Cereal

[GotProlactinoma 458]

I'm only 2 months out, but I've started making my own granola made with oats, and seeds. It has a little olive oil and a little maple Syrup in the recipe but I dropped the sugar it called for. The only fruit is a very small amount of dried sour cherries. And I measure out 2 oz only when I eat it.

i do need the Fiber so I take is an important part of my daily nutrition. I will not be buying boxed cereals hopefully ever again for myself. But the quantity is king. If it's full of Protein and nutrition, and a couple oz fit into your desired daily food, then go for it when you can digest it. My carbs are quite low even with those two ounces.

One of the best things about this surgery is that a tiny amount of something good is actually satisfying! It never was before. I thought all the skinny people were lying. One bite of a cookie can't be as satisfying as the whole box! But yes. Now it can. For real. I love that.

Nope. You really should not be eating cereal. I'm not sure where you are at on our journey but you will be told to focus on Protein, followed by non-starchy vegetables and only if you have any room left do you eat carbs or starchy vegetables. Cereal has far too many carbs. Carbs will sabotage your weight loss. After you have reached your goal you can very slowly add carbs back to your diet to maintain your weight.

"You really should not be eating cereal" Nice of you to say. BUT you don't know each plan , and her plan may allow for cereal, so I think saying in your opinion its not a good idea, is different than telling what someone should do or should not do.

I am allowed cereal on my plan but just dont think its worth it lol . But if it is on someones plan I am sure it would not be if their surgeon felt it would sabotage their plan. But if it is not on someone's plan I agree they should not be having it.
