Cereal

Today is day 16 since my surgery and I am craving Kix Cereal for whatever reason is this ok to eat?

On my surgeon's plan it would be a no go because of the carbs. Sometimes its funny how random foods I used to eat pop in my head. Was Kix in your normal rotation before or did the craving come from nowhere?

It came from no where ugh I'll pass not trying to hurt myself

At 16 days, I was just starting soft food. That means foods with a soft texture that will stay on a spoon, but just barely. Kix would not be it. Plus, I agree about the carbs....they can really slow your roll.

I'm on pureed, and runny oatmeal is an option. Would that be an acceptable substitute? I had some for Breakfast earlier this week. Could only eat a few bites, but it was nice to "chew".

I found I was lactose intolerant afterwards and if you are referring to eating traditional cereal with milk, that's having Fluid with your meal and it was a total disaster when I tried.

I'm 11 months out and cereal to this day is not a go to craving for all of the above reasons.

I agree with the posters above, 16 days is too soon!!!

Okay - got to ask, exactly what nutritional value will you gain and retain from Kix??

Sugar cravings are hard, and unfortunately for many of us, feeding that craving only makes us crave more. Go for nutritionally dense foods, and cut out all the empty calories you can.

I don't know what surgery you had, but I haven't heard of any of them advising eating foods like that, but rather the less processed ones that are lower in carbs and higher in Protein. Sorry to be the wet blanket here, but at 16 days out it's a great time to cement those better eating habits. Good luck!

HeyI would say to just taste it. One bite and you might not want anymore.
