Breakfast
You might try Instant Oatmeal Quaker has a Calorie Reduced Instant. They also have instant Grits & Cream of Wheat. I make the Cream of Wheat with Chocolate EAS shake it ups the protein and taste a little like Malt-O-Meal. They are 100 calories but adding 1/2 a EAS will make it 150 calories. Any of these you can add protein powder or instant milk to increase the protein. Eat like everything else in moderation. I posted this before and caught a lot of flack but it was suggested to me by Vanderbilt and I've done well with it?
You will have to be the judge.
Some times I just have a little Greek Yogurt (the plain) then I add a little Cinnamon or Blue Berries and equal, it gives you 15-19g of protein.
Good Luck!

I like some of the breakfast recipes over at Eggface's website . If you've never seen Michelle, she does some really cool things. My favorite right now is this one:
Shelly's Banana Coconut Protein Breakfast Souffle
Or you could do just what I do. A nice protein shake in the morning!
Good luck!

Scott taught us how to make protein coffee a few weeks ago. Put 2 ounces of fat free half and half in your magic bullet with 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder (I use Matrix chocolate or Nectar Vanilla Bean Torte) and some sugar free syrups of your choice. I also add my Benefiber to it. Blend really good and put 1/3 in a coffee cup. Slowly, stirring all the time, add your coffee. I drink this in 3 cups of 1/2 caf coffee every morning and rarely eat any breakfast. Sometimes, I am so full, I don't eat lunch either!
3 cups of this coffee gives you 258 calories, 12 carbs, and 49 grams of protein!

I sometimes have a ready-to-drink protein shake like Myoplex. You can add some of it to your coffee to get the protein in too. Sorta tastes like the fu-fu coffees.
Or you can mix your own protein shake and add a little fruit, like half a banana, to it. Like Bob L. said, the instant oatmeal is good, but I found I have to mix it very thin (almost soupy).
I also made jello using the protein shots. Just replace some of the water with a 3 oz. shot. Tastes good and helps ya get the protein in.
Light Yogurt is a good option. But my all time favorite is ricotta with preserves. You mix some ricotta cheese with some SF preserves (any flavor - I like strawberry). Yummm! At 7-weeks you are on soft to regular foods right? Have you tried the morning star sausage?
Yep, eggs get old really quick. Have you tried Egg Beaters. I love those with some cheese and salsa. Also, I would make deviled eggs when I got tired of eating regular eggs.
You can eat just about anything for breakfast. You don't have to necessarily eat "Breakfast" minded foods for breakfast. If you like something else - like chicken or tuna salad- eat that for breakfast.
Or like others suggested, you can keep it simple and just have a protein shake. Good luck on finding options.
