cereal binge eaters

I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one who's a Cereal binge eater. I'm just entered the soft foods stage, so i'm a bit gun-shy about trying it (to say nothing that cereal was/is one of my big weaknesses so it's best not to have it in the house).

Wow I had no idea that so many people had a problem with cereal. I think I am going to have to stay away. I have no control over myself when it comes to cereal. Cereal helped me get to the 343 that I started at. I had a tough surgical experience and that helps me want to kick butt with my band.

Cereal was really the only food that I was really missing, because 1. I love it and 2. I'm like Jachut and just can't eat anything much heavier for Breakfast. My nutritionist said that I can have a cereal with about 100 calories per 1 cup serving and at least 4 grams of Fiber. So, now I eat Honey Toasted Oat Cereal made by Kashi (healthy food aisle). It's not exactly Honey Nut Cheerios (my personal favorite), but I just measure out my 1 cup serving (I didn't measure at all pre-band, but I know that for me a serving was at least 3X that!), and then I try to put as little milk on it as possible. I don't drown it in milk anymore because I think having the milk with the cereal isn't really that much different than drinking with a meal. Maybe the milk thing is why the cereal doesn't "last" with so many people?

It's funny how everyone is so different. I love me some Cereal and I can eat it just fine. I try to stick to low sugar varieties. I eat Rice Krispies for lunch sometimes. I measure out my portions and I use half a cup of skim milk. It doesn't keep me as full as say chicken does but it will hold me over for 3 hours or so.
