Can I eat cereal w/ milk?



Recommended Posts

At about 6 weeks out (when I was cleared to eat all foods) I had honey nut cheerios w/milk and it was awesome (I just made sure to let is soak a little before eating) mm mm good :).

Cereal has always been one of my favorite foods... also a HUGE trigger, and it goes down all too well after surgery! Even when I'm being super-strict, when I allow myself a "treat" (something other than just Protein or non-starchy veggies), cereal's usually the first thing I turn to.

I love love love cereal and milk.

BUT it is totally a trigger food for me. I used to fill my bowl full of cereal, douse it with milk, and then keep adding cereal from the box until the milk was gone....such a bad habit. It is also the kind of food that I used to eat from the box by the handful, and there is NO WAY to keep track of how much you are eating when you do that. So I'm sure that someday I will try it, but since I have a bad personal history with cereal I'm 8 weeks out and have not yet had it.

I still do my egg beaters almost every morning. The only variation I have done is a Protein bar or shake, or I did make some of that "cloud bread" (google it for recipes or check our own recipe board) and used some of that in the toaster oven with cheese for a cheesy toaster sandwhich.

I'm four months out and just started eating cereal with milk on occasion. I try to get at least 10-15 grams of Protein at Breakfast, and cereal just didn't fit with that plan until now. I eat Kashi Go Lean which has 13 grams of protein per cup (though I usually only have 1/2-2/3 cup at a time with the same amount of skim milk). I let it sit for a few minutes so it is not so crunchy. It is also good when added to non-fat, vanilla or plain greek yogurt.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
