Can I eat cereal w/ milk?

Just wondering if anyone has been able to eat Cereal with milk and keep it down. Cereal is one of the things that I miss and I am wondering if anyone has tried it. I am 5 weeks out.

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 have had cereal with milk with no problems.

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.
