Ok I need b'fast ideas too
Got a small blender (you can get one at Walmart for $20):
1 cup milk (I use unsweetened almond milk, creamier and lower calorie/carb)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup still-frozen berries (I buy them in bags in the frozen food section)
1 pack sweetner if desired
Blend. Like a fruit milkshake.
Prep time: 2-3 minutes.

On Sunday nights I make a breakfast frittata. The thing about frittata or casseroles is that you can put in them what you want. That keeps it different.
ingredients I have used:
eggs as base, of course
various peppers
various onion- usually green or chives
various meats- ham, bacon, sausage, italian sausage, turkey
frozen spinach- thawed and drained, ofcourse
fresh spinach
various cheeses- usually extra sharp cheddar, but sometimes others like gruyere
It only gets boring if I let it. I make enough for at least 4 mornings. Put on a saucer in the morning and nuke for 30 secs and that's breakfast.
When I'm in an anti-egg mood, I may do a turkey or ham rollup with cheddar cheese and rosemary or almond butter on toast.

I make this banana bread recipe, and make muffins instead. I substitute the wheat flour for more protein powder, lowering the carbs and increasing protein.

Thanks for the banana bread recipe. I need to get busy on Sunday and cook up some of the great ideas I've gotten here.

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
