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
