Best time to eat BREAKFAST !!!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am 4.5 months after lab-band surgery, I have lost about 57 lbs since my surgery, but what I want to know is that, What is the best time to eat Breakfast for optimum weight loss and what is quick and easy for that???

I wake up at 7 am to feed my q yr old twins their bottle, get my 10 yr old ready for school and his breakfast and stuff, babies take their nap and I make their babyfood.

I don't eat anything until 12:00 pm since I wake up. Is this good or not?

Please let me know, does the motabolism stuff matter after LAP-BAND® surgery or not?

Research suggests that Breakfast is the most important because it gets your metabolism going. There's no reason LB surgery would change that, if true.

Personally, I eat my first meal at 7 a.m. and then eat a small meal every 3 hours (6 small meals a day).

Yes, you should be at least drinking a Protein Shake every morning. Breakfast is important. Six small meals a day has been proven to be better for you anyway. That is why they recommend it to diabetics. More balanced.

A high-protein breakfast was my doctor's first diet rule. I'm guessing it has to do with metabolism, but for me, it helps me not to graze during the morning. I am usually tight in the morning, so I can't eat right when I wake up. I usually drink about a quart of Water in the a.m. (from 5:30 - 7:00 a.m.), drink about 1/2 mug of hot coffee, then eat a boiled egg while I'm driving to work at 7:15.

for whatever its worth my practice advises eating when hungry so that could mean skipping breakfast. I said REALLY??? isn't that bad for you? In any case they are ok w/ 2 meals a day. I end up doing 12 noon 5 pm then 8 or 9 pm they just tell us to listen to our bodies. sometimes i will do a Protein Shake in the AM. I am gettiing enough Protein

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
