Ideas for Breakfast?

Hey everyone!

So here I am, almost 14 months post op and I am down over 100 pounds (I haven't weighed in over a month, so I don't know really!).  Anyhow, in the past 7 weeks, my pouch has suddenly started staging a coup at breakfast.  I can't eat anything and not be running to the bathroom within an hour.

Before surgery, I hated breakfast food as a whole anyhow.  The only thing I really liked then was french toast and occasionally a poached egg on wheat toast.  I really don't even care for cold cereal...I would rather much on it for a snack than eat it with milk.  Since I have never been a big breakfast person anyhow, after surgery this wasn't a huge deal.  I drank my protein shakes and when I graduated to soft, pureed and then regular food, I had a poached or scrambled egg.  I also started having steel cut oats with a couple of sliced of finely chopped granny smith apple and some Log Cabin SF syrup.  As you can see, my choices were limited, but a protein shake, an occasional poached egg, or some steel cut oats with fruit was working ok.

Well, fast forward to now.  Since about the beginning of August, suddenly, I can't tolerate eggs at all! I have an egg, ANY STYLE, and within 15 minutes, it is GONE and the sweat is running off my face and I feel like death.  I once again tried cold cereal with milk and the same thing...GONE.  I thought maybe I should switch it up and have cottage cheese.  GONE.  Greek yogurt made me dump like a crazy person the first time I ever had it.  Now, for the 5th day in a row, I just dumped on steel cut oatmeal.  And what is really weird is that it seems like I eat something for breakfast, ANYTHING AT ALL, and then I go dump everything out of me, and within minutes, I feel spectacular.  Then, the rest of the day, I am fine. 

Does anyone else have this problem?  I know I have to eat something in the morning, but I can't tolerate anything.  Is this normal?  Help me!  LOL  I can't live on Herbalife shakes forever!  Thanks for anything you can put out there!

My pouch is a beast in the morning so I always start with something easy on the tummy like a protein drink (I only drink Atkins), a cup of yogurt or SF pudding or once in awhile a small amount of oatmeal.  Then in a hour or 2 I am able to eat a bit more, like an egg with cheese or some turkey bacon.  My husband does that same thing- he has 2 breakfasts- first a drink and a couple hours later an omlette.  

I am worried a little about the big change i would talk to your doctor. There could be something else going on. I am boring for breakfast I still drink protein shakes because i dont have time to make anything

For a long time I could not tolerate real eggs, but did fine with egg beaters.  Now I am fine with hard boiled eggs.  Have you tried Weigh****chers String Cheese, or Frigo Cheese Heads Light?

first of all throw out the idea of "breakfast" foods. Breakfast is just the meal you eat when you get up. If you can't tolerate eggs try some leftover steak or chicken bits, lunchmeat roll ups, a tortilla roll up, egg custard, protein shakes - be creative!!!

I am with Nicole though, you might want to follow up with your surgeon too
