I am wondering if anyone has ideas for a filling breakfast. I have tried cereal, but I feel hungry an hour later. The same happens with oatmeal (I thought that was suppose to be filling. Maybe I should eat more than one serving?). I have tried pancakes and while they leave me full, they really pack on the calories. I try to do several small meals throughout the day like suggested, but sometimes that isn't totally realistic at work. I've taken to sucking on candy (Bad habit, too many empty calories  ).
I end up binge eating when I get home because my stomach feels so miserable which brings temporary relief, followed by intense bloating (Does anyone else get that tight feeling right beneath the rib cage when they haven't eaten in a while? It's leaves me feeling winded and miserable.)
It's been a while since I have posted, but eveyone is always so helpful and understanding when I do post. Thanks  .

Hi,I have 2 packs of instant oatmeal with Tummy fiber in it.
Some times I fix a banana smoothie with soymilk and Tummy fiber in it,I make a big glass full,really filling. I take Luna Bars with me for snacks,they really help me keep something in my stomach(and taste good) Hope this is some help---Good luck !

Lately I've been having luck with half a plain bagel smeared with Tofutti "Better than cream cheese" and a small serving of fruit - canteloupe, berries, etc.. Keeps me going for a while

my usual before going to work in the morning is either....
-regular old fashioned oatmeal (not the fake stuff in the packets) with some honey or agave syrup for a little sweetness and either a banana cut up into it or even a teaspoon of peanut butter.
-toast with peanut butter
- nonfat greek yogurt (usually plain...i love the tartness and i love the thicker consistency of greek yogurt but i have to make sure its nonfat otherwise the regular is like 15g of fat per serving!) with either some mango bits or banana or whatever fruit you like...you could probably add some fiber in it if fruit gives you problems...luckily this gives me no problem.
-cereal with almond milk
-smoothie: frozen fruit, Acacia fiber, nonfat plain yogurt, either almond milk or OJ
-frozen waffles (i try to buy the healthier kind) with either some butter or jam spread on it and some berries

Hey, I was just wondering if you have any symptoms at all with eating the Greek yogurt since there is low fat milk in it?

Nope i've never had a problem with it, however i have had problems with yogurt that has cream in it. My favorite greek yogurts are Trader Joes, Chobani 0%, and Oikos...however they are a bit pricey ($1.50 per yogurt cup..but so yummy) There are a few brands that add some kind of emulsifier or thickener that doesn't taste as good (Greek gods does this) as these.

Breakfast has turned out to be one of my favorite meal times now! I usually have:
1. Puffins cereal with Stonyfield Farm non-fat or low-fat yogurt, or almond milk, a small piece of toast with jam, a banana, and a little bit of orange juice
2. frozen waffles, Nature's Path usually or homemade, yogurt mixed with banana and frozen fruit
3. Nature's Path oatmeal packet, small piece of toast, fruit and a little bit of orange juice
4. Other good cereals are Nature's Path cornflakes, maple sunrise, vanilla.

Cheerios don't seem to bother me. I do steer clear of them when I am having a bad day. I am guilty of eating miniwheats as well. I got tired of standing in the cereal isle too!  I've have really cut down on the cereal though. My tummy has been on the rampage. So far, eating oatmeal, like was suggested, has helped. I eat a slice or two of toast with it.
