New Special K Protein Cereal...



Recommended Posts

I just bought a box and I love it. It has 10 grams of Protein per 3/4 cup serving. It has 7 grams of sugar per serving. Is that too much sugar? It is lightly sweetened with a hint of cinnamon. Combined with skim milk, that gives a pretty good source of protein for my Breakfast. Of course, I was not able to eat a full serving, but it is a start.

I love it! It is quick and easy! I have been eating it almost every morning for the past month. I love it with almond milk, actually. I tried it with skim milk and it wasn't as good. I am not sure what amount of sugar we are supposed to get, but I figure that it is really the only sugar I am getting in in a day so I'm okay with it.

What are the carbs per serving? I know we don't eat a whole serving ( at least I can't), but I'm just curious :)

OMG I love that cereal! I was eating it pre-op and was hoping to be able to have it again in a few weeks/months. My NUT told me to look for things that are <5 g sugar, but really, if you mostly restrict your sugar anyway, what's an extra 2g? And thats if you eat the whole serving. I'd say we're good.

Edited: total carbs are 19. I still have 1/2 box in my cupboard. I'm not planning on counting carbs, per se, just keeping my diet low-sugar.

I was told no more than 19g of carbs at a single sitting, so that would still fit with what I was told, especially since I couldn't eat a whole serving unless I took an hour to do it :P

I really like the cereal as well. I was excited to find it. It helps to give our bodies a little break from all the meat and egg Proteins.

Good stuff! :)

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm preop and I know it will be a long time before I can eat this but I love cereal for breakfast and I was not excited about not having it post op.

      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.
