Cereal.

Anyone have suggestions on Cereal. I'm tired of oatmeal. I can now have cereal but having a difficult time finding one that actually tastes decent and is within my guidelines (sugar & carbs) etc.... Let me know thanks!

I like the Special K Protein Cereal...I sometimes eat that before a workout session with my trainer.

sorry, I cannot even consider cereal--even oatmeal--per my NUT until I am at least 6 months out...I know when I was trying to eat healthy pre-op, my two favorite healthy choices were Special K (they make a high Protein variety) and Shredded Wheat (my favorite)

Wow 6 months? I'm two months and approved for it :/ but ok thanks both of you I will try them.

Jessica, I don't think it is because my stomach won't tolerate it; it's just my NUT has a very strict plan when it comes to carbs and starches...per her plan, I cannot have bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, corn, cereal--anything like that for at least 6 months, because she says it will slow or stop weight loss...it does sound sort of overly strict to me, especially based on other comments that have been posted here, but for now I am definitely trying to stay with the plan she gave me

That's good tho. I'm allowed bread Pasta etc now and was cleared at 8 weeks. I had one gluten free waffle at first and had a half of pb&j on whole grain whole wheat but honestly haven't had it since! It made me feel yucky. You're not missing anything lol.

That was almost a month ago. Won't do it again..

Try the Kashi Cereals. I eat the Kashi Go Lean Crunch Honey Nut Flax (or something like that!) and it has as much Protein as an egg, and it's nice and crunchy!
