too. That doesn't mean you will always have a problem with them though.

I have a small bowl of soupy oatmeal every morning and then my coffee about a half hour later. Helps with my equillibrium. I generally don't try eating until 9 or 10 in the morning as i'm pretty tight up to that point. A nice cup of warm Water with lemon juice tends to help this first thing, so by the time I actually have my oatmeal it goes down easier.

Right now i'm pretty tight (bless Dr. Maese in Dallas!!!). I have a great fill and am as close to my 'sweet spot' as i've ever been so its good that i've been able to have breakfast in the morning.

I'm glad I read this thread. I am finally on real foods (as opposed to full liquids) and not yet filled. I am having trouble finding high Protein foods for breakfast other than eggs. Unlike most of you, I am hungry in the morning and find that if I eat a fairly large breakfast than I am not so hungry later in the day. Anyone have more suggestions for high protein breakfast foods - I don't like hot cereals. Thanks

I am also on the night shift and there is no set schedule as to when

I eat my meals. I usually wake up about 3pm then have dinner with

the family. Then around 12:30am I have my lunch and have a small

meal when I'm home around 7:30am. I haven't been banded yet. Aug.

3 is the big day. Maybe after the band things will change I'm so messed

up now with broken sleep. Sometimes I eat just to try and stay awake.

      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.
