Some things to try, if you haven't already: - scrambled eggs or eggbeaters - hummous; either the commercial kind, or make your own with canned chick peas - refried beans, thinned out with hot water - bean soup - cottage cheese - yogurt - Carnation Instant Breakfast, the soy protein version (higher in protein, lower in carbs) - milk, if you have no lactose intolerance. Try making a smoothie by blending in a piece of frozen banana and some peanut butter - tofu. I'm told the silken tofu makes a good smoothie You probably need to do a lot of trial and error to see what agrees <!--more--> with you, and what works one day won't the next, and vice versa. A recent speaker in my support group said she was quite sick with nausea for weeks after surgery, but discovered that getting too hungry made it worse. Once she learned to force herself to eat more frequently she found it easier, and she also said that it was similar to morning sickness, in that nibbling on saltines really helped with the nausea.
