Breakfast Ideas?
what about chili?
or turkey and cheese roll ups
soup? I love lentil soup for breakfast
before surgery I used to eat left over egg rolls for breakfast....
I like greek yogurt with sweetner (I use syrups) a scoop of vanilla protein powder, half a banana and some pecans (you could use TVP for more protein)
I do a lot of different breakfast things...
Greek yogurt mixed with berries or cocoa
cheese
cottage cheese
ricotta cheese made savory or sweet
nsa peanut butter on either a 1/4 piece of whole grain bread or a low carb 4" tortilla
leftovers
ham and cheese roll ups
ham rolled up with low fat cream cheese and a sprinkling of fresh chopped chives
turkey and cheddar
I do egg beaters because we (meaning upper chesapeake patients) aren't supposed to do eggs more than 3 times a week and I mix in feta cheese, or different veggies like spinach or brocolli

I tried this new cottage cheese called Friendship (new to me) It's WHIPPED! I hate the texture of regular cottage cheese but I had this for the first time yesterday.

Tons you can do with cottage cheese. I actually had this for dinner last night and mixed in 2 TBLS of Trader Giottos (hehe) Bruchetta. It was SO GOOD! YUM!

It looks like you are doing and feeling great! I love the Breakstone cottage cheese and fruit combo. They come in a few flavors. My fav's are pineapple and peach. I also make egg salad on a regular basis. If I boil a dozen eggs I discard 4-5 yolks. I am sorry that's all I have, as you can see I am not too creative! Good Luck, Leslie:)
Thanks everyone. I'm thankful for all the suggestions. I am such a picky eater that I'm going to have to force myself to try new things or things I haven't had in years (like cottage cheese). I was never told to limit my eggs but I'm smart and I know that too much of a good thing is not always good. I'm just trying to be really careful with the protein but I cant get much of anything in my pouch, liquid or food.

4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese
1 lb sausage
1/4 cup of green peppers
1/4 cup of red peppers
3/4 cup spinach
1/4 cup red onions
I brown the sausage and then mix all the ingredients together. I bake it on 350 for 40 mins. Take it out and drizzle cheese and whole wheat bread crumbs on top and put it back in under the broiler for about 7-10 mins.
I love it because its breakfast (and sometimes other meals) for at least a week!!
