No protein in the morning

For a long time, I didn't eat eggs in the morning because they'd upset my stomach. Even as a child, I'd ONLY eat eggs at breakfast with toast, alone made me feel sick. But I only just realised that really, I can't eat any protein in the morning. I hadn't realised because mostly I don't feel like bacon or meat or fish or whatever first thing, but it hit me that its because I know instinctively that if I eat those things, I'll have an upset stomach later.

I have struggled with indigestion and a hiatus hernia and take omprezole and I'm wondering that's the problem - first thing in the morning there isn't enough acid floating around to digest protein (I take my omeprazole at night). I'm already trying to lose weight and one of the reasons is that I know if I'm less heavy I can hugely reduce my omeprazole and, hopefully if I lose enough weight, potentially eliminate it. So maybe that's the trick.

Does anyone else have tis or have any ideas?
