Monday Question of the day...
I make myself eat breakfast everyday. Some of the things I eat:
Cottage Cheese with NSA peaches
Egg, bacon, cheese wrap -I use the carb well fajita wrap, one egg, 2 slices of the microwave bacon, and a slice of reduced fat provolone. I grill it on my forman grill. It is easy to eat when I am on the go. I have also done it with just ham and cheese.
If you have time you can make a breakfast pizza on the low carb tortillas. I do this on the weekends
Blue bunny Light yougurt with almond slivers mixed in
These are staples, but sometimes I just have leftovers for brekfast.
My best choice is string cheese. I like the cheddar/mozzarella twist ones the best. They are easy and I can even eat them on my drive to work if I have to. (Did I mention that I am not a morning person?) On the weekends, I usually try to get in a scrambled egg and maybe a piece of bacon or sausage... I have been considering trying to go back to a protein shake for breakfast, just because it seemed easier when I was on the pre-op diet.
I'm hopeful that someone will post up some great easy ideas that I can borrow!

I like variety, so I choose one of the following, and cycle through:
1 egg, sunny-side up, with 1-2 slices of Canadian bacon
1 serving Oatmeal, with a pear half with shredded cheddar cheese on it (don't knock it, 'til you've tried it)
1-2 egg omelet, with mushrooms and low-fat cheese
3/4 c. puffed wheat or puffed rice cereal, with skim milk and 1-2 slices bacon
Small breakfast steak (nothing else with it, or I get too full)
Leftovers from the dinner the night before
Keep in mind that I'm pre-op. Who knows what I'll be able to tolerate post-VSG, but I'm not scared! :)

I've been having a boosted up protein drink for breakfast. Today I had some cottage cheese (really good organic stuff yumyum) but you know what-I've also hit the cookies this afternoon-so it will be protein for me in the morning again.
My AHA about breakfast is that those calories really aren't to enjoy-they are to get you going. If I "save" them for something I like better, it's usually later in the day and not as healthy a choice.
Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal
Yogurt with Granola
Pancakes with Sliced fruit on top
Turkey Bacon
Those are just some of the things I eat...
