Ok so does anyone eat Cereal? I know we are all on low carb high Protein diets but I hate starting my day out with a big eggs and bacon type bfast and I also cant stomach a shake 1st thing in the morning. I love to eat bfast, but have always been more of a cereal type gal.

What is the rule if you eat it with just a very small amount of milk?

I just bought a box (for munching) and here are the stats.

Kashi GOLEAN

3/4 cup

190 cals

4g fat

35 carbs

8g Fiber

9g protein

I am trying to end my addiction to carbs but I get up at 6:30am and walk 3 miles @ 7am every day.

I need to have a little something on my stomach b4 I leave the house and also dont have time for cooking. Plus I go b4 my hubby and son wake up so I need a silent meal.

Any thoughts or other Bfast ideas??

Thanx

I eat most my carbs in the AM. I also have golean cereal! Its not the best stuff but its alright. Your Breakfast should consist of carbs and healthy fats. I also dont really live off a "low carb diet" because I dont think its very healthy, but I try to watch my carbs to make sure I am not over doing them.

Another poster got me to try a cereal at Targert made by Archer--"Cinnamon Twist" high protein--has 15 grams of Protein not including the milk and 30grams of carbs

I am more of a "South Beach Diet" person in regards to carbs in that I only eat whole-grain carbs and no white sugars--I try to limit those to breakfast. I eat my carbs last as directed, so I get limited carbs anyway.

I have a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and I put a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder in it. It's about 26 grams of Protein total.

I just brought the Kashi Go Lean, my bix have more Protein in it, if I am not mistaking....plus I have the one that has the strawberry in it...I don't plan on putting milk with mine unless I do the yogurt. I have been on the Activia because my bowels have not been working properly.....

The Archer Farms cinnamon cereal isn't bad...I just can't eat in the AM anymore so it's always Protein Shake for me :grouphug:

I do eat the Kashi GoLean with soy milk...LOVE it..and measure out the cup. It not only has a large amt of Protein, it also has a large amt of fiber! So far I've been able to get it down and usually have it daily.

I just bought Special K Low Fat Granola. It has 6g Protein. Not high protein but it's better than cereal and I'll mix it with yogurt and fruit. Simple and Quick. I get plenty more protein throughout the day.

I like Heritage brand cereal--cold, flakes, a serving (3/4 cup) is 110 calories and 4 grams of Fiber. If you put a half cup of milk in it, it's about 9 grams total, not bad for Breakfast. And you actually get to chew!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
