Fiber one cereal



Recommended Posts

Any thoughts on if this would good for the sleeve. my question applies to a person who is at least post month 6 in order to be past all healing. I used to eat Fiber One Cereal all the time (read: every morning) pre op and just loved the original flavor with very little added sugar. I am wondering if there are any unintended side effects like too much swelling, etc. I would love to eat this again as a digestion regulator ( read: fancy smancy for guaranteed daily BM - lol). This would be as a replacement long term for the chia seed / Miralax I take daily now, which, by the way, is a good digestion regulator also. One bowl provides approximately 57% daily fiber. Thanks all for your responses.

You know fiddle, I just bought some two weeks ago because BTB, swears by them, they are tasty. Not to much in my Greek yogurt, but with a bit of milk. It was nice to eat cereal!

They haven't caused any bloating or gas problems. But they haven't helped with regularity either (if you know what I mean) truth be told I've only had them about twice each week though.

I think you need to eat a whole bowl (or whole serving) for the fiber to do its magic. And it has plenty of magic to share, believe me. :)

If you can tolerate it, and it doesn't cause cravings, I say yes.

I eat cereal now. Generally oatmeal (1/4 cup raw mixed with 1/2 cup Water and a little soy milk), and sometimes other Breakfast cereals such as Cheerios, Kashi Puffs, or Shredded Wheat. I just bought some Special K chocolate to try for when I want something sweet in the evening.

Try a small serving (maybe 1/2 a regular serving) and see how it sits.

I eat a serving about every third day. I like it and eat it dry or with Greek yogurt. I believe that it really does help.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
