Thank you to everyone who commented on the cereal question. I am transitioning into full regular foods, so I might ask the nurse at my surgeon's office, but glad to hear I'm not the only one who has at least thought of it. I'm trying to work into three "square meals" with my protein drinks in between as "snacks." I know there are several Kashi type cereal with quite a high protein content and lower in fat. They are a bit too crunchy for me at this stage. But, I may try Rice Krispies. I'll let you know. Thanks again.

I am just over three weeks post surgery and am beginning to move from mostly liquid to mushy type food. Is there any type of cold cereal that could be eaten at this stage? Or even in a couple of weeks (when I am a month to six weeks from surgery) I'm thinking of something like Rice Krispies. Something that can be chewed and chewed into a mush but still eaten. This was my favorite breakfast food before surgery. Any ideas?

I was surprised at how everything has smelled so much stronger to me. Every perfume, hair tonic, dog food, it's enough to make me gag. The taste has changed for me, but I haven't noticed the sweet thing. I'll have to pay attention. I also noticed the teeth breath thing. Glad to know it's only a protein thing....Oh yes... that's all I eat anymore. LOL

I am three weeks out from having my gastric sleeve and fundoplication surgery. I have been having such a hard time with retching. After the fundoplication it seems impossible to actually throw up. I spend hours each bad day I have retching or breathing in and out trying not to retch. It's like dry heaves from a bad horror film. has anyone else had this problem? I'm beginning to think most of it is anxiety. I wake up and think..."Do I feel sick....am I going to have a good day or a bad day?" Any ideas? I don't know how much of this is the fundoplcation and or my anxiety or the gastric sleeve. I keep waiting for the day when I will say "Gosh I would do it all over again." Help?????
