Breakfasts

[Raynebubble]

Hi i am after some suggestions for Breakfasts, i am two weeks post op bypass, and at the moment i have a munch bunch fromais frais for brekkie... my diet sheet from the dietician as a guidline says:

1 pot of fromais frais or
weetabix or
porridge

thing is i dont like weetabix or porridge and im beginning to feel i could do with a bit more than a fromais frais for brekkie.. any suggestions?

thanks i may do that, i have been having scrambled egg every other day for lunch though, is there a limit to how many eggs we should have a week.
i like scrambled egg which is strange cos i didnt really like it before op lol xx

How about cracker bread crispbreads spread with a bit of peanut butter or low fat philly. The cracker breads chew away to nothing a bit like quavers.

How about ready brek, or some shreddies with hot milk, they have a very soft texture then. Maybe a bit of low fat,low sugar rice pudding? Some stewed fruit and low fat custard?

Eat whatever you fancy and goes down ok,doesnt have to be regular brekkie stuff!

Weekends I have bacon & eggs, weekdays muller rice or balance red berries cereal or oatibix with cranberry & apple. I just go with flow depending on the time & how soon I have to be somewhere or doing something.

Yes quite often now and I have them for snacks too. They are the Ryvita crackerbread ones in a yellow box, they melt away to nothing so are a good carrier for protein packed things like peanut butter, low fat humous, laughing cow, pate etc. I also eat seafood sticks too as they chew away to nothing as well, I don't eat those for breakfast though.

I am gonna get some crispbreads tmro for defo and try them and get some pate and laughing cow cheese... i think that will be a nice alternative to my munch bunch yogurts...i hope i can tolerate them... although i havnt had any problems with anything else so far xx

I can't stand porridge either, however if you put 2 teaspoons of porridge oats in a dry pan and just lightly toast them until light brown and then mix them in with the yoghurt...it is really yummy. I have it for my breakfast each day with half a grated apple and a pinch of dessicated coconut and chopped nuts. Really nice breakfast with the goodness of porridge but not that Yuck taste! Good luck. xx
(PS I have not had my surgery yet)

Sadly not. I was refereed Sept 2010, Saw the consultant and listed in Feb 2011 - I hope it will be some time in the new year, as I am frightened if it's too far away, I may well be dead before the op, or told by the anaesthetist that I am too high risk to operate on...
