Breakfast a no-go?
Hey y'all. I have been having an issue lately where my stomach just doesn't seem at all interested in breakfast. It doesn't matter what I eat, after about half of it, my stomach is saying "Leave me alone!" I feel full and, sometimes, a little nauseous. Usually, in an hour and a half, I'm feeling hungry. (I take a PPI, so I don't think it's that, but you never know.) Also, the things that I eat at breakfast, I can eat the full serving at any other meal. (Full serving for me right now is 4oz by volume.)
Anyone else run into this problem? How did you solve it?
I make myself drink a protein shake in the morning because I know I will be ten times hungrier later if I do not have something. I know other people here on OH do not eat breakfast and do just fine.

Are you drinking anything in the morning that is maybe suppressing your appetite? I'm not a breakfast eater AT ALL, but I realized that if I have morning coffee before breakfast, I'm not in the mood to eat. Try eating something small right when you wake up like cottage cheese or something that isn't hard to prepare. Your body will get used to it and you'll form a habit.
I also have a shake for breakfast.

Don't eat breakfast. ;)
There is in fact very little evidence to back up the idea breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In fact, people who eat breakfast tend to eat more calories per day.
Don't starve yourself to the point you're ravenous and make poor choices but don't eat if you aren't hungry.
