How does everyone eat Cereal?

I measure out a cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of almond milk unsweetened

It looked like a ton of cereal but it never made me full is that because its a "slider food"?

I love cereal and eat it often, however for me it's definitely a slider food. I have to be careful to always measure it because I could probably eat a lot if I wanted to,

You also have to remember cereal typically isn't real filling, anyway. I try to stick to high Fiber and whole grain. I stay away from the sugary varieties.

Most cereal lists one serving as 3/4 cup so that's usually what I measure out.

I always thought cereal did not keep me full because there wasn't enough Protein.< /p>

Any one else know if that's correct? Although, steel cut oatmeal, a little bran, a little cinnamon, truvia and fresh blueberries...mmmmm, maybe my fav Breakfast. Cold cereal... Not so much.

I add Special K Protein to my Greek yogurt in the morning. If I feel I need an extra boost of Protein, I add a scoop of unflavored Protein powder.

Try some of the newer cereals, like Kellogg's Special K High Protein. It is delicious and gives you 10 GM of Protein. You will see many new products that are specifically marked HIGH PROTEIN. I think they were made specifically for Me! ;). You will see they are measured out as "3/4 cup" to get your protein. Use your Fitness Pal to track everything you put in your mouth.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
