Hi, Im a Cereal binge eater, and i was wondering how everyone does with cereal after the lapband?

I do great - I usually opt for ceral if after 6:00pm it does not sit in my pouch long And I usually opt for it as my Breakfast.< /p>

I find cereal very difficult to eat, actually, which is too bad because I often want the extra Fiber. When I get a yen for it I pour a small bowl or something like raisin bran, and I usually can't finish it.

I LOVE cereal. I'd rather pour a bowl of cereal then eat a candy bar!!! I have so many favorites & it's been one of the hardest things for me to give up!!! I will still eat it for breakfast sometimes, but I just eat it in a VERY small bowl. I chose the healthy stuff, but everyone once in awhile I give in to my kids Peanut Butter Captian Crunch.

I love cereal for breakfast but find it does not keep me satisfied for very long. I've been eating 4 oz of lite ricotta cheese (140 cals) and find the high Protein does the trick in satisfying my hunger.

I tried cereal with a bit of milk two days ago for breakfast and did not do well. I kept burping repeatedly the entire time and so I think I have written that off my list.

I have no problem with it but I too find it doesnt stay with me for long, I'll definitely be hungry mid morning. But I usually eat cereal because I just cant face heavy stuff like eggs in the morning, I have to stick with cardboard.

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one! I've been banded 3 months and just this week started eating cereal again. I am eating some "heart healthy" mess, I'm eating it dry out of a baggie at my desk at work. I too am hungry mid morning, that's when I drink crystal lite and call it Water.< /p>

I love cereal!!! If I ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner I would be happy!! My favorite right now is Frosted Chex and the Cheerios with strawberry yogurt flavor. It goes down pretty well and to me it is very satisfying. :hungry:

I never had problems with cereal and I am too a cereal binge eater, I will sit down and eat almost all of the box. So what I do is DONT buy it! I just cant I eat the whole dang thing....

I can't eat too much cereal and milk. If I want cereal, I do better with it dry, and I usually am good with a 'serving' of it.

DianeChef- PUT down the Captain Crunch!! :eek:

I sometimes will eat Special K with Strawberries and HEB's Mootopia milk (less sugar, fat free and MORE protein).

I used to eat a HUGE bowl (or 2) of fruity pebbles each morning for Breakfast. Glad I can't do that anymore! But I still LOVE my cereal!!

haha you guys are great! since childhood, I have had an issue with cereal. Its like a drug. I can eat an entire box of fruity pebbles (sure I will be feeling sick) but I just cant help it.

Cereal is my favorite food ever! With so much of us that LOVE cereal I'm starting to wonder if there is a link from cereal and obesity haha.

I love, love, love cereal, but unfortunately, I can NOT lose weight when I eat it. I was too tight after my surgery this past December and after my wreck in February and I started eating Special K with skim milk. Sounds healthy, right? I didn't drop any weight at all!!!! I love it:drool:, but I must stay away from it.:tt1:
