I was sleeved on November 1st so I am almost 3 months out but I have been wondering when I can try cold Cereal again. Is there a time frame for it?

I'm not sure, I would say try a bite and see how you feel.

I'm looking forward to eating Special K Protein plus cereal! It has less carbs and extra protein. Yummy!

Good luck.

I have eaten cold cereal since 3 weeks out so I think you will def be safe to start! I started off with 1/4 soggy weetbix (that's what we call them over here) and then per NUT any other high Protein cereal from 6 weeks.

You should be fine , I've had cereal about 8 wks out, only 1/4 of a cup , with lactaid milk. My stomach doesn't handle reg milk very well. The only way to find out what your stomach can handle is to try a little at a time. My dr told me , try anything , see how it reacts , just remember eat very little ;)

Okay good. I've been a little nervous to try but I tolerate cold milk (2% and 1% lactose free) really well. I do Protein Shakes with cold milk. So I will try a little. Thanks for the replys.

I found this online-

4 weeks after surgery-Cold cereal with less than 5 grams of sugar per serving (examples: plain shredded wheat, original Fiber One®, Rice Krispies®, plain Cheerios®, corn flakes.) is fine.. you may want to let it soak if you have apprehensions, and of course use skim, soy or fat free milk.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
