What kind of protein Shake/bar are you using?
I use quest protein bars or the simply bar (vegan variety).
I make a green smoothie protein shake every morning using almond milk, spinach, strawberries and vega one protein powder.
I don't have time to cook in the morning so I drink my shake on the way to work.

Breakfast on the go is usually Click (vanilla flavor only with skim and ice in a blender - if you like 'bux, you will LOVE this!) Or I like Strawberry Amplify Smoothie...my shakes have to be in a blender with ice to be a meal replacement for me (except the below example)
I did use 100% Whole Gains mango this morning in my blender bottle during my workout for the first time. this stuff is YUMMY and kept me full till after 12 (and i'm right at 4 years out, too). I could only imagine it in a blender with some ice - total mango smoothie I tell ya.
Bars - Quest is good with the fiber, Supreme Protein, Oh Yeah wafers in the freezer, PowerCrunch.

For me protein shakes and bars don't really hold me.
I can cook an egg in about 3 minutes.
Greek yogurt mixed with fruit..you can make those up ahead of time and eat them in the car (if you are sitting in traffic!)
The easiest is to grab a couple of cheese sticks and some roast beef deli meat.
If I don't start the day with protein I set myself up for blood sugar crashes and have to chase it all day.
This week I've been eating tuna fish salad for breakfast.

I hate breakfast too. It just doesn't seem to sit right.... so coffee, coffee, coffee until about 10... then a Power Crunch wafer bar (always the PB creme flavor). I didn't like the texture of quest at all - very dense & chewy. Power crunch are light & crispy.
I was a regular breakfast eater pre-op, don't know why it bothers me now. I blame it on my vits.
