Was told I can do Special K as part of soft foods.

I haven't yet. Started soft foods today and started with oatmeal.

Weeks out, on soft foods, I totally wanted crunch berries, so I let em soak and get soggy and ate every bite....they were delightful. They my reactive hypoglycemia kicked in and I ended up laying on the bathroom floor shaking with a horrible headache, feeling like I was gonna puke,

Sorry that happened to you.

Turns out, I'm a dumper ;P I now know I can steal a bite or two of my son's cereal but no more! Yet another lesson learned the hard way!!!

Wellll, almost 8 weeks out and I tried a small bowl of Protein Cheerios and a little milk... it made me so full and kind of upset my stomach. I think it's safe when you are cleared to try all food.< /p>

After a month from my surgery I started to have Special K high Protein cereal with soy milk. I am 3.5 months out and I have had it maybe a handful of times. I try to just have yogurt and avoid cereal and soy all together. I also don't drink regular milk. No need for it and also our bodies don't break down the sugars in the milk very much. So I stay away from it.

Kay's Natural cereal has 12g of Protein and when you add a half of a cup of milk it comes up to 16g of protein in that meal. They are tasty and so are their Snacks. The snacks have 12g of protein in them per serving.

Vitacost.com has the best price on Kay's Naturals products.

I started eating 1 oz of dry cereal around the 12 week post-op mark. As of now, I can eat 1 oz of cereal with about 4 oz of milk. I love starting my day off this way.

I'm almost 4 months out and I love having my cereal again. The Special K Red Berries hits the spot for me, 1/2 cup of real milk and I'm good to go :-) as long as the cereal gets soft and isn't sweetened it usually sits ok with my tummy. That sweet stuff is a no go :-)

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
