I know these are eggs but their good quick & easy Jimmy Dean omlets, cheese & ham are my fav. or maybe carnation sf instant breakfast, I make them the night before so they are really cold.

I need help with breakfast ideas. I have been banded 5 weeks now. I haven't had my first fill yet so I am empty. But I am sick of Protein Shakes and eggs. Any other suggestions?

I was banded on 7/11/08 and have not had a fill yet either. I am also tired of eggs. I have started eating greek style yogurt as it has more Protein than regular yogurt. I doctor it up with fruit and/or flavored Torani sugar free syrups. It seems to keep me full for a few hours.

Cream of wheat made with vanilla slim fast and Water, cinnamon, vanilla and a dash of salt. It's WONDERFUL and loaded with Iron. Once made I add half a scoop of unflavored Protein powder. Even my DH likes it!!!

Quaker makes a high Protein instant oatmeal that is pretty darn good. They have two flavors, maple and brown sugar and banana bread. Kashi has two or three high protein cold cereals. I don't care for them much, but they are good in a pinch.

I eat a lot of cottage cheese and yogurt for breakfast. Of course low fat......

On the weekends I eat omlettes or eggs. I don't have a problem with eggs as I beat them with milk and soft cook them. It's more like a custard than a sticky egg and it goes down easy.

ricotta cheese inside a small baked apple with cinnamon isnt half bad either.

Dang, Aubrie, you're making me look forward to breakfast tomorrow morning! :crying:

I usually have yogurt with a scoop of EAS - tastes like chocolate pudding. Altho, I just bought one of those little pouches of cooked, crumbled bacon - found in the salad dressings aisle - and tried my 1/4 cup of scrambled egg beaters with a tablespoon of the bacon. Wow! It's power packed and a little goes a long way.

As Homer Simpson says, "Mmmm, bacon!"

think outside the box. I have grilled fish, chicken, chops or steak anything you like can be a Breakfast food. We tend to think of only cereals, yogurt & eggs. Break free and enjoy.

:crying:

I do A LOT of greek yogurt too!!! I mix in some blueberries or raspberries and some splenda...it really is yummy!!

Funnything...I go by Amybee all the time...and I went to ASU...just thought it was sort of a coincidence!

Hi! I think outside of the box too since my tummy really doesn't like breakfast. eggs usually made me sick and after awhile especially on hot days oatmeal isn't too fun. So, I started eating Protein in the form of chicken. Since I have low Iron levels to begin with, I make chicken ahead of time and slice it into small pieces and then pack a little baggie with a few slices for breakfast. Having the protein really jump starts my day and gets me going.

Greek yogurt has a lot of Protein in it. I find myself eating it more and more. I don't care for it plain, so I add a tbsp of honey to mine. You could also mix Cereal with yogurt instead of milk. I do this because if I use milk it goes straight down and doesn't keep me satisfied very long.

Aubrie~ Love all your breakfast ideas!

I used to love fried chicken for breakfast. Now I coat (de-skinned) chicken breasts in olive oil, roll them in seasoned bread crumbs, and place on a cookie sheet, cover with foil and bake in the oven on 350 until the chicken is done. It tastes a lot like fried chicken, only better for you. It's a Protein packed breakfast that will keep you full for hours. You can also coat the chicken in tobasco sauce to spice it up a little.

      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!!
