breakfast help

hi everyone i need breakfast help, i can barely look at food in the morning since my surgery. anyone have any helpful thoughts. i know i need to eat, and i know i need to eat protein, but im not doing very well. im six weeks out this wednesday, and ive lost 42 lbs, which i am thrilled about. but now that im back to work, i know i need to get something down in the morning. any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks, jacki

I used to have my protein drink as breakfast in the morning for the first two months. Alternatively, yogurt or cottage cheese are stereotypical, but good choices. Moist scrambled eggs, possibly with shredded cheese. Good luck. Hugs, Nannette

I like Nanette's suggestion....I always have a protein shake for breakfast, as it's a no brainer and I'm not very keen on other "breakfast" foods (well, unless you count donuts/muffins/waffles and the like as breakfast foods---but I don't do those anymore!!LOL!). Sometimes I'll add 1/2 banana, or make it with Calorie Countdown instead of water. It's quick and keeps me full (I'm not that hungry in the am****il midmorning, when I can have a protein snack to look forward to. Great job on your weightloss! Julie

Jacki, I agree with Nanette, yogurt, cottage cheese, non-fat ricotta cheese, maybe even string cheese...hard boiled eggs, or a protein shake are good breakfast options. I have a cookbook called Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery that has some good recipes. I think its a great book because it address each type of WLS and how each recipe can be modified and what your serving size should be depending on what point you are at... I got it at Barnes and Noble or Borders...It costs about $20 but is a good investment.... I also hated protein drinks and had a hard time with them, but I used ISOPURE, it is a fruit punch, not milky....I didn't love it, but I could get it down, the colder the better...I got that at Shoprite in the Vitamin aisle and I have seen it at GNC and Walgreens. Walgreens had the best price..... Good Luck, Kelly
