So I am trying to learn about the diet Frank will need to go on once he has his renal system removed. I was so unhappy to read about no STARFRUIT with dialysis. Because he loves starfruit so much I went to the market & bought him one and told him to enjoy now because you can't eat them after. I was thinking about what am I going to feed him for breakfast once he needs to follow a diet. So please tell me what you had for breakfast.

Diane,
There are some things that you will just have to avoid (like starfruit) but for the most part it will be a matter of watching Frank's labs and adjusting what he eats accordingly. It gets easier once you get familiar with which foods are high in phosphorous and potassium.
My husband's labs are always very good. Sometimes his potassium is at the high end of acceptable, so he cuts back on orange juice.
Today he had this for breakfast:
granola, prunes, milk on his cereal, cranberry juice.
-
scrambled eggs on an english muffin
-
I had French Toast made with vanilla and sugar. 8)
-
I am suppose to have breakfast? Oops! Seriously, the renal diet isn't bad, just moderation and watching you labs. It will become routine after awhile. :2thumbsup;

i'm not really the ideal patient, i don't actually follow any diet. I use the 'have a hubby' diet. Anything he is eating i have a bite of, that way i can still have a bit and not mess up my labs too much.
-
So please tell me what you had for breakfast.
Here are some really great breakfast recipes:

-
Eggs, always eat as much protein as recommended.
-
Cottage cheese on toast today.
-
A bagel with cream cheese.
-
Oatmeal.... still winter and still love oatmeal..... english muffin, coffee.......
does everyone still eat breakfast?????
-
Being diabetic I have to eat breakfast. On "D" days I eat 1 breakfast burrito from McD's...hold the cheese! Not going to cook at 5am. Wish I liked oatmeal but :puke; My chickens are laying about 1 doz eggs a week in this bitter cold. I like eggs and at least my protein levels are good! But I miss having grapefruit!!

I do, jump starts my day. Today is a dialysis (greeting from dialysis :waving;) and I always eat oatmeal on dialysis days. Tomorrow is up for grabs.
-
Two cups (well mugs) of coffee
small container low fat fruity yogurt
1/2 Bagel (sometimes with cream cheese)
I hate breakfast... anytime before noon that is. Breakfast (Brunch) out noon or later Eggs Benedict or Scrambled Eggs with choriso. But now Tyeflyl won't get that special surprise in the morning.
-
Your right... anyone who eats chorizo anytime of the day ...... needs a wake up call........ :rofl;
-
I am lazy today .... cold cereal..... rice chex ... my favorite......
-
My boring breakfast nearly every weekday:
3/4 cup of blueberries mixed with GoLean and FiberOne, with soy milk. A cup of coffee to wash down the vitamins. That's it.
Weekends we have eggs or french toast or such.
-
nowdays, just decaf coffee unless early doctors appointment in the city, then it's McDonalds Plain Sausage McMuffin. Was never much of a breakfast person even as a diabetic unless I went out for breakfast.
If I have oatmeal, it has to be one of the flavored ones or cream of wheat (plain or fruit)
-
Cereal with vanilla rice drink instead of milk and a piece of fruit and a cup of coffee.
-
I was wondering how that rice milk does...... is it good or is it something that you have to get to like....
-
At the cost of that stuff, you better get to like it till it's gone :rofl;
-
Blueberry pop tart and oat meal
-
coffee, yogurt and insulin
-

It is something you get to like. The different brands definitely taste different. I do not drink it straight although my daughter does. She likes it that way. It is really not that bad on cereal. Chris, I usually find at least one brand on sale at the different grocery stores I shop at.
-
Get serious, Mark... It tastes like day old throw up...
-
Don't listen to Dan. My 16 year old daughter would not drink day old throw up. I just had a bowl, it is really not that bad.

One cup of coffee....
I swear..... I could eat the same things day and day..... I am so boring..... even my dogs think I am a boring coke..... sometimes when I feed them they just stair at the bowl and then stair at me.... and then don't eat.... WTF..... Starve..... :rofl;
-
hehe Mark. No one ever listens to Dan anyway.
-
:bandance; Mmm I love my brekky A cup of tea, a cup of coffee, 2 slices of toast 1 with mashed banana ( 33% of 1 ) 1 with chocolate sprinkles (from Holland (the real ones)) Meds in between my tea and coffee. A nice soft egg when I`v bought some fresh ones. Couldn`t live without.
-
hehe Mark. No one ever listens to Dan anyway.
That's Marc with a c :rofl;
-
I didn't know so I do it each way (rotate)...But remember what I told the last guy who pulled that on me.... mmm
I asked you to be my facebook friend and you just ignore me.
-
No I didn't I added you right away.
-
My dietician put me onto Rice Milk. I love it!
-
i never used to be able to eat before 10 or 11 am. but since the onset of dialysis if i don't eat something within an hour or so of getting up i get sick. so today i had cheesy fried potatoes and a fried egg. now i'd really rather go out to breakfast instead of cooking. i usually have a small pot of tea too. sometimes i have cereal, but not oatmeal. the only thing oatmeal is good for is cookies.
-
My dietician suggested rice milk too. She also suggest chocolate and cokes for my low pot and phos. I took half of her advice. Guess which half.
-
Steel cut oatmeal (so different than rolled oats, and much healthier) with fresh blueberries, honey and a little milk.

Yummy.. if you mean real skim milk?
-
I really miss not being able to have real dairy cow Moooo milk. But rice milk if really cold is better than nothing. I drink the Nepro also.
I'm having Cream of Wheat this morning.
-
OH yes thank you Rerun...... I love cream of wheat....... and its still winter and that s whats for breatkfast for me ...... Good Idea...
-
this morning again lazy..... cold cereal and milk... hand full of tums.... coffee ( one cup )
-
No, I am the lazy one, warmed up left overs from last night. Homemade chiecken (I'm getting tired of chicken) pot pie.
-
Rob, you are off topic. The subject is "what's for breakfast" and not what did you have for dinner last night.
-
I had a granola bar this morning and some coffee. I shoved it down my throat before the kids got to the room. No point in trying to eat anything once they get there.
-
Rob, you are off topic. The subject is "what's for breakfast" and not what did you have for dinner last night.
Ah, No Dan I am not. That IS what I had for breakfast yesterday morning. Did I say I hate chicken :rofl; :rofl;
This morning more tranditional oat meal mixed with Pro Cel protein powder. Breakfast of champions! :rofl; :rofl;
-
toast with butter (the anti cholesterol stuff) and VEGEMITE.. just a little... with PD failing my sodium is low so i can have a little. (It's nothing like marmite, you only use a very thin layer on hit toast that's got lots of melted butter). but normally i'll have a crumpet with either a little jam or vegemite.. with coffee! (thats when i'm awake early enough for breaky)
-
today was really naughty, had breaky at lunch time and went to yum cha
-
waffles, good home made waffles.
-
fish sticks on toast with lettuce and tomatoes and tartar sauce --
hot tea with lemon to drink
-
One english muffin with Heart Smart and a small smear of peanut butter. One cup of coffee, meds. and all the water I can hold. Sorry, I am not on D yet, but have found that if I dont drink at least 2 bottles of water ( 16 oz) I will be in for leg cramps at night.
-
Grits mixed with Pro Cel protein powder, yum! :rofl; :rofl;
-
We have switched!
I start a small crockpot of hot multigrain cereal at night and there it is ready for breakfast in the AM. I add my 3/4 cup up blueberries and I have purple hot cereal! :rofl;
-
Wow that is a really good idea. Do you think it will work with cream a wheat? That would be so nice for times I don't feel good for the kids. Tho it really isn't that hard for me to make them cream a wheat. Im just lazy. Lol
-
Grits mixed with Pro Cel protein powder, yum! :rofl; :rofl;
I have never had grits. I can only think of My Cousin Vinny and the fact that they take 20 minutes to cook.
-

hot tea lemon
wanted grits but I have been eating grits too much

Ah but they have "instant" gritts now. Packaged like instant oatmeal. You can microwave them. Never saw them though till I moved to North Carolina.
And keeping with the purpose of the thread, this morning Crispex.

How do you make grits yummy? I have never had them and enjoyed them
-

I admit they are an aquired taste. I sweeten them, it helps. I grew up eating them. Didn't know any better :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Hot tea with lemon? Yucky, like hot tea but drink it "straight" no aditives.
Ice tea with lemon?

Scrabbled eggs and sausage.

My breakfast is always one of 3 choices - cereal, toasted english muffin with strawberry jam, or 2 slices whole wheat bread toasted with cheese.

One egg omelette, with cream cheese, two cherry tomatoes diced, fresh basil, teaspoon of diced ham, black pepper. Wrap in a warm tortilla and eat. Renal friendly I think.
