Special K Diet?



Recommended Posts

I don't know much but it does have a lot of sugars and carbs. To break the meat and Beans only I found Special K Protein Cereal the carbs r not the best but has 10 grams of protein and keeps me full with fat free milk and today a1/4 of a banana. For some reason on the weekends I tend to be hungrier more perhaps to much down time

The knowledge I have received is that all the Special K products are not healthy. Very high in sugar with little nutritional value. This is according to my Bariatric NUT.

Ok. That's what I thought. I'm back to work and the past month has been very difficult with my weight lost. I'm not loosing as much as before. So I wanted to do something like it. My schedule isn't always the same so my eating patterns doesn't allow me to have that Breakfast lunch dinner like I should. Or like when I was home.

Ok that's what I thought. Ever since I went bk to work I haven't been able to eat the right way (breakfast lunch dinner) due to different schedule everyday so I was looking for something like it. Any ideas?

What kind of surgery did you have? I know the recommendation for the sleeve is Protein first, then veg/fruit, then carbs. My schedule is kind of insane also, and while I'm still pre-op, I've been getting by by keeping pre-portioned servings of Protein Shakes with me. A couple of times I've picked up ready-made shakes on the go. My NUT also recommended sort of packing a whole day's worth of meals/nutrition goals, then eating on that as time allows. She said the planning/portioning in advance makes this more like thoughtful snacking and less like grazing, and if I pack all of my daily protein/reduced carbs, etc., I'll be guaranteed to meet my numbers. Bento boxes are great for something like this.

I had the sleeve on 10/07 n I was doing great at first but as a pharmacy tech my schedule got a little hectic and now they have this whole new rule that we can't keep our drinks near us which is what's throwing me off. Before I had it near me so it was a constant reminder kinda like in your face kinda thing now I go hours and not sip on anything cus we are so busy with flu, colds, and every one being sick.

      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
