Anyone suggest some breakfast ideas other than eggs and yogurt so I can get protien?? How are protien bars? I am 10 weeks out since surgery. Thanks.

I've been having cereal IN my protein shake.  I know I should be getting more protein, but it's the only thing I can really stomach in the morning.  And, if it's not cereal, I just drink an Atkin's protein shake.

I can only tolerate Eggs and Turkey sausage in the morning.

Careful with protein bars. They are trigger for some of us (me). Make sure you find one that isn't a trigger.

I do a protein shake in the morning and then eat real food around 10 am. Just can't get up the gumption to make something in the morning.

Pretty much what Frisco said. They are just a glorified candy bar.

I can't just eat one. I think about them. They talk to me. I try to figure out how to make it to protein bar time without eating my arm off. It's a Gollum kind of obsession.

I gave up protein bars for awhile. Then I allowed them back in my life because I had a high-stress situation with my dad and step mom and I need easy protein. Then I got rid of them again. Then I got to 1 year post op and said **** it I want a damn treat and had protein bars because they weren't all that bad. Now I am rid of them again.

I've done some analyzing of my weight loss over the past year and they haven't seemed to slow my loss. But they take up a lot of my brain time.

They take over my thoughts. I find ways to justify them.

That's a trigger.

I should also add that I work out a lot and the workouts require a recovery protein. For awhile I used protein bars, but they just are too much like crack to me. I tried a new protein bar today that doesn't seem to trigger anything, but honestly, I want/need to stay away from protein bars completely until I get to maintenance. For me, maybe even forever.

Totally agree.  I actually shuddered when my nutritionist mentioned I could keep some of those handy.  Too much like snacky binge food to me, at least at this point.

What kind of bacon?  Do you go with turkey bacon or the real thing?

Protein bars are glorified Candy Bars and should be thought of as a maintenance/emergency food.

And really...... Cereal is on a WL plan????
