Start eating breakfast it's the most important meal of the day. You need
to fuel up in the morning. I eat cottage cheese with fresh fruit and
truvia or splenda. Whole grain toast with peanut butter. Scrambled eggs
with cheese turkey bacon. Deli meat with cream cheese in the middle. Hard
boiled eggs, string cheese. Anything with protien, I've been known to eat
dinner leftovers for breakfast.

I'm pretty much a "same thing every morning" type of gal. But,
it's high protein, and I like it, and I don't get tired of it. I scramble
up one serving (1/4 cup) of EggBeaters Original with 1 slice of Great Value
Fat Free Turkey Breast lunch meat from WalMart (diced up), and about 2
medium-sized fresh mushrooms diced up fine, and 15 grams of Weight
Watcher's 4-Cheese Mexican shredded cheese) all mixed together. I also
have 1/2 a banana (for potassium content), and 1/2 cup of sliced
strawberries with Splenda on them (for carbohydrates). I eat that probably
25 days out of 30. The other days, I eat a bowl of the new Fiber One
Caramel Delight cereal with 1 cup of Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla
Almond Milk, or one package of Kashi Go Lean instant Oatmeal, with maybe a
few blueberries mixed in (high in fiber). But, I watch out for the cereal
and oatmeal, because they're much higher in carbs than I like (I try to
keep my carb intake to 50 or below per day, and I usually like to eat them
in the form of vegetables or fruits). Although grains are okay, they just
have to be whole grains, not refined.

I usually have cottage cheese or yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs, cheese, a
protein bar or protein shake.

I am over a year post op and had the same issues as you. I am on thyroid
medication and can not eat for one hour after I take it. In order to get
the much needed protein and nutrients in the am I would drink a protein
(EAS Whey) shake with skim milk first thing in the morning. It wasn't
until nearly 8 months post op that I could get down solids ie; scrambled
eggs, and cottage cheese with fruit. Now generally I still throw in a
protein shake because I am busy in the am, go to the gym and by the time I
get home am ready for an egg roll up...YUMMM. I use 1/4 cup egg beaters,
2tbs cheddar cheese, some cut up grape tomatoes, and 2 strips of precooked
bacon and roll it in a low cal whole wheat wrap. It fills me up until a
light snack (yogurt) then dinner.

I drink Chai protein drink from Bariatriceating.com during the week. On
the weekends, 2 eggs with 2 oz cheese on top. Good luck. Hugs Jane

I have a protien shake first thing in the morning, i place it the blender
with frozen strawberries and a wedge of apple. Its the perfect breakfast
for me. I use Premier Nutirtion Protein Shake that i get at Cost-Co,
30grams of protein per serving.

Same as the first poster, Susan - that's pretty much been my MO for the
last 6 months. Sometimes I'll have a protein shake w/ Fruit and a hard
boiled egg, but my staples are one hard boiled egg w/ a little ham and
cheese (can't do scrambled w/o cheese - makes me really nauseous) or
cottage cheese w/ melon or some other fresh fruit. Every so often I'll
have a very thin potato pancake w/ sour cream (or fage )%) and smoked
salmon - love this - or even just a piece of leftover salmon from dinner
the night before (a la Dr. Perricone), and have been known to even eat some
thin-crust pizza w/ veggies on it, but only 1 piece and I'll trypically
have a protein shake maybe an hour after. I eat about 3-4 oz every meal,
about 5-6 meals a day, depensing on how active I am. I hit goal before I
hit a year out and am doing great! Good luck!

I eat a yogurt parfait and it is approved by my dietician.
One package of carbmaster yogurt, a few blueberries and top with a tiny bit
of plain granola.
They are like the parfaits you could get at McDonalds.
You may not be able to eat a whole one.
I struggled with what to eat at breakfast too. Good luck.

I have the hardest time eating in the morning. I always have. Now... it
is almost like the surgery is an excuse not to eat in the morning! Of
course, I know that isn't the way to go. I always get down my protein
shake. I am IN LOVE with <a
href="http://www.bariatricfusion.com/mealrep.php">Bariatric
Fusion</a> because it comes in a ton of flavors and I have to have
variety. It is also high protein (27 g) and low fat/no sugar. No, I don't
work there. I mix mine with soy milk (not into dairy and my dietitian told
me I wasn't getting enough fat in my diet) and try to toss some fruit in
for breakfast.
That is usually all I can manage. It replaces my morning latte and gives
me what I need to hit the gym or get to the barn to work my horses. Then I
eat breakfast for lunch. I love an egg sunny side up on a crustini or an
egg white omelette with spinach and tomato. My body just isn't really
ready to deal with hard foods until around 12 or 1 and my dietitian doesn't
think there is a problem with that as long as I rock out my protein shake
in the mornings.
