When can I eat cold cereal again?!



Recommended Posts

Special K Protein, Wheaties, Shredded Wheat: I love them so much!!!!

All under 5 grams of sugar per serving, and I won't add extra sugar. Will eat them with super Protein skim milk. But -- are they even allowed at all? Do you have to crush them up?

Who eats cold Cereal, when did you start, and how do you do it?

i have been eating Cereal since about 2 months out.. I did change to Kasha go Lean though. We need Protein more than carbs and it tastes pretty good.. Make sure you measure and only small amounts.. I remeber presurgery I could eat a half box of cereal, it seemed, at a time. I now know what the real serving size looks like and it astonishes me at how much I used to eat.. Measure measure measure :)

It was on my OK list from 2 weeks on, as long as I let it sit and soak and get soft.

My NUT doesn't want me eating cereal with milk. I can eat it dry or in yogurt. Im 6 weeks out, and this afternoon I had a serving of Special K Protein as a snack. It is a nice crunchy snack for me :)

I eat kashi go lean or Special K Protein with skim milk. It is important to always measure though.

Thanks for the replies everyone! My take away is that I shouldn't, but if I do, 1. do it infrequently 2. measure, 3. let it soak a bit first, 4. if it feels bad -- STOP.

I'll keep my Special K Protein around to add as a topping to yogurt or as a dry snack.< /p>

Thanks for the encouragement, and congrats to you all on your amazing stats!!!

I eat cereal, but didn't start till I was over a year out. Sometimes with Breakfast and sometimes as a late night snack.< /p>

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
