You should try Kashi GoLean Cereal. It's really tasty and has lots of Protein and Fiber. It cured my cereal craving.

Thanks for the suggestion Jen. Not enough Protein in Cheerios to make eating worthwhile:(

You also might want to try UNCLE SAM cereal. It also is high Protein and high fiber.

I Know all dietitians say different things but I was advised not to eat cereal anymore due to it being considered drinking and eating together =\ she said the cereal will swell in my pouch and would take up space that nutritive stuff could be placed.

I was told cereal is OK if 3 grams of sugar or less with just a splash of milk due to the no eating and drinking at the same time. I am eating Special K Protein Plus. 2 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein in a 3/4 cup serving.

I was told cereal is OK if it's low sugar and high fiber, but I like to drown my cereal in milk so it won't be worth it to me anymore. I never ate cereal that often but I did like it once in a while.

Yep, watch the sugar content. Cereals are notorious for hidden sugar. (Watch artificial sweeteners too as they only feed your sugar cravings.) They are also high carb. Look for multi or whole grain cereals - better carbs. I was allowed rolled oats from early on. I make it with lactose free milk. I eat a milky, though still thickish, bowl every day - good source of Protein. No sweeteners at all except a few blueberries on occasions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
